Pilot makes an ink under the Iroshizuku brand that has a fantastic magenta called Yama-Budo. It and other Iroshizuku inks are available at Amazon for very good prices. If I were to start over I would only buy Iroshizuku inks, they are that good and very well respected by the fountain pen community.

Ok. I'm going to give you a number of options here. Mostly they're white (because white goes with everything dahlink) but one is pink. They're all inexpensive. I'm giving you Amazon links and prices here, but you could use Goulet or maybe even get a better price on ebay. Here you go:

The Cross Beverly, about $36. Some people don't like Cross fountain pens, I love mine. This will be an attractive and reliable pen that she can be proud to use anywhere. It should come with Cross ink cartridges, which are very nice.

The Parker Vector, about $20. It's a bit plain looking, but they're superb pens, very reliable and write very well. It should have Parker ink cartridges.

The Jinhao 159, about $10. Very inexpensive, but Jinhao makes a surprisingly nice pen. It probably has a converter or can use standard cartridges. (It doesn't come with ink.)

The Jinhao 950 in white porcelain with blue chinese decoration, for less than $5.50. This is a very attractive pen (much nicer than the price implies) and the porcelain feels luxurious. (I have one with different decorations.) Also, the nib can be interchanged with the Goulet pen nibs. (Again, doesn't come with ink, probably has a converter in it.)

The Parker Urban, in pink, about $40. (It's not available in white, but that's a rather smashing pink, don't you agree?) This is a very stylish pen. She will be proud to pull it out and use it anywhere. I have one in black. Again, Parker makes fabulous pens. It probably comes with ink.

Or if you want to go very cheap on the pen and maybe get some nice ink with your budget, there's the Jinhao 599 under $5, although I will tell you you should be able to get this for under $2 on ebay.

Ink for her new pen

As I said above, the Parker pens come with ink, and they use a proprietary size cartridge. You can get a Parker converter or you can get craft syringes to refill a cartridge from bottled ink after she uses it up.

If you're getting her a beautiful pen, why not get her some lovely ink to go with it?

Wouldn't some lovely deep purple Iroshizuku ink (about $20) make a lovely impression with the white pens? I just got my first bottle of Iroshizuku this week and let me tell you, the bottle is gorgeous. Or maybe if she wants something less girly, a lovely deep turquoise for under $26?

Or if you want something a little less girly for ink, maybe you might want to look at the infamous (but glorious) Noodler's Baystate Blue for less than $13?

Or something slightly more exotic, with their Apache Sunset ink which shades from yellow to vermillion with writing?

If you want to get her some lovely ink in cartridges, because it's an easy way for her to start, you want to look at Goulet pens' web site for that, they have a lovely selection. I'll leave that shopping to you. Remember standard cartridges won't work in the Parker pens.

[edit:] If it were me, I'd get the Parker Urban, the Parker converter, the Iroshizuku purple, and the Noodler's Apache Sunset. That pen just screams style, even if it's stereotypically pink. (And they do make it in other colors, if you want to search Amazon.) She'll think of you every time she touches it.

Also Yama Budo for $15.29 and Take Sumi for $14.87

Just this week I got Kon-peki and Shin-kai for $19 each and Momiji for $15 on Amazon.com. All had Prime shipping.

For Yama-budo, anywhere from $20-25 is a typical price on Amazon.com; earlier in the fall it was under $20 for several weeks (CamelCamelCamel). Occasionally it's cheaper from a third-party seller who ships directly from Japan, but the savings are usually on the order of $2-3 with a wait time of two weeks (as opposed to two days).

What about this

You can definitely manage to get Iroshizuku bottles for lower than that in the UK though. For example, how about these. These are from Japan, so have a longer shipping time, but have no import fees as the are under the threshold, and have Amazon customer service regardless. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but I think you may be somewhat overpriced, with shipping costs taken into account, some of them price pretty closely with the main UK storefronts (Thewritingdesk.co.uk has them for £27.50).

If you do lower the price, I am interested in a few of the iroshizuku bottles. If not, I wish you the best in selling them.
