The problem is I REALLY REALLY want everything hahaha I also justify everything to make it okay to buy. I am going to be ordering that tipi tent because I feel that I need it lol my friend asked me last night " you run a daycare why do you need a tent" lol good point but I feel that it will encourage them to read more books as I would use it as a reading corner ... ......crazy but what can you do lol its a problem...once I have it in my head I cant stop thinking about it hahaha oh god the worst part is I don't have any credit cards!
I would say that before you buy anything, check for it second hand first......

Or make it youself. Kids will be happy if you take two chairs and throw a sheet over top.
Or I have seen a bunch of tutorials online for making kids teepees, doesn't look hard at all. It is on my list of things to do when I have the time or inclination (which means probably never - lol).
My reading nook is just a corner with some throw pillows and a couple kids foam chairs. I put a basket of books in the middle and the kids go to town.
I know you tell yourself you NEED it, but do you REALLY need it? It is hard when you get an idea and a strong want for something, but you may regret all these purchases down the road.
