Favorite School Supplies?

I can remember, as a kid, going out with my mom for the annual "Back to School" shopping trip. For me, my favorite items to stock up on were pens and pencils.
Sure, you might say, that makes sense for a journalist. Not as much sense as you might think. I had this horrible habit, still do actually, of chewing pens and pencils . I destroyed scores of them each year.
On the bright side, no one ever asked to borrow my pen or pencil more than once.
Every August, I eagerly went to the store and picked out my day planner. Yes, even as a child, I needed everything to be organized! My favorite was my Lisa Frank day planner that I had my freshman year at North Reading High School. 

What is your favorite school supply? Is it a fresh pack of new pencils? A full box of crayons? Dry-erase markers and a white board? A colorful binder and folders?
