Review: @CoolPencilCase Sentimental Circus Bookmark Clips - Shappo

Oh yeah, just some more cute stuff. Cool Pencil Case sent one of these adorable Sentimental Circus Bookmark Clips of Shappo for me to review. Thanks!

This bookmark clip is about 4.5" long so it is pretty big in hand! At least in my hand anyway. It is a soft vinyl material so it's malleable and easy to clean. The paper clip is coated so it doesn't snag on paper and tear it. It'll be easy to spot in your books or notebooks, which is a nice thing. You can use the clip to hold together papers, bookmark pages of a book, or just attach them on your bag because they're pretty adorable. 

I use mine to bookmark my journal. I hate flipping through my (many) journals to find what page I was on last. Therefore, that is Shappo's job!

There are four Sentimental Circus Bookmark Clips to choose from. If you have some semblance of self control, you could just pick one for $3.25USD.

Review: @CoolPencilCase Mamegoma Notepad Set + Mini Erasers

Um, if mini erasers didn't catch your attention already, perhaps the picture of them will get you.

Ok, sometimes you need a little piece of paper to scribble a note on to give to someone, or just to tuck into your pocket to remember something, or into your purse. Whatever the case is, sometimes you need to write something down. And sometimes you want something really cute to write it on.

TA-DA! In swoops the Mamegoma notepad set, accompanied by beyond-cute mini erasers that will probably make you gouge your right eyeball out. This little notepad set unfolds and opens up to reveal these adorable pads of paper, each different - some lined, some not. They are about 2.75 inches (70 mm) wide and 3.5 inches (90 mm) in length. There are six notepads and six tiny erasers.

Some of these sheets make a great tuck in for your pen pals as well! Or even an eraser, if you can part with one. 

Pick up a Mamegoma notepad set with mini erasers for $5.85USD. There are two sets - this one is the pink and white set.  

Review: @CoolPencilCase Sentimental Circus Tab Set

Oh, I'm sorry. Did you think I was done with cute things? NEVERRRRR!! This here is the Sentimental Circus Tab Set from Cool Pencil Case. Specifically, this is the "Behind The Curtains" set.

What exactly is this tab set? They are page markers or page flags, not unlike Post-Its, but if I do say, they are much cuter, aren't they? Each tab is approximately 2 inches (50 mm) long and .5 inch (15 mm) wide, so they aren't very large.
I use mine as page markers in my Filofax. They are small enough that they don't stick out too far and get destroyed (one of my most hated things is ragged page markers). The tab set itself is also small enough that it can fit into my Filofax so it's always at hand when I need it. Perfect. 

These are the perfect size for school - they'll tuck into your binder or pencil case. Although I'm pretty sure everyone you know will try to steal them. So be careful. 

Pick up one of each set of these Sentimental Circus Tab Sets for $4.25USD each!

Review: @CoolPencilCase Sentimental Circus Showtime Scented Eraser

It's hard to review something this ridiculously cute. Because you don't want to use it. So guess what? I DID NOT. That's right. So it's not really a review. It's more of an analysis of sorts... I have a totally valid reason for this. And that's because I have reviewed this very adorable and very similar eraser: Mamegoma Adventure Eraser + Mini Eraser.

Let me just present you with this adorable evidence and you can ask yourself: do I really care if it erases 100%? I will answer for you: no you do not. It is beyond adorable. So there.

This eraser comes in a sweet little sleeve decorated with Sentimental Circus characters. Inside, there is a tiny, tiny adorable mini eraser. I haven't quite figured out what it is yet but I have no desire to use it. I intend to store its perfection in my heart forever.

It's $4.25USD at CoolPencilCase. Get yourself one of each. 

@CoolPencilCase Mamegoma Friendship Stickers

Stickers. An associated addiction with pens. I might be a tiny bit insane about them. Just a tiny bit. But barely. And that's not even a half of them. Not even a third. Not even a quarter, really. Nevertheless, I added to my collection, after spending too much time on CoolPencilCase's new arrivals section.

These are the Mamegoma Friendship Stickers, in the "Snacks and Games" theme. They're just so cute. Pen pals can expect these on their letters... when I eventually bring myself to part with them. It'll happen, I promise.

I don't even know what they are, really. Tiny happy chubby ice cream plops? Seals? Coloured seals? I don't know. Want some for yourself? Yes you do. They're only $2.65USD. That's less than a Starbucks. They don't taste as good, but they're far cuter.

Review: @CoolPencilCase Lovable Animal Sticky Note Tabs - Strawberry Bunny

These adorable strawberry bunny lovable animal sticky note tabs are from CoolPencilCase! Possibly the home of all the cutest things ever.

They're small and sticky. And have happy little bunny faces and hands, holding strawberries. I'm not sure how much more I can describe this to you. They can be removed and reapplied a few times if you should wish, but they're not extremely sticky.

For $3.25, it's hard to say no to these. And there's other designs that are very, very hard to resist. They're just so cute. They're easy to pop into your pencil case - of which there are no shortage of at CoolPencilCase.Or your binders, folders, whatever you carry around - daily planner, maybe? Perfect for that. That's where mine are stored - in my Filofax.

No affiliate links, but I was provided these adorable sticky notes for review. I was not compensated monetarily. All opinions are my own.

EDC: Non Fountain Pen

No mailbox goodies today folks! (This hiatus is boring as heck.) Instead, I will show you my purse pencil case!

I like to keep pens on me. ... I guess that was an obvious statement. Sometimes I don't carry a fountain pen if I know my bag will be squished or tossed around a lot. Here's the wee pencil case that stays in my purse.

Kaweco Sketch Up Acrylic 5.6mm Pencil
Pilot Hi-Tec-C (in 0.4mm and 0.5mm), including one in a Render-K

Mailbox Goodies: Jackpot!

If you've been wondering where I was last week (which you probably weren't because I had posts scheduled and such), Kevin and I went to San Francisco. He was actually attending a training course for work, so I just tagged along. Why not, right? Although I hate leaving my kitties at home. I usually give them a big squeeze before I leave. But I miss them like crazy when I'm gone.
 
I visited Maido and spent a little while there scouring every inch of the place. Would you believe I only left with these few items? Okay, and then we went to the second Maido located in Kinokuniya. ... I didn't do too badly there either!

The stickers were $0.92. I couldn't say no.

Cute stamps!

I. Am. A HUGE. Sucker. Please don't judge me.

But while we were away, I received some other parcels too! Some ink...

I've been dying to try these for ages.

My Field Notes arrived! A Field Notes subscription is genius. Do it. 

YES. I love the green paper.

A delightful mixture of goods from CoolPencilCase!

HAHA! STICKERS! CATS! APPLE TREE!

Stop Those Pencil Case Diggers!

You know how people sometimes take your pencil case (or pencil cases...) and just go through them as though it's public property? And you're like ummm.... what are you doing? But how do you say that politely? Alas. CoolPencilCase has this awesome solution to this irritating, all-too-common problem.

Allow me to present the Triple Zipper Combination Lock Pencil Pouch!

We all need pencil cases with industrial locks. But this rather adorable lock is better than no lock, and the pencil case is a whopper.

It’s three zippers, one combination lock and zero ways for strangers to look through your pencil pouch.  Available in navy blue, brown, black, and gray, each of the three zippers hold together large compartments perfect for any student. Whether go to class equipped with crayons or a batch of artist pencils, organization is key. Each side compartment opens widthwise to hold approximately 20 pens. The center zipper opens the pencil case completely to reveal functional compartments for your most important school supplies. The left side features four elastic slots to fit 4-8 pens. Adjacent are two mesh compartments, perfect for storing ID cards, paper clips, small notepads. Since there’s so much to fit in this cool pencil case, make sure you make use of the included combination lock. Simply zip all the four zipper charms to one side of the pencil case, and secure the lock with your private, 3-digit combination.

Be still my heart.

Cool Pencil Case Loves

Since I have no life, I like to browse online and find things I don't need but...you know...still need. Like the following adorable articles from CoolPencilCase.

I like multi pens. I'm not sure why, since I am obsessive about having equal levels of ink for all colors, and not running out of one ink before another (very hard to do, might I add)...Nevertheless. CoolPencilCase has adorable multi pens that I must share with you.

Toma and Kuma 8-color retractable ballpoint lanyard pen - $4.25

Sweet Parfait 6-color lanyard ballpoint retractable pen - $4.25

This kind of counts as a multi pen, doesn't it? The colored crystal pocket crayon - $4.45

All these goodies need to be stored somewhere. This pencil case would do the job - the animal pals pencil case - $14.85

The Eiffel Tower butterfly pouch would be pretty awesome too - $22.45

Or to change it up - the Blossom Asian Roll pencil case - $18.85.

Last but not least, I have an obsession with stickers. I don't know where it came from or why I am so sticker-crazed, but I am. I'm a sucker for all sorts of stickers. But especially these:
Adorable Animal Stickers - Elephant - $2.25

I also love donuts, so naturally, I can't get these stickers out of my head. I would even sell my soul for them. Darling Bear Adventures Marshmallow Stickers - Delectable Bites set - $6.25

Le sigh. How do I pick?
