Executive Memo Pad and Pen Set*
Pen set includes one sticky notepad.
Simple and sleek, the Executive Memo Pad and Pen Set holds business cards and post it notes in one high polished piece that looks like it belongs on a serious desk. Cards stand ready on one side, the sticky notepad sits flat and waiting on the other, and the pen parks alongside so it is never the thing being hunted for when a number has to be written down in the next four seconds. One sticky notepad is included, so the set is working from the moment the box is opened.
It makes a great gift for executives or the young entrepreneur, and that is the quiet reason it lands so well. A desk accessory is one of the few gifts a person uses every single working day, in front of every colleague and every client who sits down across from them. The high polished finish catches the light on a dark wood desk or a white laminate one equally well, and the shape is restrained enough that it never competes with the work spread out around it.
Have a name and title engraved on the base to complete the set. Two short lines are all it takes, the name on one and the title underneath. For the graduate holding a first business card, that engraved title is the first time it has appeared on anything other than the card itself. For the colleague who just made partner, or the director clearing a desk after thirty years, it is the line that turns a handsome accessory into a keepsake with their own story on it. Companies send the Executive Memo Pad and Pen Set out as a client gift for much the same reason, because a person's name is remembered far longer than a logo on a mug.
Picture it on the desk of the person you have in mind: cards ready to hand across, notes ready to take, a pen that has not wandered off, and their name engraved on the base underneath all of it. Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and HansonEllis will engrave it in-house.

Which one should I choose
A desk gift usually comes down to whether you want something the person uses, something with their name on it, or both.
| Executive Memo Pad and Pen Set | Choose it when you want one piece that does the daily work, holding business cards, post it notes and the pen, with a name and title engraved on the base. |
|---|---|
| An engraved pen on its own | Choose that when the gift needs to be pocket sized and travel with the person rather than stay on the desk. |
| A plain notepad holder with no engraving | Choose that when the set is office stock for a supply cupboard and no individual name belongs on it. |
For a named individual with a title worth marking, the Executive Memo Pad and Pen Set wins, because it is useful every working day and it says who the desk belongs to.
