Love Twist-up eraser Best writing pencil
My daughter tried a pack for school and I picked up one to write in my calendar and loved it. I am a stay at home mom and this pencil is perfect for list making calendar stuff etc that at times does have to be erased.

paper mate mechanical pencils
I have several of these mechanical pencils. I am never without one. You always have extra lead with you. I have never had to replace an eracer yet but it will be really easy to do. Love the way they write. Comfortable to hold.
