Were you even living in the late 90s/00s if your pencil case wasn’t bursting with gel pens? Metallic ones, glitter ones, scented ones (that somehow smelt like chemicals but we loved them anyway) — they were the ultimate status symbol of the classroom.
Did they actually write properly? Rarely. Did they smudge all over your maths homework? Absolutely. But did that stop us from writing our entire diary entry in turquoise glitter ink? Never.
Gel pens weren’t just stationery — they were personality. Bonus points if you had the full set from Woolies or WHSmith.
🌟 Daisy’s Corner
“Oh babes, gel pens were chaos in stick form. One minute you’re serving rainbow glitter realness, the next you’re out of ink halfway through your crush’s name. Dry toast energy? No — DRY PEN energy. Iconic, unreliable, essential.”
