Looking over this post, I can’t tell if this is a shopping blog or a pen blog. I guess it’s a good thing I mention in a couple of places that this is mostly going to be about random things.
Somtime, somehow, I happened to look at a couple of pen and office supply sites: OfficeSupplyGeek and PenAddict . I honestly cannot remember how I heard of them. Probably from a fellow pen freak. Since discovering these sites, I have placed a number of orders through Jet Pens [Thanks a lot, guys!]. This happens to be the order before my last one. I was hoping to review some of these pens, but school, work, and sleep are kind of getting in the way. take precedence over my odd obsessions.
In case you’re wondering what kind of goodies are in this order, here you go:
Kokuyo NeoCritz Transformer Pencil Case – Blue
Pilot Hi-Tec-C Gel Ink Pen – 0.4 mm – Nature Colors – Lavender
Pentel Slicci Gel Ink Pen – 0.4 mm – Purple Ink
Zebra Sarasa Push Clip Gel Ink Pen – 0.4 mm – Light Green
Zebra Sarasa Push Clip Gel Ink Pen – 0.4 mm – Pale Blue
Zebra Sarasa Push Clip Gel Ink Pen – 0.4 mm – Blue Black
Zebra Sarasa Gel Ink Pen – 0.4 mm – Green Black
Pentel Slicci Gel Ink Multi Pen Ink Cartridge – 0.4 mm – Milk Blue

LOVE jetpens ! I live in Australia & it’s really difficult to find these sorts of brands here. Good choices ^^ I bought a transformer case too but in grey/orange.

Jetpens is such a bad habit that’s hard to break! I think I have ordered 3 pencil cases from them. Two of them are in pictures on my blog. The other I just got in this week. A Neocritz campus, I think it’s called? But yes, I have a love/hate relationship with them =)

Jetpens – I love it too and it is just what I need to satisfy my pen addiction. It looks like you have a similar taste in pens that I have – the Slicci, Hi-Tec-C, and Zebra Sarasa are some of my favourites.

Hi Heather! Those are all great pens =) One thing I’ve noticed about the Sarasas, though, is that sometimes the line skips. The Sarasa Clips, however, write a smooth line. And you know what? I love the Slicci multi-pen =) One of THE best pens I have used!

Oof! I know this feeling really well. Thanks for your pictures of the pen cases. Sometimes it helps the shopper to see them “in real life”!
I saw your Olive Hi-Tec-C and was worried you had purchased the Muscat color! Hopefully the Olive is darker because the Muscat one is so light it’s impossible to read. I think I even posted a review on the site about that one. If you get a chance to share pictures of how it writes I’d love to see it!

Hi Kim =) I think it was actually your Muscat review and Pen Addict’s review that deterred that purchase. The Olive color is very visible, even at .4mm. I’ll try to get a review up on this pen sometime this week. Thanks for stopping by, even if my blog gathers cobwebs now and then =)

How are you liking the Capara pencilcase? I just got mine (I ordered two! One like yours and the other in dark blue). I think it is an awesome pencil case, being so functional yet very pretty to look at. I especially like the bottom pocket so my rubber eraser, staple bullets and Post-It notes and flags don’t crowd the main compartment. I’m a (not so young) teacher but I just love staitonery and I’m glad my occupation justifies my craze for all this cuteness!
