Thanks to the technological advancements we’re witnessing, kids these days are surrounded by iPads and mobile phones. And the biggest casualty of this advancement has been stationery items. Something, that we 90s kids used to cherish. 

Just like these ones right here. Take a look.

1. This multi-purpose pencil box

You press a button and something showed up. This was the coolest thing ever back then.

It’s a pencil. And it’s fashionable. What more do you want?

Remember this ink eraser that used to erase the sheet itself?

Helping us sharpen our pencils in style since forever.

6. Pencil tops

Because even our pencils had a kick-ass fashion sense.

7. Pop-a-point pencils

They used to always go back inside if we applied too much pressure but the annoyance was totally worth it.

8. Mechanical pencils.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a pen? Nope, it’s a pencil. And a rather cool one. Remember how the clicker became a sharpener for the tip?

9. Wing Sung fountain pens

It was a rite of passage to use these pens while making a transition from pencils to pens. And we all knew that one kid who used to rub the ink on their hair.

10. Correction fluid pen

To err is human, to correct is a correction fluid pen. Remember the sound they used to make when we had to shake them to use them?

11. Pen-pencil

Yes, the nibs would break every second but totally worth having a pencil that looked like a pen.

Cult pens

12. Glitter pens

No slam book entry was complete without using a few glitter pens.

Why buy an eraser when you can have one on your pencil itself?

14. Geometry boxes

You know what was cooler than fancy pencil boxes? Geometry boxes with compass and protractor inside. And set squares which we never used. Still don’t know why they were there.

Admit it. We’ve all tried to click all of them at once.

Still wondering how the water was put inside it.

Stationary today might be cool, but it’ll never be 90s level cool.
