Publisher's Description of Smencils 5-pack
The Smencils 5 Pack includes 5 of our scented pencils that are made from 100% recycled newspapers. Each Smencil is a No.2 pencil and packaged in its own recyclable plastic freshness tube that includes a collectible character top cap! You will receive one each of the 5 scents.
These standard-size graphite pencils are not only made from 100% recycled newspaper but also feature fun scents that last up to two years! These "scent-sational" alternatives to wooden pencils have been a huge hit around our office. And we're happy to announce that the individual pencils are once again available... and there are even more scents to choose from! 10-Packs of regular pencil and colored pencils (colors match the scents) and a Holiday Scent 5-Pack are also available if you can't decide on one! Even if you love that "freshly sharpened" wood and graphite smell, Smencils bring a fresh and fun novelty to using a regular ol' pencil!
