Novelty Stocking Stuffer

Santa usually leaves a few novelty item stocking stuffers for me, and this recent Christmas was no exception. Included this time was a pencil sharpener - Geppetto's Pencil Sharpener - Made in China but the brainchild of Israeli design studio Monkey Business.
Package, pencil + point protector, and Geppetto.

The weighted base keeps Geppetto smily face up, even with a long nose.

The sharpener works well, although the blade does not appear to be replaceable.



Also in the stocking, not pencil related.... but then again, perhaps it's a little something to help contemplation on future pencil acquisitions?

I wonder why they didn't call the sharpener Pinocchio. Maybe that name was already registered as a trademark...

Very clever! And the sharpener isn't bad either.

Do you have Pilot Rocky 2020 ?

Caution, sharpening in Geppetto will damage the Rocky 2020!
