These are four PSI Mechanical Pencils that I purchased from Exotic Blanks. One in chrome, one in antique pewter, and two in antique brass. The wood is bubinga, also from Exotic Blanks. The finish is Pens Plus. My birthday was last week, and they really made it special at work. One of the best birthdays I've ever had. So I made these to thank the people who went above and beyond for me. Two for planning the party, and two for their very thoughtful gifts.

Courtney gave me this cool Zippo lighter. I know I've talked about collecting Zippos at work before, but I don't remember mentioning the Baltimore Orioles. They were my favorite team when I was a kid, and my mother took me to see them in Oakland in the 70's. Apparently I did mention it at some point, and Courtney remembered. Very thoughtful. She had the gift on her desk for a month before my birthday, and put a countdown on it the last few days. Very sweet.

I was flabbergasted by this one. I LOVE Junior Mints, and often eat them at work. So Lauren made me a Junior Mints house! How amazing is that? I love all the details! From Pen TV to Sydney Fu***** Opera House Lane (there's a story behind this). She obviously put a lot of thought and effort into this gift. I am blessed to work with some amazing and thoughtful people!

Got the engraving done. Courtney's and Lauren's are engraved in the opposite direction because they're left handed.
