Zebra #2 Mechanical Pencil

Zebra #2 Mechanical Pencil permalink

Zebra’s #2 Mechanical Pencil couples the precision and ease of a mechanical pencil with the timeless style of an old school #2. Factor in the real wood casing and full sized pink rubber eraser, and stationary nerds, even the closeted ones, are close to clawing each other’s eyes out.

Boxed Water is Better permalink

Our friends laugh at us when we buy the boxed-wine, but good things do come in cardboard rectangles (Juicy Juice, anyone?). Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Boxed Water is Better is an environmentally-friendlier alternative that’s shipped flat, and while it’s not as good as just drinking tap, it’s a step in the right direction.

Slanties permalink

The slogan of Baltimore-based Slanties is “Not so bad, once you get used to it.” Based off the design of ancient Inuit eyewear, they are supposed to protect your eyes from the sun and, if cared for properly, will last for 800 years.
