Writing Supplies Deals

Writing supply deals for desks and backpacks

Here you'll find writing supplies for notes, homework and office paperwork. Ballpoint and gel pens, pencils, markers, highlighters, erasers and sharpeners come in packs of all sizes, so busy households and classrooms can keep a full pencil cup through the whole semester.

Writing supplies: pens, pencils and paper for school or work

• Gel pens write smoothly in bold colors, while ballpoints dry faster and smudge less for left-handed writers.
• Mechanical pencils keep a sharp point, so note the lead size, such as 0.5 or 0.7 millimeters, and buy matching refills.
• Paper weight and ruling in notebooks matter, since thin paper can let gel and fountain pen ink bleed through.
• Erasable pens and soft erasers help students who revise often, so make sure erasing does not tear the paper.

Which suits you: Students taking lots of notes get the most from bulk packs of ballpoints and mechanical pencils, while journalers and planners may prefer gel pens and heavier paper.
