    What do you collect?

    I personally have always liked cute charms and plush and collect them when I can, but I am curious what others collect and if you have a big or small collections.

    Oooh speaking about collections -

    I used to have collections of Starbucks bottles from different parts of the world (bought one whenever I traveled).
    I also collected tequila bottles as I worked part-time in a Mexican restaurant when I was young.

    All those stopped when I decided to have a more fluid lifestyle which had me moving to different countries to work and live in and moving was such a hassle.

    Now I just collect flight ticket stubs. (Isn't going really well with the migration to e-tickets via your phones as well as COVID now)

    I have a TON of books, and always love buying more, though I don't do it often. I also have 3 funko pops at my desk at work that I'd like to add onto. Also a lipstick collection. My pricey splurge of MAC lipsticks that I love to wear to work (when we actually went into the office)

    i collect pokemon plushies/merchandise! i'll usually buy any weavile merch, mandibuzz, or mew plushies since those are my top 3 favorite. mew does get a lot of stuff though so it's hard to keep track sometimes.

    @Unown That's amazing! Yeah with everything going to electronic, getting physical items feels way more special now
    @(you need an account to see links) Nice! Has your book every gotten to a point of space issues? Oh man I love MAC products! I just recently last year ventured outside of MAC to try other companies and I did that buy getting a Beautylish mystery box ^^
    @(you need an account to see links) I love my pokemon plush (though I mainly get a lot of japan exclusive pikachus/eevees) Is there a lot of weavile and mandibuzz plush available?

    I collect all sorts of nonsense! I have a couple of cabinets full of sealed consoles and video games. Various different sealed Pokemon TCG booster boxes from the originals to now, as well as tins and promotional box sets. If something has a fancy, rare appeal to it, then I try grab it when I can! I also have a sizable liquor collection for the home bar that I'll probably never get.

    Growing up I collected all sorts of shit. Snow globes. Miniature tea sets. Clothing tags (briefly). Glass animal figurines. Those little collector spoons. Fucking beanie babies. Coins (nothing legit, just stuff that's easy for an nine-year-old to get hands on). I moved houses when I was thirteen and a lot of those just kind of fizzled out and never got unpacked and still live in my parents' basement. I had a few other things that were mostly lots of small-scale collections I used to decorate my room. Weird sunglasses. Novelty lunchboxes. Shit like that. When I was seventeen I bought a copy of the first harry potter book while traveling internationally and it became my go-to souvenir even as my interest in the series dwindled. Now as JKR keeps getting worse, I don't totally know how I feel about continuing with that, as sad as it is to put a stop in that collection. Last time I travelled internationally I bought a few art books and a zine, which seems like a great idea for the future. Art sort of transcends language. Not that there's any foreseeable international travel. Even local travel could allow for interesting things if I figure out where to get my hands on some local zines or otherwise home-produced books.

    I realize I kind of veered into souvenirs over general collections, but I don't really have anything I actively collect anymore. Honestly I have such an over attachment to my shit, I probably shouldn't start one.

    @(you need an account to see links) there's quite a few of weavile due to the lucario and the mystery of mew movie. that's where the majority of them came from. there's only one official mandibuzz plush, but i have 5 of them since they're super cute...

    I collected stickers, stamps, erasers and notebooks when I was young.

    Now I'm mostly collecting One Piece related stuffs (pens, posters, figurines, keyboard pad, jackets etc).
    My room is filled with my collections..

    I've bounced back and forth around a lot of collections over the years, sort of like Kittyrayray. (I also actively collect spoons still- little ceramic ones, I don't know why I love them so much but I do!)
    Teapots were one I was really into for a long while, picked up so many cute ones from thrift stores. Beanie babies when I was a kid, webkinz, makeup, squishies for a long while (little foam stress toys in various shapes), NieR: Automata merch, Pokemon merch (though a good deal of it has been passed down.), spider plushes, all sorts of purses... I still have all the Animal Crossing Amiibo, Nintendo really suckered me into that one.
    I get really attached to items and it's something I strongly dislike about myself.
