Deals & Drops: We Have Pencils!

Before the New Year, I placed a restock order on pencils, to ensure that pencil enthusiasts still have an easy option for purchasing the high-end graphite that they love, particularly from Caran d’Ache. Included in the restock were the Caran d’Ache Edelweiss 3B, which sold out nearly immediately the last time I had them. I have plenty this time around. I also received more Swiss Woods, Midori MD pencils in both graphite and color, and the Caran d’Ache Bicolor pencils that I love so much for annotation. Happy shopping!

1. Caran d’Ache Swiss Wood Gift Set. Looking to try out the Caran d’Ache Swiss Wood, or to give a gift to someone who you think might enjoy it? This gift set has three pencils, a sharpener, and an eraser. Swiss Woods are also available individually and in packs of ten.

2. Crayons de la Maison Caran d’Ache. We have one or two luxury Caran d’Ache gift sets in stock, featuring four high-quality CdA pencils in exotic wood finishes.

3. Caran d’Ache Edelweiss 3B Pencils. The last time I had these pencils in stock, they sold out almost immediately. I recently received a ton of them, and have them available both individually and by the dozen.

4. Tombow 2558 Pencils. Probably my personal favorite for a standard yellow No. 2 pencil (though it has almost an orange hue), the Tombow 2558 also features an impeccable eraser.

5. Mitsubishi 9850 Office Pencil. With their dark burgundy finish and white eraser, this is simply one of the best-looking standard No. 2 pencils that I’ve seen, with a smooth and relatively dark core.

6. Midori MD Pencils. Do you enjoy the Midori MD aesthetic? We do! Checkout this set of matching eraserless pencils in dark “B” grade graphite, featuring the signature cream Midori MD finish.

7. Midori MD Color Pencils. Do you like to journal or take notes in color? Midori also makes a set of color pencils in light blue, grey, and orange.

8. M+R Brass Sharpeners. In my opinion, German manufacturer M+R makes the best handheld brass sharpener on the market, and the best part is that you can purchase replacement blades for all of them, including the more expensive long-point Castor and Pollux.

9. Caran d’Ache Bicolor Highlighter/Graphite Pencils. These dual highlighter/graphite pencils from Caran d’Ache form a core part of my workflow, whether I’m reading for work purposes or my own enjoyment.

10. Caran d’Ache Bicolor Red/Graphite Pencils. Similarly, I always have a couple of these red/graphite pencils sharpened up for annotation purposes. We sell both these and the Highlighter version individually or by the dozen.
