A Rainbow of Recycled Fruit Flavor
February 8th, 2008
Some of our favorite things:
1. Julie Andrews (Okay, Neil Diamond was going to be first, but we’re going somewhere with this…)
2. The smell of white cake
3. Kittens (Not cats…)
4. Rootbeer
5. Children’ observations between the ages of 3 and 5
6. Newly sharpened pencils (c’mon, they’re heaven!)
7. Fingers stained by picking fresh raspberries
Despite our usual cynicism from day-to-day, we realized this list could go on and on. Maybe it’s the impending Holidays and we’re still in the honeymoon phase (you know, the time before you realize how much you have to do and everybody starts getting crabby), but we’re feeling pretty excited about life.
For lack of a proper English word, we’re feeling Smencil-tastic! Imagine opening up a pack of Smencils on a winter morning…
What’s a Smencil you ask? Well, imagine combining several of your favorite things into a perfectly adorable set of writing utensils. The fun of newly sharpened pencils combined with your favorite smells of childhood, berries, rootbeer, lemons, and more!
It might not be Neil Diamond, but get excited…SMENCILS ARE COMING!!!

OMG! I’m in LOVE with smencils (and love to say the name, hell it’s even fun to write it out) and got them as stocking stuffers over the holidays. These look awesome

When you click on “classic smencils”, why is that price less? You’re paying $.33 for fancy packaging? If that’s the case, I wish I had noticed that first. I know I may be cheap, but I like to call it frugal.

Hi Kim,
The colored pencils just naturally cost a bit more to make. The fancy packaging is a nice bonus!

I just want to be clear…these write in colors like orange, red, etc?

Jenny,
Yes. They are colored pencils. The colors are:
pink, red, yellow, purple, brown, dark blue, light blue, green, orange and black.
Each is individually packaged and smells different.

I’d like to reply to Kim’s comment about the colored Smencils being $.33 more than the original Smencils. Actually, when today’s sale price goes away they are $2.00 more and I will gladly pay that again! The fancy packaging, as Kim called it, is a carrying case to keep them in. Which I think is a great idea, and is a bargain at $2 more. At an Art Store you’d pay 3xs that much. Plus they are colored pencils which are always going to be more money than regular pencils. So my advice is, if you like them, then order as many as you need because tomorrow the price goes up!

I gave this to my youngest neice for Hannukah. Her older sister soon appropriated them for her use…. If that is not a sign of a successful present (and a story in sibling envy) I don’t know what else is! I will have to surprise the younger girl with them again in the future…..

I also gave a couple sets for gifts and they were a huge hit. It really does make for a fun and unusaual gift since it’s eco and clever and you can’t find it at Target!!
