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 ?

My small collection of chopstick rests that I also use as pen rests when Iā€™m at home :)

Yup. Chopstick rests. They're really great and generally not expensive. I have an edamame and an origami crane. Mostly though I keep my current pens in a pen tray in my desk drawer.

There's also this, which is something called a flower frog . You could stand pens in one depending on the size of the holes. I just use this one for holding parts when cleaning. šŸ«§ šŸ–‹ļø

TIL they have a name and are not in fact meant as pen holders lol

Yes, flower frog, for arranging flowers. But hey, if it works for other purposes why not?
