Do you collect anything?

I've always envied people who have collections. I don't have one! I usually just end up throwing stuff away. I have this friend that collects movie stubs of all the movie's she's ever seen, and as expected, it's piling up! Of course my kid collects action figures (Naruto, X-Men, other Marvel and DC superheroes, Ben-10). My partner even collects funny shirts. What all do you collect?

i collect things in memory of my husband and me. i collect our movie tickets that we go see together. i collect our receipts from our dinners out. i collect little things from places we visit or go together. i have a lot of receipts from different places we go to. like the bowling alley, pool hall, the zoo, or museums. just different little things like that. anything that would remind me of my husband or something we did.

That's sweet of you! He'll probably appreciate that if he doesn't know it yet. I'm sure your kids would get a kick out of them when they see them someday.

Caps are a good collection! You can use them anyways. It reminds me of that one character in 30 Rock (Tina Fey's sitcom). I forgot the name of the guy, but he's the one with the caps that has words in them. They're cool and funny.

I used to collect movie stubs too. I maybe only had 60 or so. At least it would help me if I ever collect more dvds. I collect anything to do with animals,art,halloween,video games. Halloween is my main hobby, I have lots of stuff.

I collect coins, stamps and also books. I like beautiful stamps of different countries and coins are easy to collect. With books I first read them and if they are interesting then I store them.

I collect lighters. I love the shape of the lighter, the colors, the signs on it. I like the lighter's function too. I don't have many, because I collect only the good and valuable once - like ZIPPO's and etc. I have ZIPPO lighter that belonged to Ozzy Osbourne ! That's a valuable thing! I also collect pics, deodorants and Stephen King's books. Well my collection are not very big, but with value and quality :) I can say I'm something like valuable collector.

Anything and everything. Well, assuming I really like it. Basically if it falls under one of these categories I. WILL. FIND. A. WAY. TO. HAVE. IT. Specifically: Sonic The Hedgehog (Not very big, only a few plushies, a couple figures, all the games for my consoles, 2 PC Games, and a Poster-- OH! and a wallet, 4 shirts AND SLIPPERS! and a Tails Keychain. Damn, if Anime hut didn't close, I'd have WAY MORE! Oh yeah, I have THE COMICS!) Pokemon (Anything and everything! Posters, Plushies, Figures, the games, the cards, even Promo items! 'bout the only thing I don't have is stuff you can acctually USE) Ojamajo Doremi (Anything I can afford! I have everything they released in America (Exept that GOD FORSAKEN MIRABELLE TALKING DOLL! Guhhh! I can't find her eanywhere, but I know she exists! and I have a japanese soundtrack and 2 boxes of the cards... and 5 boosters) Beanie Babies! (My friend even gave me a collection book) POWERPUFF GIRLS! (Anything I see. Which isn't often.) The Simpsons (What? I like the simpsons! I even have the fishing rod thing!) And for some reason I have tons of stuffed animals everywhere o.O

hi rina, Some people really cannt tolerate stuff collection as they may think it is unuseful and is just a trash. If is obvious for people to think in such way as they may not have interest in those item. But people who are interest in something like to collect them even if it look messy. I too can not stop myself in collecting different gift wrappers and stationary items like erasers,fil holders,clips,decorative items etc. though they are not useful i dont know why i just keep them.I even like to collect wrist bands and hair bands though i never use them...
