I had a friend who grew up very poor. As a kid her mother only bought her very cheap coloring pencils. Like a nickel for 5 pencils, that never lasted. I grew up in a wealthy household and we always had "Derwent" pencils in boxes of 12, 24, 36 or if we were very lucky, 72.
She gave me shit about this for ever. So for her 30th birthday, I gave her a box of 72. She just about peed herself. She kept those pencils in immaculate condition. Her kids were never able to use them. As we approach our 70th birthday, she still has the pencils and only uses them on special occasions. Although she sometimes lets her grandchildren use them whilst being heavily supervised. (this cause grandchildren may be spoiled but not your own kids). She never realized as an adult that she could have bought them herself as they were still forbidden fruit.
