Description: A birch pencil pot from IKEA
Price: £15 (~$20; €18) for a set of four boxes
Material: Birch
Further information: A pencil pot made from birch, from IKEA’s Förhöja set. I didn’t see this set on the American IKEA web site, but on the continent it is much cheaper than in the UK (€14.99 vs. £15).

Description: A bamboo pencil pot from John Lewis
Price: £5 (~$6.75; €6.05)
Material: Bamboo
Further information: A bamboo pencil pot. The rounded corners are really nice. If you like bamboo: a 2011 blog post included a similar pencil pot, but this month’s pencil pot’s simplicity makes it the nicer of the two pencil pots.
