Mayonnaise and ketchup in bottles are good seasonings. Examples of stationery include stick glue, erasers, pencils and mechanical pencil leads.

But when it comes to pencils, it's okay. With "Sprout Growing Pencils", you can use up "in a sense".

Users can enjoy the plants and the tabletop mini garden with pencils for some reason.
