Even in an increasingly digital world, it's still handy to have a writing utensil on hand that will actually work on paper and this Bic pen stylus offers both options.
The Bic Cristal Stylus looks almost entirely like a regular ballpoint pen, except it has a rounded end that makes writing on touchscreen devices possible. The pen is a little more expensive than other regular Bic ballpoint pens, but understandably since it does double duty. The pens come in both blue and black ink, as well as slightly different American and European styles.
Although you will probably want to hang onto this pen since it can write on both paper and digital devices, when the ink runs out, it'll only function as a stylus anyway.
