STABILO Is Hot at the University of Oregon!

Word on the Oregon streets is that University of Oregon students love STABILO! So much so in fact, that the Duckstore (the school bookstore) made a cool custom window display to celebrate the arrival of a new STABILO display in their store.

I asked the store staff what they liked most about STABILO. They said they really liked the good German quality and stylish design of the products - and style matters to their students! They also liked that a lot of the products are more ergonomic and more unique than the standard, non-exciting pens and pencils you find in the big box stores.

As far as what products are most popular with the students, it looks like Point 88 and Pen 68 are the winners. But that wasn't it. Staff members Christopher and Rachel said, "The Stabilo Green line appeals to North West customers. Big draw as environmental issues become more mainstream." They also professed love for the Woody pencils and new dry highlighters!

Nice to see the STABILO love spreading out there!

STABILO Dry Highlighter - GREENlighter!

I have to be honest, one of the new STABILO products that surprised me the most this year was the GREENlighter - a dry highlighter pencil that's part of the new GREEN range of product. Basically, it's a thick pencil that's used as a highlighter. STABILO used to make the BOSS dry highlighter pencil, but discontinued it several years ago. I was fortunate to have one of the old BOSS dry highlighters and LOVED it, which is why all that remains now is a little nub of it in my desk drawer. So when I found out STABILO was reviving the dry highlighter as part of their GREEN range, I got excited.

What surprised me was that there are others out there that felt the same way I did! When talking to STABILO lovers about it, I found there were other people out there who missed the BOSS dry highlighter and have actually been looking for it since it disappeared. Now it's been reincarnated as an eco-friendly version in three colors!

So here's the lowdown on the GREENlighter - it has a triangular shape making it more ergonomic to hold, and it's also thicker than a normal pencil. The wood is 100% FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood and is coated with an eco-friendly matte finish. It comes in three colors; yellow, green, and pink.
