These unusual pencil holders are definitely not run-of-the-mill office supplies. Whether you're an aspiring artist or a business professional, it is important to have a workspace that fosters out-of-the-box thinking and creative ideas, and these office supplies certainly help.
The design of these vessels range from playful LEGO-shaped heads to dangerous-looking gun-shaped vessels. While some of these designs are made into novelty shapes, others use the addition of writing utensils to complete their design. For example, adding pencil crayons to 'Kamina&C's' peacock-shaped pencil holder creates the colorful plumage of the distinctive bird.
Whether you're looking for a brilliant storage solution or just a way to brighten your day, these peculiar pencil holders are sure to keep inspiration at your fingertips.
