Since face-to-face classes started in November last year, how many pencils have you bought for your schoolkid?
If you are among those parents who have allotted "pencil funds" just because your little learners keep losing them in school, you're not alone.
On January 26, Iya Villania shared a photo of her firstborn son Primo, writing on what seems to be a workbook. "My Kuya," she wrote. In case you didn't know, Iya hasn't enrolled Primo in school. Here's why.
Zoom in, and you will see that Primo's name is engraved on his pencil! We think these engraved personalized pencils will solve every parent's dilemma of their children's missing pencils. Plus, it comes in boxes, so it will save you time labeling every pencil.

Wais mom Neri Miranda also recommends it. Her kids Pia and Miggy have it too.

A box of 12 Mongol 2B pencils is at P300 or P25 each, while a box of 12 XL pencils costs P350, or about P30 each.
Remember that you can only put one name per box of pencils.

Why use personalized pencils
Turns out, the owner of the online shop Hungry Hippo PH is a mom with a four-year-old son who just started school last year.
According to her, aside from being the solution to never losing our kids' pencils again, buying these pencils has other benefits!
Winchelle Sy told Smart Parenting what made her decide to offer personalized pencils in her shop. "My son was not so interested in writing. Surprisingly, when he saw that his name is on the pencil, he was amazed and became more enthusiastic to doodle and write!"
She added, "It also helped him spell and write his name faster."
When they offered it on sale, they received an overwhelming response from parents. It seems like there are a lot of parents who have kids who lose their pencils in school because as Winchelle said, "We still can't believe we reached order for batch 10 in less a year."
