Holiday Smens Gourmet Scented Pens

Smens Original Gourmet Scented Pens

I was sent a 5 pack of Holiday Smens and they smell so delicious!  What’s even better is that they are made from 100% recycled newspaper and biodegradable plastic!  The newspaper is rolled into cylinders for the body of the pen and then they are hardened and soaked in yummy liquid scents.  The body of the pen is the part that is scented – not the ink.  I love it because that’s really all I can smell when I am using them.  It makes writing more enjoyable.  Non of the scents are too overpowering either – they just smell great!

“We roll sheets of recycled newspaper to form a cylinder that serves as the body of the pen.  Then the cylinders are hardened and soaked in our gourmet liquid scents.  Once they’re dry, we assemble the pens- including the pen cap that identifies the scent of each Smen.”  Source-bugreen.com

You can also purchase Smencils too which are the same thing except they are pencils!  Your kids would love the colored pencils!  Check out the video below (you will see the pencils but the pens are made basically the same way):

I love how Smens write.  I am very picky when it comes to pens and it’s hard to find ones that I really like.  Yeah I know – I’m weird.  I really haven’t had any problems with ink smearing and they always write evenly.  They are very comfortable to use too.  I think it has a lot to do with the way they are made and the newspaper body of the pen.  Since the pens themselves are scented, I love that they come in their own individual plastic tube to lock in the scent.  The scent is also long lasting too.  I absolutely love them – I think they are my new favorite pen!

What I love about this Reusable Shopping Bag is not only am I saving a bunch of usless plastic grocery bags going into the garbage, this bag is also made from organic cotton.  It’s 15 by 16.5 inches so it holds quite a bit.  I love the long handle because it makes it so easy to carry on my shoulder comfortably.  It’s really durable and it can carry a decent amount of weight.  The last time I used it, I had about 10 cans of veggies/soups and what-not.  I love the size and the way it’s made because it allows me to fold it up and it fits really well inside my purse for quick shopping trips.  It has other uses too.  My kids like to tote books and things with us when we go aomewhere so they don’t only have looking out the window to look forward to.
