Personalised Pencils

[SoupDragon]

I'm trying to find somewhere to buy personalised pencils from for when DS1 starts school (sob!) This is more to satisfy my need to buy him things than anything else. I've found some at the Great Little Trading Company - anyone know of anywhere else?

was going to say there!

are the ones at gltc not to your liking? don't they all look the same?

Must be cost? are they expensive?

This guy on ebay has a set for £3.99, but its only coloured, maybe he does ordinary as well if you email him.

Letterbox do them too.

www.able-labels.co.uk have 12 for £4.99 - either 12 coloured pencils or 12 ordinairy pencils. I didn't check what they charge for p&p.

I just like to have looked at a couple of places before making my mind up

Do you want complete name (first name and surname) or just first name as our local Safeway has a good selection of stuff including pencils if it is just first name you are looking for.
Do you have to supply his own pencils then? - unusual for an infants school.

No idea if he actually needs them, I just want to buy him some! He can always use them for "homework". I was aiming to get 1st name & surname.

I got a catalogue from Studio cards the other day, they had them half price (£2.99 or £2.49, can't remember) I threw it away though but I wonder if they have a website?

And they do assortments - all coloured, all graphite or a mixture. I shall go off and google.

Er - no good - found Webb Ivory (same thing) but you need a catalogue to order - sorry!

try www.bakerross.co.uk, they probably have them too.

I bought the personalized pencils/pens from the GLTC that come in a soft pencil case for my stepkids for xmas last year. I ordered them several months before xmas and they only took a few weeks. They looked great and the kids loved them.

I've just ordered the ones from Letterbox, ordinary ones in a box and lots of coloured ones. I'm thinking of ordering some form yself too - do you think they can put "I am a person, not just a Mummy" on them?
