I have a few now, but I used to save a lot of them when I was in HS. It was a hobby. There is one now that I am kind of on the fence about saving. It is a tequilla bottle with a hat on it.. The hat is super cute, but honestly, You can't save everything. I probably will though, at least for awhile, maybe not permanently. Do you save them, or get rid of them?

Yeah, If I had a nice place to display them it would be better. I just had a thought, maybe the little sombrero will fit other bottles and I can keep that. That would take up a lot less room.

No bottles.. I toss them although I do have a collection of coffee mugs from different places and some with funny sayings on them.

If there is a really unique bottle or jar I will save it.The problem is I don't really have anywhere to display them.

@dgobucks226 The problem with that other than looking messy is that you can't find what you need when you need it.

I keep them for a while as they seem to me to be too pretty to throw out. Then, I might donate them to the op shop.

@snowy22315 Opportunity shop = thrift shop. Also known as Good Sammies or Vinnies here according to whether the Good Samaritans or the St Vincent de Paul run them. Other charities have them too.

Some I really like, and others like this bottle are sort of iffy. I mean the little hat is quite cute. It is actually a sombrero.

I've done that at times. However, the stuff ultimately ends up in the recycling bin. We have moved too often for me to have the habit of collecting things.

That's the down side, you can't take everything with you.

I've never saved anything like this. I'm not a huge saver of things.
