Even if it's not expensive, Is there a high quality item every serious enthusiast owns?

Or maybe it's a highly prized holy grail item you'd give your right arm for.

Is there something you've had an eye on for a while and you're just waiting for an excuse to treat yourself?

A coffee mug gifted by one of your favorite students.

Followed by a working pencil sharpener and the nice stapler you don't let freshmen hands touch.

As a writer and teacher, I was wracking my brains trying to think what item would be most desirable. You've summed it up perfectly, I think. I'd maybe throw on some kind of fountain pen, like a Twsbi Eco or Kaweco Sport.

I use an eco (I don't like the nib i got, too fat). Nothing like correcting work in red ink with shimmer!
