... Read moreHey Lemon8 fam! You know how much I love a good Dollar Tree find, and let me tell you, I hit the jackpot today! I've been seeing these 'Journaling by Inc. Prism Retractable Gel Pens' blowing up all over social media, constantly selling out, so when I spotted a full shelf at my local Dollar Tree, I literally gasped. You know the ones – the 'viral pens' everyone's talking about!
For just $1.25, you get a pack of two retractable gel pens, which is an absolute steal. I managed to snag packs in light blue, light purple, and pink – my favorite shades for adding a pop of color to my journal spreads. What instantly caught my eye, besides the vibrant colors, was the promise of a 'comfort grip.' As someone who spends hours journaling and making notes, a comfortable pen is a non-negotiable. And let me tell you, these pens deliver! The grip feels really nice in hand, making them perfect for long writing sessions without any hand fatigue.
The ink itself is black, which I actually prefer for most of my journaling, even if the pen barrel is colored. It’s a smooth, consistent gel ink that glides effortlessly across the page. No skipping, no blobbing – just clean lines. I've used them for daily journaling, doodling in my planner, and even quick notes for work, and they’ve performed beautifully. For the price point, the quality seriously impressed me. They feel much more expensive than they are, which is probably why they've gone viral!
Now, let's talk about why these are a total must-have, especially if you're into journaling, school, or just love a good pen. Firstly, the affordability is unmatched. Where else can you get two quality gel pens with comfort grips for this price? Secondly, the retractable design is super convenient – no more lost caps! And thirdly, the color variety (even if it's just the barrel) makes them fun to collect and organize. I'm already planning to go back and see if they have any other colors I missed.
A little tip for finding them: Dollar Tree stock can be really unpredictable, especially for viral items. My best advice is to check frequently and maybe even ask a store associate if they know when new shipments arrive. Sometimes they're stocked near the stationery, other times near the craft supplies. Don't give up if you don't see them right away – the hunt is part of the fun!
These Prism Retractable Gel Pens from Journaling by Inc. are definitely a winner in my book. They prove that you don't need to spend a fortune to get great writing tools. If you spot them, grab them! You won't regret adding these smooth-writing, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing pens to your collection. Happy journaling, everyone!
