About this item
- 🖉 MAKE THE WORLD SPROUT – This Special edition contains 8 graphite Sprout pencils. Look closely at the tip of this unique pencil and you’ll see a small seed capsule. Write, draw, doodle and design, until your Sprout pencil becomes too short to use, then simply turn it upside down, plant the stub and enjoy watching it grow into fragrant herbs, beautiful flowers or fresh organic vegetables. Each pencil indicates what seed type is inside and what plant will grow.
- 🖉 WORLDS FIRST PLANTABLE PENCIL – At Sprout, we believe that big change is possible through small innovations. We’ve taken this idea and developed it into the world’s first patented and plantable pencil, a true messenger for green change. By choosing Sprout pencils, you're setting an example for a greener and better future. Sustainability is not just something we encourage our customers to promote. We incorporate it in all aspects of our business at Sprout.
- 🖉 VERSATILE, SUSTAINABLE, ECO-FRIENDLY – Sprout pencils are 100% eco-friendly, non-toxic, biodegradable and made from sustainably sourced materials, utilizing sustainable production techniques. Our pencils and packaging are either PEFC or FSC certified. This means that every time a tree is harvested, another one is planted. Our pencils also carry the European EN-71 safety approval certification and we’re a proud member of SEDEX.
- 🖉 THE GIFT THAT GIVES BACK – Sprout Pencils are an excellent gift for friends, family and colleagues. The ideal present for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, Back to School, Stocking Stuffers, advent calendar, weddings, teacher's appreciation day and other special occasions. A green sustainable mindset is ultimately the greatest gift of all.
- 🖉 WHAT’S IN THE BOX – The Sprout Original Edition contains a total of 8 eco-friendly, biodegradable and high-quality Sprout graphite pencils with decomposable cellulose seed-capsules for herbs, flowers or vegetables.

Die Stifte sind eine tolle Idee und schön umgesetzt. Unweigerlich für einen stolzen Preis - im besten Fall kauft man hier aber nicht nur Samen und einen Bleistift sondern auch einen kleinen Gedankenanstoß zur Bewusstseinsänderung unserer Wegwerfgesellschaft.
Besonders haben wir uns auf den Stift mit Sonnenblumen- und Cherry-Tomaten-Samen gefreut. Zu unserer großen Enttäuschung war dieser aber entgegen der Darstellung auf dem Produktfoto in der eigentlichen Lieferung nicht enthalten. In einer super freundlichen Antwort nach weniger als 24 h wurde uns aus Kulanz ein Ersatz zugesagt. Nach einer Woche erreichte uns dann ein kleines Päckchen direkt aus Dänemark, dass nicht nur die zwei "fehlenden" Stifte ersetzte, sondern noch jeweils einen zweiten mit Sonnenblumen- und Cherry-Tomaten-Samen, eine Set mit zwei hübschen Samenkarten und eine, die einen persönlichem, händisch geschriebenen Gruß enthielt.
Genial!!! Lange nicht mehr ein solches Verständnis von Kundenservice erlebt.
Das nach dem Hinweis das Produktbild nach wenigen Tagen entsprechend angepasst wurde ist für mich in diesem Fall selbstreden - im Allgemeinen aber auch nicht selbstverständlich.
Kurz:
Wertvolle Produktidee
Schöne Produktqualität
Grandioser Kundenservice
und ein für das Gesamtpaket akzeptabler Preis.
Gerne wieder!
