What do you think about a product that will save more than 70,000 trees by recycling just ONE run of the Sunday New York Times newspaper? Sounds pretty good to me! I bet you wouldn’t guess that the product is a better pencil. That’s right! In fact, 170,000 Smencils can be made from less than 500 recycled newspapers. Compare that to the good ole #2 yellow pencil. An entire cedar tree must be chopped down and cut up to make those same 170,000 pencils. It is a no-brainer that recycling newspapers that would have probably ended up in a landfill anyways is a much better idea.
A company that devoted to recycling wouldn’t skimp on rest of the product and packaging would they? Of course not! Smencils are shipped in corn-based plastic containers that are biodegradable as well. Even the erasers can be recycled.
Are you convinced yet that Smencils are worth the switch from the old style of pencil? No? Then listen to this: A Smencil is soaked in delicious fragrances that kids adore! The intense scent permeates the entire pencil and is a pleasure to use. In fact, kids love to use them to write and draw. It is these fragrances that make a Smencil a truly wonderful “Smelly Pencil!”
Beyond the ten standard flavors, there are ones released for Valentine’s Day and a series of flavors released around the holidays. Don’t worry about making “the right” choice as they all smell wonderful and kids will love to try out new ones!
The fun does not stop there! Many people do not use pencils anymore, but they are in luck! The same process is used to make Smens. “Smelly Pens” come in flavors like Mocha, Aloha, Creamsicle, Ninja Berry, Red Licorice, Passion Fruit, Mystery Scent, Black Licorice, Pink Lemonade, and Banana Fo Fana. Smens have completely different smells than Smencils but will be just as entertaining!
Think about what great gifts these make. They are extremely popular, creative and fun! How many times throughout the year do you need a small gift or token of appreciation for someone. Smencils and Smens will make a perfect gift!
