writing implements
Pens and pencils
Writing implements are tools used to make marks on paper or other surfaces—pens, pencils, markers, crayons, and the like.
The phrase appears most often in formal or institutional contexts: Please bring your own writing implements to the exam.
In everyday speech, people usually just ask for a pen or something to write with.
