What is on my list of researching at some point in the near future is a to go cup from the EU. I have been using a keepcup for ages and while it still does it's job it's made from plastic and I have been a lot more sceptical of heating food / putting warm beverages in plastic containers. It might be very easy to find a glass or metal cup but maybe it wont be. I would use it for drinking coffee mainly, i already have a metal bottle for water but because that system is easier to get right it didn't require any research.

Many years ago, I wanted to buy a fountain pen. I found lots of pen stores in USA, but since shipping and tariffs have been outrageous as long as I can remember, those stores were completely out of the question. Around that time, UK was still in the EU, so I ended up ordering my pen from one of those pen stores.

A few years later, brexit happened, but I still wanted another fountain pen, so I ended up browsing some EU stores instead. Having an updated list would be nice though.

Currently, my pen collection is as large as I need it to be, so buying more isn't on the top of my mind. However, other fountain pen enthusiasts might benefit from an EU based fountain pen store list.

That sounds like an interesting pick.

I just switched back to using a fountain pen, which is a little tricky for left-handed people. The Parker I bought some years ago reminds me of a gifted one I got and lost in my youth 🥲

It is a nice topic.
