I you're getting bored using the same old generic pens from Staples you should really give the Sprout Pen a try. Though it may look as if there is a living plant contained within your writing implement, it is just a simple illusion--well, maybe not that simple.
Designed by Igor Lobanov, the Sprout Pen houses a containment plant which swells up as it receives more ink. When it has taken as much ink as it can hold, the plant inside the Sprout Pen turns from a yellowish color to a more natural green.
