The Timeless Memories 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil lets us know that the memories we make now will be cherished forever. Accented with gold details, these mechanical pencils come in two designs: Snapshots of Paris or Card Games Under the Eiffel Tower. The mechanical pencil is also designed with a pocket watch clip and a gold chain linking it to the sparkling gem topped-advance button.

Reminiscing on fun memories can be even more fun when it's with friends and family. Share your exciting stories by sending letters using the Scrapbook Travels Letter Set. This matching letter set features 40 letter sheets, 20 envelopes, and stickers for sealing the envelopes.

Gangnam Style Halloween Light Show

On our morning commute to work, it can be a bit annoying hearing"Gangnam Style" by Psy playing back to back on three separate radio stations. Still, we at Cool Pencil Case can't resist anything fun that has to do with color and flashing lights. As this viral hit lights up the airwaves, a house in Leesburg, Virginia found a way to light up the neighborhood with the super-catchy song in a different way. According to the description on YouTube, the making of this spectacular light display has taken almost a year to complete. This neighborhood definitely has quite the show each night leading up to Halloween!

Gold Rush: 0.5 mm Mechanical Pencils

We sense a trend going on at Cool Pencil Case. Yeah, we're known for our cute pencil cases and our share of Japanese erasers, but we never miss a detail when choosing the right mechanical pencils for our awesome customers.

Our collection of gold-detailed mechanical pencils are a favorite for our older customers. Even when Rilakkuma, Sentimental Circus, and other adorable designs wrap around the bodies of these pencils, the gold details still pop out as a great, elegant feature. Here are our top 5 picks that will make you want to go for gold.

1) Sentimental Circus 0.5 mm Mechanical Pencil 

Join Shappo and the rest of the Sentimental Circus as they put on a show like you've never seen. These once abandoned toys are now at your entertainment, even at school with the design's wraparound illustrations with rich, contrasting colors .

2) Crown Ballpoint Pens

Also available as an 0.5 mm Mechanical Pencil, this collection is fit for royalty. The advance button features a gold queen's crown -- a perfect gift for any queen in your life!

3) Timeless Memories 0.5 mm Mechanical Pencil

It's always a great idea to capture memories to look back on them in a couple of years. Let this mechanical pencil's body design serve as an inspiration for your scrapbook collages. You can't miss the pocket watch clip, complete with a chain that dangles from the advance button.

Plan Away: New 2013 Monthly Planners at Cool Pencil Case

We at the Cool Pencil Case office have something to admit: We're sticky note abusers. Close to every task is successfully completed with the help of sticky notes on our laptops, bulletin boards, and gel pen love notes on our left hands. 

So you can only imagine the looks on our faces once our new 2013 Monthly Planners came straight through the office door. From Sentimental Circus to Rilakkuma, all of the San-X cuteness we could handle is now available at Cool Pencil Case. With our cute monthly planners, all of our tasks are now written down in their appropriate days of the week! Sayonara, sticky notes!

One of our favorite monthly planners features none other than Rilakkuma. The plush cover features a sponge-like texture -- something we can resist! We don't suggest using to clean any dishes, though -- leave it in its protective cover to use all year long!

 

The plastic cover does a lot more than just protect this cute planner. Inside, you'll find an extra flap to hold your identification cards, library cards, and more. 

 

If you're a fan of Rilakkuma like the gals at Cool Pencil Case, we're sure you'll appreciate all the fun templates inside this monthly planner. With every turn of the page, you'll see that Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma are featured in their best themes. Rilakkuma Meets Honey? CHECK! Rilakkuma's Chocolate and Coffee? CHECK! Rilkakkuma in Paris? (our personal favorite) DOUBLE CHECK!

 

Another fun feature about this monthly planner (as well as the other five offered in our new arrivals section) are all of the quirky templates towards the end of the planner. Sure, there are room for scribbles and doodles in the note section -- but how often does a weekly planner include a reflexology chart maps of Japan's major subways? 


Head over to CoolPencilCase.com to see the rest of our 2013 monthly planners. Word on the street is that Sentimental Circus, Tarepanda, and Kerori also have a monthly planner dedicated to each of them!
