Perfectly pigmented
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: EmeraldB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Years ago, I used to buy adult coloring books because after becoming a parent, I realized how therapeutic coloring became. It’s been years since I’ve had a coloring book and these gel pens inspired me to not only get back into coloring but to set aside therapeutic non-Screen Time to do something creative that I enjoy. They glide well and are very pigmented. I love these.

A favorite since the 90's
on April 9, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a user of Gelly Roll pens since the 90's ( I still have my black/blue Gelly Roll trapper keeper!) and honestly, I still use them everyday to make my menial work tasks more fun. This new Special addition Gelly Roll set has met all of my expectations. The tip is medium and the pens write very smoothly. As in the past, it will smudge if you touch it before it dries. This set came with 24 pens and a little carry pouch. It has 4 pens in classic/matte, 10 in metallic and 10 in stardust. These pens are not labeled so it's a little hard to figure out which finish each pen is but if you look closely at the retractable caps, you can see the solid colors are classic, solid with glitter are metallic and the caps that are transparent are shimmery and translucent. The Metallic and Stardust pens are my favorite. The best thing about these pens is the fact that they are retractable aka "clicky". I have lost many Gelly Roll pen caps in my purse before and it makes quite a mess, that will not be a problem with these pens and that seals the deal for me. These pens are also a little bit thicker than the original and that makes them more comfortable for me to write with.
Overall, I absolutely love this set and I'm so happy that I will never lose a cap ever again!

The Ultimate Pen Set For Everyday & Creative Magic
on April 7, 2026
Posted by: JessicaW
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm seriously impressed with the Gelly Roll Retractable Gift Set! The variety in this set is perfect- you get glitter, metallic and classic pens all in one, so it covers pretty much every creative mood. The glitter pens add such a fun sparkle without being messy, while the metallic ones have a smooth, vibrant finish that really pops on both light and dark paper.
What I love most is how smoothly all the pens write - no skipping or clumping- and the retractable design makes them super easy to use and store (no lost caps!) The classic pens are great for everyday writing, while the glitter and metallic ones are perfect for Journaling, card-making or adding flair to notes.
It also comes with a small carrying case, which is such a nice bonus - it keeps everything organized and makes it easy to take your pens on-the-go!
Overall this set feels like a great value and would make an awesome gift or a treat for yourself if you love adding a creative touch to your writing. I highly recommend these!

Fun variety of colors.
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: NatalieB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens vary in smoothness and brightness depending on color. Most are slightly muted but overall this is a nice set of colored pens. The design of them confused me at first because it has a cap that you press to open the pen - it doesn’t actually cap the pen. The bag is a cute addition! The zipper opens so wide that my pens fall out if I’m not careful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gelly roll 08 is a staple for a reason. Whether you’re color coding your planner, doodling in the margins, or writing a heartfelt letter , the combination of vibrant output and buttery smooth motion, makes it an absolute joy to use.

Great pens. Great colors
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: MichealeM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great. I love the click button instead of having to take the cap off. The pens write so smooth. The colors are really vibrate. And there are a lot of colors to choose from. The pens feel nice in your hand and glide across the paper well. After the first use there are no gaps in the ink. They work great. And help keep work more fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were so cute and so easy to use. They are a great value too! It even came with a pouch. I’ve been using them for a while and it has no dried out like other pens have. I love how easy they are to grip like a regular pen.

Mixed
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: KrisstinaT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mixed feelings about this product. I love that the gel pens are clickable with a fake cap. I love it comes with pouch but the pouch is not cute . The pen is not very gel like. Very stiff for the colored caps the plain cap ones draw more smoothly.
