Review & Giveaway: Dong-A Miffy Scented Gel Ink Pens 0.5 mm

Giveaway is all the way at the bottom!

These adorable pens are Dong-A Miffy Scented gel ink pens with 0.5 mm tips from JetPens! I had a few for quite awhile now but I recently picked up the 10-color set because, well, I couldn't resist the colors. And I don't think you guys will be able to either...

Aren't they super cute and desirable?? Yes, there is more than 10 here because it includes a few separate ones.

I love this set. 

Obviously, the pen is very adorable. A simple plastic body with slight indents for grip, a short cap, and a color-matched clip and end plug. The body of the pen is decorated adorably with tiny little apples and two sweet little bunnies (Miffy?). The cap posts easily on the back of the pen and it has the most delicious, satisfying *click* for closing and posting! I love it. I often just sit at my desk and click it on and off.

Easy to pick your colors!

Oh Miffy, you are very cute.

The nib is 0.5mm and I would say it writes the size I'd expect for a 0.5 mm. It is a needlepoint-type nib, not a rollerball nib (such as with on the Uni-ball Signo). Sometimes people are wary of needlepoints because they feel they are not sturdy enough, but these have good ink flow and don't skip, so you don't need to press hard on the tip to write.

The selection of colors for these pens is great and, obviously, drew me to these pens. I started out with a few colors but eventually, I couldn't pass up the others! The scents are reminiscent of Mr. Sketch scented markers, although not quite as strong.

The Dong-A Miffy Scented gel ink pens compares well to other gel pens. The ink doesn't blob or skip while writing. The tip feels ever so slightly scratchy on the page - but not such that it catches on the paper or drags. It's because the tip is thin, and scratchiness is not uncommon with thin needlepoint-type tips. It's scratchy in a nice way. It reminds you that you are using a pen and paper!

A fun set here! Written in my Leuchtturm 1917 notebook. 

Unfortunately, these pens are not refillable, which is an environmentally sad situation, but the price is really reasonable so they're not very expensive to replace. Which you will have to, because they're so fun to use. And sniff.

JetPens has a "Scented Pens" section with a few other scented pen options if you wanted to check it out!
