There is a related short story.
A US soldier posted in Iraq was shot couple of times in his boots. While applying at Stern, he sent those two boots as part of this essay's answer. People say that after this incident last year, Stern has prohibited applicants from sending perishable and worn items.
You can really send anything and everything apart from what is mentioned in application. A written item is simplest of all. You can write a plain essay, a short story, a play, a situational or conversational item, whatever you wish.
As one of the current students told me - Adcom does not differentiate between applicants based upon the extent of innovation you put in answering this question rather the extent to which your answer describes you. In my view - imagine that you are standing in front of the class and exhibiting your item or reading your response. Will your class be able to understand you? If yes, then your response is good else rethink...
