Nothing says ” I love you, boo” than with a tool that stands the test of time.

This Valentine’s Day we have more than one way to say “be mine”… whether it’s with words, equations of devotion (math is SO not my thing), post-it proposals or declarations of love through a deck of cards; Sharpie is ready to play Cupid!

 

Sharpie Pen proposal for the lady in your life? Better than a box of chocolates, I’ll say!

You+ Me= Us… or this works too.

Why not take a look back and reminisce with friends and family as you ring in 2012 and leave a wish for the new year? Personally I think its truly a “winning” idea.. c’mon you can’t talk about 2011 without a good Charlie cameo.

So, to take a page from Real Simple, how about a little Sharpie scribble to bring in 2012 in style…

Aka time for the holiday Sharpie spirit to strike!

 All through the month you can count on us to showcase our favorite holiday and winter inspirations and to start us off; how about a Sharpie tablecloth that says more than “dinner’s ready.”

D.I.Y Blog, Big Cricket Design, recently showcased a table worth giving thanks for, and it was completed all with Sharpie! Now, it may be a little late for turkey talk, but just change the words around and you have a holiday hit.

Well, we have done it again for the 2011 holiday season, and are proud to introduce the Sharpie Stainless Steel PEN!! A deluxe pen version designed specifically for everyday writing and perfect for the Sharpie lover on your list (especially the eco-friendly one given its refillable cartridge).  Its ultra-fine point tip and no-bleed ink make it perfect for taking notes, journaling, and adding a personal touch to holiday cards, gift tags and more. It’s the gift that just keeps on giving!  

The new Sharpie Stainless Steel Pen lays out the same bold, smooth, high-quality writing experience you have come to expect from Sharpie.  It’s also fade-, water- and smear-resistant when dry.   

Be a good Santa and drop one of these under your tree, into a stocking — or smuggle one away for yourself. ‘Tis the season to shine!

(You know, assuming he/she isn’t something out of Horrible Bosses.)

Feels good to be on top.

Not only is the Stainless Steel Sharpie refillable and therefore good for the environment, (and the bottomline), it’s also the most powerful Sharpie out there- a Sharpie that will prompt them to think of their new favorite employee everytime they uncap…

Now, take a minute and honor the ORIGINAL boss and tell us; how does your boss rank as the ”El Capitan?”
