Named pencils for school - where is best/cheapest to buy?

[EldonAve]

Eldest now needs pencils & pens for school - named or they get lost

Any recommendations?

I always go to www.24studio.co.uk but I've not actually compared their prices in years so there might be somewhere cheaper now.

I got some on ebay and have some from studio as well

Write name on pencil with a permanent marker?

Just a word of warning - they will still get lost! The heartache we have had with the DDs when some go missing - totally out of proportion to the situation but understandable. Dont mean to be the voice of doom!

I agree - dd has lost loads to her 'friends' whereas ds seems to guard his better

dont - they just lose them
do shcool not provide?

school must provide some but they are expected to have a set iyswim
