What type of items do you collect for your kids?

I collect books and pottery. I am not one who keeps every book I get my hands on. I collect only the ones that have special meaning to me, or that I enjoy revisiting to read snipits from now and then. I enjoy shopping for first edition copies and old collectors item books. As for my pottery, I collect mostly bowls and jars. I like to know the artist of the pots I collect. I use most of my collection on a regular basis by rotating them through my house. I have started a collection of books for my son. Each out of town family member that came to visit when he was born we took to a book store and had them buy him a book and sign it. Each year at Christmas my husband and I both choose a special book for him and sign it telling him why we chose that book for him. He has a nice collection of sweet books started that I hope he will be very proud of someday.
