The pencil is literally IN the notebook!*

We love cool-looking products. And you can't really blame us, can you? We've found some amazingly cute, clever, snarky, and nostalgic designs over the years. So, when we came across these fun, useful, and perspective-bending designs, we screamed, "Buy, buy, buy!"

Hidden Pencil Notebooks feature a pencil-sized trench in the front cover designed for storing your pencil. Brilliant!

*We can't help but beam with pride when we use the word "literally" appropriately.

You've gotta write down those lyrics somewhere, right?

Putting pencil to paper is oftentimes the best way to release your creativity. Sure, my phone can transcribe my words or mimic my scribbles, but none of that technology compares to the physical act provided by a notebook and pencil.

Don't get us wrong; we love the latest technology! (Heck, we make our living selling stuff over the Internet). But some things, such as a notebook and pencil, seem to never go out of style.

The Hidden Pencil Notebook features 144 pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What kind of pencil is it?

Answer: Both the yellow and colored pencils are standard #2 (HB) pencils with a gray graphite core. Both styles feature erasers.

Question: As the pencil gets shorter from sharpening, will it still fit?

Answer: Yes. The pencil stays due to the friction of the channel being slightly thinner than the width of the pencil. The length of the pencil doesn't affect that.

Question: What does trompe-l'oeil mean? Is that some sort of Frenchy French Grey Poupon nonsense?

Answer: Oh dear. Well, yes, it is a French phrase (meaning "deceive the eye"), but the artistic technique to which it refers dates back to antiquity. One says that imagery is trompe l'oeil when the piece attempts to fool the observer into believing that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions.

Question: Can I specify the color of the pencil in the colored pencil style?

Answer: No. The color is random. However, it will be a bright color chosen from the colors featured on the cover artwork. Please note that the pencils for all styles feature a standard gray graphite core.
