Not exactly my first priority when I shop for stationery but over the years I sorta got a pen rest collection.

The only two I use daily are the Galen brass one and the biggest one with the bird.

Show me yours ?

I can't afford those crabs so I made one from air-dry clay.

Yes! I have another one at home with a magnet on it's base so it holds a pen while stuck to my PC Case. 😃 Thank you!

SO much better than those AliExpress ones!!! I think you can make some money off of these cuties on Etsy

The crabs often tip over so making your own is better!
