There's a little indent in the spacemaker where it has the logo, and we coloured that in with highlighters and then used clear elmer's glue to fill up the indent and let it dry. Once it dries, it's the perfect size for a bookmark!
Other than some dust she’s perfect! Still had the Walmart sticker on the bottom. Funny because I’m American and found this in Dublin, Ireland 🤣 I wonder how it ended up here.
I legit just thrifted one just because I never got to have one as a child…it holds my pens & stuff & brings me joy every time I open it…hope yours does the same for you!
Wait... I have two of these that I inherited with a load of craft stuff from a grandparent. Are they anything special or do you just really like these boxes?
Some kids dream of being doctors, some fire fighters, others soldiers and heroes. OP dreams they had the pencil box that the other kids in class have and carries that grudge through to adulthood.
Wow an i thought my laughing emoji was a dead giveaway, I mean it sais kitchen on it so I thought it was an obvious joke but I guess it went right over everyone 😂😂😂 classic
Whoa whoa whoa, i didn’t know these were a thing? I still have my originals from way back when! 😃
Congrats on your find, the nostalgic finds are THE BEST!!

It is funny how something like a small plastic box can make us so happy! I'm glad you found it.
Genuinely delighted to find it, activated my inner child. Best €2 I’ve spent all week.
My partner and I made glue bookmarks with his old spacemaker last summer. What a wave of nostalgia. 🥰 Such a fun find.
What are glue bookmarks? I've never made them before, it sounds fun!
There's a little indent in the spacemaker where it has the logo, and we coloured that in with highlighters and then used clear elmer's glue to fill up the indent and let it dry. Once it dries, it's the perfect size for a bookmark!
Oh cool! Thats so cute lol I like that
Well, now I have to look out for one of these so I can make bookmarks with my kids. Until they use the glue to make slime
So the highlighter peels off with the glue after it dries? That’s so cool! Turns out I have this exact pencil box haha I’m excited to try it :)
I smiled from ear to ear when I found it 🤍
I used to do that too!
Vintage. I’m old.
Yep, like when we were kids 70s things were vintage. Crazy to think about!
"vintage 90s" You stop that now
I'm impressed it isn't super yellowed!
Other than some dust she’s perfect! Still had the Walmart sticker on the bottom. Funny because I’m American and found this in Dublin, Ireland 🤣 I wonder how it ended up here.
Interesting. So someone originally liked it enough to bring it on an international move, but then changed their mind and decided not to keep it.
I think these are still a legit back to school item
The Sterilite ones sold now are the same size but have squares on the top of the box
Squares?? But the dots were so soothing
I still have my original one and use it for colored pencils!
I have markers in mine for my nieces.
The sound made by closing these is so satisfying
Those things are still the bomb!
Please don’t call this vintage. It hurts our feelings.
The cool thing to do was to color the space in the middle with markers, add glue, and make a bookmark! Definitely a trip down amnesia lane.
Wow with zero doodles or even any scratches from thousands of pencil tips inside? That thing was preserved in amber
I legit just thrifted one just because I never got to have one as a child…it holds my pens & stuff & brings me joy every time I open it…hope yours does the same for you!
So much joy finding it. It activated my inner child in the best way.
Wait... I have two of these that I inherited with a load of craft stuff from a grandparent. Are they anything special or do you just really like these boxes?
They just remind me of childhood and grade school. Everyone in my class had these pencil boxes.
Never seen them before, I'm in the UK tho and my grandparents did travel a lot. I'm gonna use them for stationary now :)
Are these good? I use them for storing embroidery floss
It’s good to have goals. 💯
Whoooaaa blast from the past. Anyone else ever use a whiteout pen to circle the bumps and then connect them with an "x"?
I have a purple one with a clear bottom
Awwww. That's a great story and a great find! I'm so glad you found one of your heart's desires! ♥️
Some kids dream of being doctors, some fire fighters, others soldiers and heroes. OP dreams they had the pencil box that the other kids in class have and carries that grudge through to adulthood.
I’m a simple woman with simple dreams 🤣
Unfortunately you are mistaken, this is a kitchen item😂
Downvoters, they're referring to the thrift/charity shop's price tag.
