School is in session and by now you are polishing up on your writing skills.  

At Octane, we appreciate quality writing utensils. 

We know the odd satisfaction when your ink pen glides seamlessly across the paper making your penmanship pop. 

The smell, sound, and feel of a good pen are the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) for us writing, sketching, designing, doodling geeks. Almost titillating.  If you know, you know. 

We also know the frustration of a spotty, jagged pen that makes you want to throw it across the room.

Let’s make life easier and invest in nice affordable ink pens, cute pencil pouches, and quality highlighters to write and study the right way this school year. 

We at Octane did a little research and found a few splurge-worthy items to make your shopping experience easy. We also geeked out from the thought of a full pencil pouch with all the things! 

You can order your items from these Amazon (affiliate) links and have your order shipped to your home.

You won’t regret these $10-$20 investments. 

We want to know what’s your favorite ink pens and highlighters. Drop your favorite brands in the comments.
