Make sure that your time spent with books and documents is as pleasant as that with nice food like Sushi. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Honestly, I would prefer to look for a scissor even though the V Cut cellotape is indeed a good design that ensures an easier usage than regular cellotapes. As all the V cuts are designed in the same place, you cannot tear out smaller than one roll length and that no doubt results to waste. So my suggestion is: always take along a scissor or forgive yourself wasting the tapes. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Here’s an idea I love most, the Lollipop Pencils! Using a lollipop to take the place of regular erasers, the new pencil is quite safe for eating so that mothers no longer have to worry about kids chewing on their pencils. Think that sounds sweet? But the only problem you need to know is that you cannot directly put them down onto the tables unless you’ve finished the lollipop. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Who could find his/her markers in the possible shortest time? Our answer is Doron Livne, the designer of the Upstanding Retractable Markers. Similar to Weeble Wobbles, these markers can stand up on their own or struggle to make themselves upright so that you would never have to look for a pen in a hurry. Besides, the sketch marker also has a retractable nib, which reduced the chances of leaking nibs. But can such a marker last long as it doesn’t have a cap? [Read the rest of this entry...]

It’ll be the smartest tool in your pencil boxes. To draw straight lines, locate the “Constrained Ball” at the tip of the pen, move the drawing aid and then done! So with this writing tool, everybody can draw straight lines without the help of a ruler. But that’s not all, as the tool is also equipped with a measuring wheel that allows the users to draw desired line length in three directions—horizontal, vertical and 45-degree angle.

When we were still a child, we used to put the maple leaves or ginkgo leaves between pages of a book and they were possibly the first kind of bookmarks we’ve ever met. Today, Korean designer Sangwoo Nam is still using leaves as bookmarks. However, they’re not real ones from trees, but simply feature the same shapes and colors of leaves. Even so, these artificial leaves are indeed beautiful and vivid, giving us aesthetic satisfaction. [Read the rest of this entry...]

For all those who are used to keeping their documents neat with a paperclip but feel bad about seeing the clips spill out on the table, designers have created a beautifully cute magnet holder. The colorful paper clips can cling to the magnets to create a pedal, and the stems are bendable so that you can change the flower into different shapes. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Only the God knows how much I needed the Safety Cutter—I’ve had more than three finger-cuts on my left thumb, even though I tried to use the knives as carefully as possible. But the Safety Cutter will take care of your fingers. It features a knife that is attached to a ruler, which not only helps you to cut the sheet effectively, but protects your fingers at the same time. Apparently the Safety Cutter wouldn’t change my past, but it surely will change your future. [Read the rest of this entry...]

When arguing about the must-haves in the office, we found that most people voted for coffee and memo pads—a cup of black coffee can refresh you and the memo will always remind you of the important affairs. So maybe inspired by the above findings, Sung Hyeop Seo combined coffee cup and memo pad together, creating the interesting Take-out Memo. As for the straw inside the cup, well, it’s actually a pen. [Read the rest of this entry...]

A ring that features a mini book to record your sweet time. Or a book that comes with a small ring to create the easiest-to-carry memo pad. Whatever the item means to you, it’s obviously the thing that makes everybody smile. Yaps, we love the idea. [Read the rest of this entry...]

At first glance, the Re-Knife Pencil Knife seems like a terrible idea, featuring something that we seldom use. But you may still need it in certain conditions. The idea is that, with the stone on the pencil, you’d easily have a knife sharpened to make it serve longer. [Read the rest of this entry...]

At the first glance, Five Pointed Eraser seems like a terrible idea, bringing needless complexity to something that is so simple: erasing the errors. But to those who want their work to always look sharp, that’s a useful gadget. It features five different heads (respectively measures 1mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm wide), rubbing out merely the errors while nothing else. And most important, the eraser won’t quickly become useless for its purpose as most people might have thought, because the worn-down erasing heads could be detached to expose sharp new heads. Scheduled to be released on May 13th, the Five Pointed Eraser will soon hit the stationery market. [Read the rest of this entry...]

May it have you feel disappointed or not, I’d still like to declare that the ‘Sprout’ Pen is merely a concept from Igor Lobanov before we start the topic. But it’s really a refreshing idea, featuring a housed plant in the bulk. The containment plant lives on the ink, which means you will see the plant inflate and change color from yellow to vibrate green as the pen sits in the inkwell and takes in the ink.

Can crayons be used for any other purposes? My answer is: taking them as food and eating them up…provided that what we’re arguing about are the Luxirare Edible Crayons. They’re made from the powder of real food, such as the nuts, fruits, dried vegetables, seeds and so on. Yups, they’re 100% edible and especially perfect for kids who often bite their crayons!

You’ll find it difficult to hold the pencils as they become shorter and shorter. So what will you do with them? Throw them away? Well, other guys prefer to connect two short pencils together with a short tube and then use them as a long pencil. Though most students have already though of that and done that, it is Hoyoung Lee, Youngwoo Park and Jinyoung Park that make the wonderful idea a product- the 1+1=1 Pencil Connector. As a result, you could reuse stubby pencils by changing them into a longer one. Nice concept. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Hmmmm…Have you had any similar experiences before? Perhaps we were all him (the person in the pictures) at one juncture in our lives, I mean, we used to forget the rulers and had to look for something flat, a book for example, to use it as a ruler. Then the Ruler Pen by ShiKai Tseng will be a great help to careless students like you and me. So next time you forget to bring a ruler, just take out a pen cap and use it as a ruler. That’s so easy!
