We usually have pens, but we usually don’t have (40) packs of Paper Mate® Inkjoy pens in various colors all contained in a sort of tall, plastic peanut butter-type jar with a screwcap. These are long-lasting ballpoints with 1.0mm tips and caps with pocket clips. You’ll get (4) pens each in black, brown, blue, red, magenta, purple, green, lime green, turquoise and orange.

Once upon a schoolmarm, chalk was the medium of choice for illustrating lessons. “Chalk talks,” remember? (OK, ask your grannie.) Return with us to those pre-Ted, pre-Power Point, pre-dry erase days and get this pack of a dozen 3/8” dia x 3-1/8” long sticks of soft, low dust, “premium ivory” chalk (although the manufacturer chose to call this shade "ivory" we think it is more of a yellowish hue, but hey, color names are pretty arbitrary, right? Lookin' at you Taupe). It is however a pretty and highly visible color on a blackboard.

Also Resaltodores. Highlighters in English, but they’re also marked in French and Spanish, so it’s OK to highlight all three languages with them. Our each is a 4-pack of Promarx 5-1/2” wedge-tip highlighter markers in yellow, orange, magenta and purple, with pocket clips. (Clips de poche. Clips de bolsillo.)

Genuine, original, accept-no-substitutes brand-name Sharpie®s for when you really mean it and want a permanent marker. You pick the fine point red or blue, or the blue with a 3/16” bullet tip.

You'll never lose your chance to highlight something when you hang your highlighter around your neck. These have a 3/16" wedge tip (every true highlighter's choice), and come with a pocket clip and a detachable 18" lanyard. You pick yellow or pink. Bonus! This is a great price for a lanyard!
