Orange highlighter pencils

Some fun goodies from Stubby Pencil Studio arrived in the mail. They sent over samples of their eco highlighter pencils, along with other orange items including this sharpener and a round eraser that lives inside a shell so it won't get dirty. It reminds me of Babybel cheese.

The highlighters are essentially fat, neon colored pencils, so they don't soak through your page. Nifty! My photo doesn't do justice to the neon. I wish the pencils were just a wee bit less hard and more oily so they'd glide along the page more easily, if that makes sense. But they're fun and useful. Find them right here.

    I am not going back to school, but if I did had a "back to school" list these would be on it! I would have preferred these in college than the markers. Some text books were printed on cheap paper that let the marker bleed through. These would have been great!

    These would make a beautiful 'bouquet of pencils' as referred to in 'You've Got Mail'! I was watching this the other night on tv and I was yearning for a lovely bouquet of sharpened pencils..hehe.

    You're so lucky that people send you cool things to try out! Then again, Courtney and I got something new in the mail today, too! FUN! It was from LiEr. :)

    P.S. THANK YOU for removing those nasty verification words! I hope you don't get spammed too awfully because of it.

    I love this! Thanks for sharing these nifty little desk supplies, I wound up on the stubbypencilstudio site drooling over their jellyfish notebook too! Ahh the life of a stationary geek is tough! ;)

    As a fellow orange lover I can't help but obsess over posts like these. I almost bought the highlighters as soon as I read your blog post but instead, I slept on it and bought several items ;)

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Ooh, thanks for sharing! I've been looking for something like this--they remind me of china markers, but they can be sharpened. I think I might have to get some of these!!!

    I love that you think they look like Babybel cheeses - they so do! How cute, and how orange!
