I've seen the small pencils for sale at Staples - they are called "Golf Pencils".

Or you could steal them from the mini-putt place! grin

any office supply store like Office Depot or Staples carries the small pencils - they call them golf pencils. You can then wrap them in a matching paper since them come in a yellow color.
Love this post-it note holder! thanks for sharing!
