Night-Sky Coloured Pencil Gift Set — 48 Colours

About this product

Forty-eight coloured pencils standing tips-up in a rigid night-sky box — the size where opening the lid is part of the gift.

The supplier photographs this one open, and it is worth seeing: the pencils sit upright in a black inner tray, so lifting the lid shows a block of forty-eight colour points rather than a closed pack. The barrels are left bare rather than lacquered, so the only colour on show is the lead at the sharpened tip.

• 48 coloured pencils
• Rigid two-piece gift box with a lift-off lid, 17.8 cm tall and 6.7 cm across
• Pencils held upright in a black inner tray
• Packed weight 348 g, as given by the supplier

Take the 48 if you want the set to look complete the moment it is opened. The 36 is the slimmer box for a smaller occasion, and the 72 is the one to choose when nothing should be missing.
