For those who tend to leave their pens and pencils everywhere and then can‘t find them! A base for your pencil, where it should always live and rest when not in use. An additional help is when the pencil is colored. Beautiful blue or dark green. Easily identified as YOURS and found. The base is not really just for the pencil and can be a bit wobbly. Perhaps better for the pen. But as I said: easier to find as it gets put back in its place!
