Cool Pencils for back to school: Not No. 2
Of course we are all guilty in today's society of overpraising our children; everyone gets a trophy right? Yeah, not in my world. However, there is nothing wrong with a little extra parental encouragement. So, as I am starting to assemble the back to school shopping goodies, I came across these cool pencils that double as a clever "you can do it!" back to school goodie, and just could not resist. This update on the classic No.2 pencil reads Not No. 2.... Always No. 1, and is just straight up smile inducing. These cool pencils are a perfect addition to the pencil box that can be just as endearing as a printable lunch note from mom in the lunch box and honestly, less embarrassing.
