How to choose the best stationery sets in Australia

  1. 1Decide whether you need pens, pencils or both. The Four Candies 45 PCS set has 6 gel pens and 6 mechanical pencils. The Four Candies 36PCS Mechanical Pencil Set has 3 mechanical pencils in each of four sizes, and its included items name no pens or highlighters.
  2. 2Check the pencil sizes. The Four Candies 45 PCS and 36PCS sets both include 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.9mm and 2.0mm pencils. The Four Candies 39 PCS Pink set and the Four Candies Purple set list 0.5mm and 0.7mm pencils. The AIJOY listing mentions no mechanical pencils.
  3. 3Look for the extras you will use. The Four Candies Purple set is the only one here whose listing includes correction tape (4 of them), and it adds 200 sticky notes and 66 index tabs. The AIJOY set includes index tab sticky notes, a ruler set and an A7 spiral notebook.
  4. 4Read the age statement. The Four Candies 36PCS listing says it is not suitable for children under 14. The Four Candies 39 PCS Pink listing says it is suitable for children over 3. The Four Candies Purple listing says both 'Adult & Teen' and 'Suitable for ages 3+'. The AIJOY listing gives no age range in the features or specifications we read.
  5. 5Compare the cases. The AIJOY pencil case has 12 compartments and a 90° wide opening. The Four Candies 45 PCS, 39 PCS and 36PCS pouches each have four compartments, and the Four Candies Purple case has 3 compartments with 10 pen slots.

Editor's note

Three things separate these sets. The first is pens against pencils: the Four Candies 36PCS set is mechanical pencils in four sizes with no pens or highlighters in its included items, while the Four Candies 45 PCS set has gel pens, highlighters and pencils from 0.5mm to 2.0mm. The second is the extras: only the Four Candies Purple set lists correction tape, and the AIJOY set adds a notebook, sticky notes and a ruler set. The third is age: the 36PCS listing says it is not for children under 14, the 39 PCS Pink listing says it suits children over 3, and the Purple listing gives both 'Adult & Teen' and 'ages 3+'. Listings were read on 23 October 2026 and can change.
