The Story Behind The Pencil Nerd's Most Popular Set
Share
Some gifts almost write themselves — and the Suffragettes pencil set is one of them.
When I started The Pencil Nerd, the whole idea was to make pencils for people with passions. Not generic stationery, but something that says "I see you, I know what you love, and I found the perfect thing." The Suffragettes set came from exactly that place.
The women of the Suffragette movement were fierce, funny, determined, and utterly unafraid to make a scene. They deserve to be remembered — not just in museums and textbooks, but in everyday objects that keep their spirit alive. And what's more everyday than a pencil?
Each pencil in the set is hand-stamped by me, here in the North East of England, just a few miles from places where that history actually happened. It's a small detail, but it matters to me that these are made with care rather than churned out.
The set has become one of the most popular in the shop — bought as gifts for history teachers, museum trips, feminist friends, and anyone who thinks a good pencil is a small act of joy. One customer bought a set to go alongside a visit to a Suffragette exhibition. That made my day.
If you're looking for a gift for the history lover in your life — or you just want a pencil that means something — you can find the Suffragettes set in the shop.
