As a self-confessed stationery nerd and a popular culture addict, POPCULT pencils are pretty much my favourite thing ever. Yup. Ever. Hand-stamped in Glasgow, they add a touch of whimsy and a healthy dose of humour to your pencil case, and at £3.50 for a set of three, the hardest part is choosing which to buy.
These are the perfect stocking filler (hey, it’s September – accept it) for the blogger in your life. Honest to blog.
Or maybe these for the IT guy/gal. I love The IT Crowd, but somehow at work I am the Jenn. I have no idea about IT but it’s become part of my job. Err.. have you tried turning it off and on again?
I bought The Princess Bride set for David as he’s a big fan of the film. I would have preferred “Prepare to die” over “Rodents of unusual size” but there’s so many good lines in that film it’s hard to be fussy.
Lastly, these feeding my Ru Paul’s Drag Race obsession. Okaaayyy?!
POPCULT sells on Etsy and also via the fabulous LA LA LAND website. You can also get customised sets with your own quotes. Here are some ideas:
Easy A: SOMEONE’S ON A DOWNWARD SPIRAL; OOH, BURN; A IS FOR AWESOME
Shaun of the Dead: YOU GOT RED ON YOU; WANT ANYTHING FROM THE SHOP?; IT’S 4 IN THE FUCKING MORNING!
Hot Fuzz: THE GREATER GOOD; FUCK OFF UP THE MODEL VILLAGE; IT’S NOT MURDER, IT’S KETCHUP
Still Game: CAN YE SEE ME NOO?; GET IT RIGHT ROOND YE; LOOK WHO IT ISNAE!
Tropic Thunder: A NUTLESS MONKEY COULD DO YOUR JOB; NEVER GO FULL RETARD; SUCK MY UNIT
Hah, think it’s time for a Tropic Thunder re-watch. What would you get on yours?
I know someone who would love the Princess Bride ones very much – agree though that ‘Prepare to Die’ would be better,…
Oh my gosh these are amazing! I really want the IT Crowd ones or the RuPaul ones!
Shante, YOU stay!
Just saw this!!!! Thanks so much for such a lovely write-up! Totally missed a potential Still Game merch tie-in with their recent shows! Gaaahhhh!
It’s not too late, there’s always the DVD release for Christmas!
