Photo Frame Pen Cup*
Add a fun touch to your desk with a photo frame pen cup.
The Photo Frame Pen Cup makes a great gift for any special occasion, and it earns its place because it is used rather than admired. Made from black Ultrahyde with contrast stitching, it is a useful desk accessory that helps keep things organized at the office or at home. Its inner chambers are divided into compartments, so pens, pencils and other stationary sort themselves as they go in and come back out one at a time instead of in a fistful. The recipient would find it a useful tool to keep not only their desk free of clutter, but their mind as well.
What lifts it above every other cup on the desk is the front. It holds a single 2.5" x 2.5" photo, which is room enough for a child, a graduating class, a team at the finish of a project or a dog who does not care about any of it. There is still space alongside for the name of the recipient, personalized in-house by HansonEllis, with a memorable date beneath it: a start date, a graduation year, an anniversary of service.
The black Ultrahyde and the contrast stitching keep it firmly on the professional side of personal. It looks right on an executive desk, a home office table and a student's first apartment alike, because the photo pen cup accommodates both the young and old. That is unusual for a desk gift, and it is why the same piece works for a 21st birthday and a 40-year retirement.
It makes a great gift for birthdays, graduation parties and office parties. Business owners and conference organizers will also find it a great gift for their employees, attendees and customers, since a name and a date turn a branded giveaway into something a person keeps on their own desk for years rather than in a drawer.
Add the name and date above, upload or slot in the photo when it arrives, choose your quantity, and give a gift that gets used every single working day.

Who the Photo Frame Pen Cup is for
- Graduation gifts a name and the graduating year alongside a 2.5" photo, ready for the first desk of a first job.

- Retirement gifts a service date under the name, and a photo of the team they spent those years with.
- Birthdays a useful gift for anyone with a desk, because the photo pen cup accommodates both the young and old.
- Father's Day a picture of the children at the front of the desk, with his name and a date beside it.
- Mother's Day the same idea for a home office or a work desk, personalized rather than generic.
- Office parties and staff recognition a named desk gift handed out at the end-of-year party that stays on the desk afterwards.

- HansonEllis personalizes each pen cup in-house and ships it insured by UPS, FedEx or USPS with tracking emailed to you. Trim a photo to 2.5" x 2.5" and slide it into the front when it arrives.
Ideas for the photo and the personalization
- The recipient's name with a start date or a graduation year underneath, the version that dates the milestone properly.
- A family photo at 2.5" x 2.5", so the desk carries a face rather than a logo.
- A team or department photo for a work anniversary, with the years of service as the date.
- A photo of the building, campus or event alongside the attendee's name for a conference gift.
- A pet photo for the person who would rather look at their dog than at anything on the desk.

Which one should I choose
Desk gifts split by what they organize and how personal they are, and HansonEllis makes several pieces for the same desk.
| Photo Frame Pen Cup | Choose it when the gift should hold a 2.5" photo and a name at the front of the desk while sorting pens and pencils into compartments. |
|---|---|
| Executive memo organizer | Choose it when the recipient deals in notes and business cards more than pens, and needs paper kept to hand instead of a photo on show. |
| Executive wood journal | Choose it when the gift should be carried into meetings rather than left on the desk, and when wood suits the recipient better than Ultrahyde. |
| A plain pen cup with no personalization | Choose it when the desk just needs tidying; nothing on it names the recipient or marks the occasion. |
For a milestone that deserves a date and a face on the desk, the Photo Frame Pen Cup is the one that keeps saying so every working day.
Ordering the Photo Frame Pen Cup for weddings and events
For a conference, an office party or a staff recognition batch, order one pen cup per recipient and email the complete list of names and dates to [email protected] after ordering, so every cup is personalized individually. There is no minimum order. Company logos are handled as a custom order: send a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected], where a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be reproduced. Standard production runs 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping, so build the personalization time into your event date rather than the delivery date. For a wedding party or a wedding-season order, allow 3–6 months. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
