Shopping Spree

My Dear Husband bought me a gift card for Lakeshore Learning Store. At first, though I am ashamed to admit it, I thought, "what on earth is a high school teacher going to find there?"
I thought a little more.
I have been blessed with a husband who gives gifts to express love. I had a rough year last year and changed schools and subjects in an attempt to recapture my love for teaching. He wanted me to have nice, coordinated things around the room so that I would feel loved and accepted in my new environment. Rejecting his gift would be tantamount to rejecting him.
Today, I finally took him up on his offer. I purchased the following items:

• fade-resistant paper to line and create boards around the room
• a couple of coordinated bulletin board sets
• coordinated letters
• matching borders
• a record and planning book
• 150 "happy birthday" certificates
• and several dozen recognition certificates.

 Not only have I found my belated but warranted attitude of gratitude, but also a gluttonous desire for MORE... a magnetic timer shaped like an apple, labels to match my bulletin board sets, more award certificates...

How do you create a welcome learning environment for your students? If someone gave you a gift card to aid in that purpose, where would you shop, and what would you want?
