Wednesday Wonders: Rilakkuma Sweet Chocolate Pencil Case

Rilakkuma really lives the life. Besides being known for its lazy tendencies, Rilakkuma and friends always have time to enjoy the simple things in life. From visiting France and screaming "Bonjour!" at the top of their lungs, to swimming around in gourmet honey, it's always a wonder what Rilakkuma will do next.

Just in time for the back-to-school season, the Rilakkuma Sweet Chocolate Pencil Case, our newest Rilakkuma pencil case, is in stock!

Shaped just like a delicious chocolate bar, get your sweet fix with this
cute pencil case. The front of this pencil case features Rilakkuma on
a half-torn wrapper, exposing rich, dark chocolate ready to break off in
pieces.

People with a sweet tooth, beware! The back of the pencil case continues
on the luxurious chocolate bar design.

Looking for pens or pencils to fill this pencil case? Why not take a look at our
Sugary Sweet Charm Wooden Pencil. Chocolate has taken over these

Wednesday Wonders: Cool Folders

Our slew of New Arrivals that debuted last week at CoolPencilCase.com included a variety of  subject folders. Of course, we're all still fans of folder dividers, but with these designs, who can say no? Each slim folder keeps homework and important papers protected to keep each sheet as crisp as the first day it was passed to you!

Style File - File Folders for More Than One Subject

For those of you who don't carry too many papers for each class, a folder with included tab dividers would be your best bet. Besides staying organized, this ultra light folder is a great way to keep your school bag light and easy to carry.

Hello Kitty 4-Subject Slim Organizer ($4.15)

Rollin' Solo - Individual Subject Folders

A couple of people in the Cool Pencil Case office did say that they saved all their papers from each class (back in the day), and sometimes a 4-subject organizer like the one above wouldn't do too well. That's where the individual subject folders/envelopes come in.

Kamonohashikamo File Folder ($3.45)

Easily slip your papers in with the Kamonohashikamo file folder, or if you want some extra security, these nifty folders include a velcro-secured flap enclosure.

Animal Ears Horizontal Subject Envelope $4.25

Curious Critters Subject Envelopes ($3.25)

Bono Story Subject Envelopes ($3.25)

Slip 'n' Slide - Sliding Folders

If you don't carry around a three-hole punch, you'll love this folder. By slipping off the sliding end of these folders, you can secure your papers (no hole punch required!) in a book-like format to easily read through lecture notes.

Domo-Kun Slide Folder ($3.25)

Calming Scenery Slide Folder ($2.15)

Have you purchased one of these lately? Let us know which one is your favorite in the comments below!

Web Favorites: Cute USB Flash Drives

USB flash drives are a total must-have for both students and working professionals. It gets a bit inconvenient e-mailing yourself large files or carrying around data disks (who does that anymore?).

Take a look at our favorite flash drives from around the web.

Here's an awesome toy instrument version featuring Carly, late night personality Jimmy Fallon, and The Roots! We dare you not to play this at least four more times after your first play.

Cute Pencil Cases for Girls!

Girls, not all of our pencil cases were made for just cool pencils, pens, and highlighters. We've just rolled out a couple of super cute pencil cases that can double as makeup cases or even a mini purse for a night out on the town!

Our new Hello Kitty Vanity Pencil Box offers one upper and one lower
compartment to fit up to 24 pens and pencils. We're thinking that you'd
want to utilize the vanity mirror located in the second compartment,
so may we also suggest storing lipsticks, eyeshadows,
and maybe even some makeup brushes?

This cute pencil case also comes in pink!

Our new Fancy Bow Pencil Pouch is available in four colors !
All color ways are a must in your wardrobe!

It's the perfect size to fit all of your makeup brushes and small accessories.
Or...

...it can be a great accessory to fit a cell phone, ID case,
and more for your adventures in the city!

Mamegoma Erasers

What we believe to be one of San-X's cutest characters has finally made its way onto CoolPencilCase.com. Mamegoma, an adorable mini seal, is known to fit in the palm of a human hand. Although parts of our dreams have been crushed because Mamegoma isn't a real-life animal we can come home to every day, we at Cool Pencil Case have been somewhat comforted with these cute Mamegoma Costume Erasers that recently debuted in our store.

Eight little Mamegomas, all in a row.

Pink and blue penguins and dolphins, so cute!

Mamegoma as a Polar Bear? Mamegoma, you're so silly.

Dressed up as a walrus.
