It’s sold as a back-to-school and journaling set. The listing photos show navy, mint, purple, peach, pink and lilac barrels in a clear case.

It’s Four Candies’ most-rated product and one of the top mechanical pencil sets on Amazon. On October 23, 2026, the listing showed 4.7 stars from 12,799 ratings, No. 1,016 in Office Products and No. 13 in Mechanical Pencils.

Four Candies doesn’t publish the length or weight of a single pencil.
What are the jelly erasers like?
They’re soft, translucent block erasers in pastel gradients, printed “BLOSSOM” on the listing photos. Four Candies sells them as soft and clean-erasing, and Amazon’s review summary says buyers find them work better than ordinary rubber erasers.
Each pencil also has a small eraser under its cap, and the nine refills replace those when they wear down.
Should you get 0.5 mm or 0.7 mm?
Use 0.5 mm for small handwriting and notes, and 0.7 mm if you press hard or want darker, less breakable lines. The set gives you three of each, so you can try both.
A 0.7 mm lead is 40% wider than a 0.5 mm lead, so it snaps less under pressure. Our best mechanical pencil lead guide covers better leads to load into either.
How does it compare with other everyday mechanical pencils?
It’s a colorful set with erasers and spare lead included; the BIC Xtra-Smooth is plainer and cheaper per pencil, and the Kuru Toga rotates its lead.
| Four Candies set | BIC Xtra-Smooth | uni Kuru Toga | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead | 0.5 and 0.7 mm | 0.7 mm | 0.3 and 0.5 mm |
| In the box | 6 pencils, 360 leads, erasers, case | Packs of 5 to 320 | 1 pencil |
| Price band | $ | $ | $$ |
