Smell those Smencils!

You’ll never guess what we’ve been trying in our house – Smencils! Now I am guessing that your first reaction will be what the heck are Smencils? Well they are pencils which are made from 100% recycled newspapers and then soaked in various (mainly fruity) fragrances. Each Smencil comes in its own biodegradable tube which will keep it fresh for up to two years! The ones that we have been using are the newest additions to the range – the Robinsons Fruit Shoot Smencils. The fragrances are orange, tropical, apple, summer fruits and blackcurrant and apple. The RRP for this set of five is just £5.99 so they would make a brilliant stocking filler as we approach Christmas far too quickly for my liking! There is a competition on Facebook – closing date Friday 7th September – to win some of these brilliant new Smencils.
