Ever just find yourself in need a six-sided die? I know I do because life is weird and sometimes you just have to leave things to chance. Make sure you always have one and something to write with the Pencil Dice, the number two pencils with a dice bottom.

They’re not really dice on the bottom, well they are but they’re not cubes. The pencil sides are printed with rows of dots, 1-6. Just roll or drop the pencil as you would a die to get your outcome. Can you play craps with this? Yes? But I don’t think it would have the same effect.

Of course, if you sharpen it too much then the dice part is going to disappear but really who uses a pencil that much? These do not have erasers and to be honest, even though they can be used as actual pencils, they’re more for novelty’s sake than actual usage. You can get one in white for £2.50 each.
