Sprout® Basil Pencil | For writing, gifting or planting

This pencil is more than just a writing implement: once you’ve sharpened it for the last time, simply plant it in soil – and fresh basil will grow. The concept is as simple as it is ingenious, making the Sprout® pencil the perfect promotional gift or giveaway.

The pencil is made from FSC-certified wood. At one end is a built-in seed pod containing basil seeds. Once the pencil has been used up, simply plant it in moist soil with the seed capsule facing downwards – the first seedlings will appear within 10 to 15 days. Basil can be grown on a windowsill all year round or planted out in the garden after the last frost.

From just 1 piece with your own print: we’ll print your design on an area measuring 145 × 5 mm on the side opposite the logo within one day in Berlin. Sprout pencils are ideal for companies, events, trade fairs, schools or as an unusual wedding gift.


The German name for the seed, ‘Basilikum’, and the Sprout logo are laser-engraved on one side. The print is applied to the opposite side.
