Hightide Penco Bullet Ballpoint Pen Light - Red was £12

Don’t be misled by its playful appearance — the Penco Bullet Ballpoint Pen Light is a seriously well-designed writing tool. Made in Japan, this compact little number is crafted for those who need a pen that slips neatly into any pocket or pencil case, without compromising on performance. With oil-based black ink and a satisfyingly smooth glide, it’s always ready to jot, doodle, or dash off that grocery list you’ve forgotten thrice. The sturdy ABS resin body comes in 12 cheerful colours — mix and match lids, if you fancy being a bit of a maverick.
