500 Pencils

Why is it that when I am super broke, or saving for something really important, I see something awesome but completely non-essential and then am consumed by it, until it is mine?

Case in point: 500 Pencils from Social Designer


A subscription to receive the above set of 500 pencils in sets of 25 per month for 20 months. You can even buy (or subscribe to) the awesome display cases above and below, and display them like art. Awe. Some.


I am only mildly less excited about these pencils as a 27 year old that I would have been 20 years ago.

Some things just never go out of style.

PS: No I haven't succumbed... yet. Let me know if you do!
