A favorite around the office include these Beetle Tip Highlighters. With a specialized tip this highlighter does more than an ordinary highlighter. It allows you to highlight in bold, loops, stripes, and more!


Ever own a highlighter that smells like your favorite soda? We’re not kidding! Our Soda Scented Highlighters feature smells like lemon, orange, and even grape. Not only do these come in different scents but in multiple colors as well!


These Color-transforming Highlighters are truly unique. After you use the highlighter tip, write over it with the white tip on the opposite end to reveal the hidden color! Which combinations of colors do you like the best?

Turkey, autumn leaves, pumpkin pie...and did we mention turkey? This combination of things only brings one holiday to mind...that's right, Thanksgiving!

The employees at Cool Pencil Case are definitely enjoying their day off to spend it with family and friends but just before they left for the long weekend, check out a couple of their responses when asked what they were thankful for this season:

"I am thankful for family, friends, and delicious food!"  -Stephanie, Office Assistant.

"There are many things I am thankful for! A couple include good health, family, and being surrounded by great people!"  -Marra, PR Coordinator.

And now to turn the question to Cool Pencil Case lovers, what are you thankful for?

Will this Hello Kitty Phone Make You Go Team Android?

Here in America, we like to revel in the special edition colors that come out in this season's hottest smartphones. Unfortunately, we don't have the pleasure of choosing out Hello Kitty-themed phones, seen in the vid below. This Samsung Galaxy Y, the first Hello Kitty smartphone released by Samsung, boasts 20 included kawaii wallpapers and an adorable on/off animation featuring Hello Kitty herself. We initially came across this beauty on tumblr, and for a while, we at the Cool Pencil Case office were debating on if this phone was actually real. This Hello Kitty edition of the Samsung Galaxy Y isn't available in the U.S. through any major phone carriers, so this video will have to do, for now at least.

NEW ARRIVALS: Food Takes Over Cool Pencil Case!

Before we start this blog post off, we bid you some caution: No, none of these delicious-looking school supplies are safe for consumption. Still, that doesn't mean you can't pay homage to some of your favorite snacks while you're in the classroom. With that being said, leave your tastebuds out of it and indulge in some of Cool Pencil Case's pens, pencils, and erasers that only look good enough to eat!

food erasers and pencils at CoolPencilCase.com
Pocky Slim-Scented Pencil 5-Pack ($5.25) 

If you took a walk into Cool Pencil Case's office, you'd notice that Pocky is definitely one of our favorite snacks (next to Hello Panda, of course). We were super excited to see these Pocky pencils finally debut at CoolPencilCase.com. Besides the true-to-life colors of each of the four colors, they all smell absolutely delectable. The best part? You can enjoy each flavor (through writing) over and over since each order comes in packs of five.

Chewy Candy Eraser Packs ($4.25)

Our photographer had tons of fun shooting these new Chewy Candy Eraser Packs. This shot was her personal favorite because it pretty much invites you to grab your favorite pack from the tray. Like we said, none of these chewy candy erasers are edible, but we can only imagine the "oohs" and "aahs" once you pop out with one of those Jelly Bean erasers in class!
