@Valli No, I never minded about etchasketch although I was always very jealous of people who had a spirograph but I don't mind not having one now. A tin of Caran D'Ache colouring pencils. I've recently discovered Kew used to do colouring books that are just beautiful and one of those and a tin of Caran D'Ache 40 colours will be absolutely perfect for our friend's 60th b'day. She has a really responsible stressful job and she loves colourful things. It'll help her switch off. The first Kew book I bought her had several plates already coloured in so I've bought her an As New one and am now on the hunt for a tin of colours for me! I don't mind using the Used one at all.Being a services child we used to move very often, and when we moved continents I was only allowed to take three toys with me. I managed to salvage some of my favourite toys but there were a few, 'Oh, they got lost in storage / transit' several times when we just moved countries and I was told I could take more than three. I've reached an age when I don't mind indulging my flights of fancy occasionally, especially when its frivolous.Better is good enough.4
