Smencils
A few years ago, my best friend from London sent me an odd set of
pencils. They were made from 100% recycled newspaper and individually
packaged in biodegradable plastic tubes. These pencils were actually Smencils,
each posessing a different gourmet scent. I usually melt over writing
supplies, but I have to admit I put these in the back of the drawer. Who
needs a pencil in a tube? I already had my collection of Mr. Sketch
markers when I needed a whiff of something new.Then one day I couldn’t find a sharpened pencil and remembered the
Smencils. Presharpened, I excitedly took one out of the tube. Cotton
candy. Yum. It brought me back to the joys of a recent baseball game.
I’ve been hooked ever since.This holiday, I discovered that Smencils come in a variety of holiday
flavors too - gingerbread, candy cane, sugar plum, cinna-what, and
holiday cheer. Although I sniffed them when they first came out in
November, I haven’t been able to get my hands on my own set. I’m hoping
Santa might find a way to sneak some into my stocking this year. There’s
something wonderful about the idea of smelling gingerbread while I
brainstorm during the upcoming year. It might extend the joy of the
holiday season at least a little bit into January.
