Description
These erasable gel pens come as a set of four, each topped with a little animal face: a bear, a panda, a cat and a pig. The animal sits on the cap, with two round ears and a simple face, and the barrel beneath it matches it in colour: slate grey for the bear, white for the panda, pale grey for the cat and soft pink for the pig. Each pen writes in blue ink through an extra fine point and measures 14.8cm long and 1.4cm across at its widest.
Because the ink is erasable, we find these pens suit the jobs where mistakes happen: notes, to-do lists, planners, diaries, journals and crosswords. Turn the pen round and the rounded white tip at the end rubs out what you have written, so a wrong date or a misspelt word need not mean crossing out. The extra fine point keeps handwriting neat in small spaces, such as the narrow lines of a diary or the squares of a planner. They tuck easily into a pencil case or a desk pot, and the four faces make a cheerful row on a desk at home or at work.
Each pen is made of plastic with a metal writing tip, and the barrel has a ribbed grip near the point for a steady hold. The animal cap pulls off to write and pushes back on afterwards, which protects the fine tip in a bag or pencil case. As general good practice, put the cap back on after each use and wipe the barrels with a damp cloth if they pick up marks. When rubbing out, we suggest trying it on a corner of the paper first. The set comes in a lilac box with a little window, printed with smiling suns, clouds and rainbows, so it is ready to give as a small gift or to keep for yourself.
