Hi Friends,
BIC Pens needs no introduction and as a student, you must have had some exam written using the same. For me, BIC pens were a luxury in India as there are cheaper pens available in the market that we used to write with but then also BIC four-in-one pen was something I really wanted to own. The same came true when I came to South Africa and bought one from the Pick n Pay store at a discounted price. The one I got has a mechanical pencil also built into the same. The same has traveled with me ever since and I do use it if I have to do some forms for a VISA or any kind of government work.
Last year I came across a unique packaging at the Pick n Pay store where the 4 Colours as they are called in South Africa, are in the pen shape pack. It was really a unique packaging and I bought it from the Pick and Pay at Nicole. This year I saw another kind of packaging at Makro which really inspired me to pick some more of them. This time the same was available in Tin packaging which was really awesome.
Check out the video that I created of using the same and also doing a small unboxing for you guys. This packaging has 5 pens inside the box. There are 3 pens with metallic bodies in our normal ink colours - Red, Blue, Green and Black. The other two have Pastel coloured body designs and ink colours are also unique. I really love the smooth flow of ink on the paper. The great plastic quality on these pens and also the colours of inks that are available in this range. The best part is that you can use them for years and can carry them wherever you want. You can keep them in your backpack, pencil case or just randomly in your desk or table and they will start writing when you are ready to do so.

I got to meet the BIC Team at one of their events for Global Education Week. I showcased what I have collected over the years from the brand. This set is definitely going into the Stationery museum that I have created for myself. It brings me a lot of joy to not only use the pens but also to just admire the beautiful writing instruments in their resting place inside the tin box. I wish that along with the body colours they should have all 20 refills in different colours for a special edition packaging. I am sure it's going to happen soon as BIC have those kinds of refills available with them.
