Description
These egg pens come as a set of six. Each is a smooth little plastic egg with a cream top, a coloured base and a small face printed in black on the front. Every face has its own mood: one winks, one blows a kiss with a tiny heart, one pokes out its tongue, one looks surprised with a round open mouth, and the rest smile with closed or sparkling eyes. The six colours are pink, orange, yellow, green, light blue and purple, so the set sits together like a little rainbow. Each pen is about 3.5cm long and 2.5cm across, small enough to hold between finger and thumb.
We think they earn their place on a desk, a bedside table or a shelf in the study, where they look as cheerful standing in a row as they do in use. They suit quick notes, doodles in the margin of a notebook, decorating a card or colour coding a planner. Because each one is so small, the whole set tucks into a pencil case, a bag pocket or a desk drawer without taking up room. As a small present they raise a smile before the top even comes off.
Each pen is made in two parts from plastic. The cream top, with its face, lifts off the coloured base to show a short pointed tip, and pushes back on when you are done, so the egg shape returns and the tip stays covered. Putting the top back on straight after use is good practice with any pen, as it helps keep the tip from drying out. The plastic wipes clean with a soft damp cloth. Line them up on a shelf in rainbow order, stand one in each corner of the desk, or drop the set into a gift bag with a notebook for a cheerful bundle.

Frequently Asked
How big is each egg pen?
Each pen is about 3.5cm long and 2.5cm across, so it sits comfortably in the hand and fits easily in a pencil case or bag pocket.
What colours come in the set?
You get six pens in pink, orange, yellow, green, light blue and purple. Each has a cream top printed with its own little black face.
How do the egg pens open?
Each egg comes apart in two halves. The cream top lifts off the coloured base to show the pen tip, then pushes back on to cover it again.
What are the pens made of?
The pens are made of plastic and contain ink. They are light little eggs that are easy to keep tidy with a soft damp cloth.
Do the pens stand up on their own?
Yes. The rounded coloured base lets each egg stand upright, so the set can line up on a desk or shelf when it is not in use.
How should I look after them?
Push the top firmly back on after each use, as with any pen, to help keep the tip from drying out, and wipe the plastic with a soft damp cloth.
