I got these for my niece who already has these. She loves these as you are. Now able to take the tops and use them for other pencils. She wouldn’t use the other ones as she didn’t want to throw them away when the pencils got tooo short. Now she uses them all the time. She gets tons of compliments every time she uses them. She is also getting some for her son’s class as a end of year gift for all the girls. Highly recommend this for everyone and strongly suggest that if you’re thinking of getting them do it. You won’t regret it.
