most of my things were family hand-me-downs, we couldnt afford it either, except for birthdays/christmas. we also had a Keds shoebox with pencils and markers, i think that is why to this day i love the smell of a fresh box of crayons...lol!
i also think that is why my parents spoil my daughter, and i do too. i still make her take days off to use her mind, like we did as the "poor kids"...turns out all that time we spent writing and drawing developed one hell of a talent for my sister, who won a full art scholarship 2 years ago...
SOOO i nominate a box of 64 count Crayola crayons with the built-in sharpener!
and a nice fresh coloring book...
