I have a bunch of pens and junk laying on my desk and nothing to put them in. Anyone looking to get rid of a small wooden box or something of that sort?

(I might be gone for a week, if I don't answer right away don't worry... I'll be back)

Emart, Homeplus, Lottemart, etc., have some pretty cheap organizational stuff. I'm sure you can find what you need there. Food storage containers work well for office supplies.

Large coffee cups also work.

I found a good pen/paper clip/post-it organizer at the local stationary store for about 3,000 won.

I'll cut a plastic coke bottle in half and mail it to you for 10,000 won.

Cigar box, go to Hamilton Hotel to find one.

Or you can get one of the pencil/jewelry boxes with Korean designs for 10-15,000 won in Itaewon or Insadong

Cigar box would be sweet probably. I was checking here to see if anyone had one they wanted to get rid of... Guess not

Some of my students like to put their pens & pencils in their ears, up their nostrils . . . I'm not suggesting you keep them there, but it seems as good a place as any to put them if you don't mind the extra attention . . .

Seriously, though, use a milk carton or a pringles can. Cut off the top, slap some paper on, and let your students decorate it. If you teach kids. The adjummas might find it weird that you're asking them to draw on your pencil cup.
