Im happy to see other adults that collect toys.

At this point for me, Gray hair and trying to get rid of all the stuff I collected.

I collect fountain pens. Starting with the one my grandfather who was a doctor used.

I collect stones from all the places I’ve traveled. They are all labeled. I’m going to will the collection to my nieces and nephews with the request that they return the stones to their original location. That way I get to encourage them to see the world, and I get be a small part of their travels after I’m gone.

I've never really been bitten by the collection bug. When I have up to 3 or 4 of an item, I usually feel that's enough and I don't need any more.

crystals because they are pretty, Baby Yodas, glitter

Knives

It’s crazy. I grew up in a hording house and just looking at the first 10 pictures made my feel physically ill. What a surprising guttural reaction. I’m glad collecting things bring some people joy. It makes me want to set a building on fire, but you do you boo.

I used to collect comic books (6000 of them) and now I am a magician (tons of it). I believe collectors live their life with passion!

i collect rabbit stuffed animals. my collection is at 26 right now but im fifteen so it will just grow haha

Collecting books. Well, isn't it a common thing for everyone who has a bookshelf?

I already made a post, but something else I collect is those rainbow loom bracelets. I make and collect them, and I do the same with the bracelets you make with string.

Picture coins, games consoles, dvds/blu rays

I collect books, which I intend to eventually read. It doesn't sound like much but during the pandemic especially, I go in to trying to find works of fiction (translated to English) from as many countries as possible. I'm up to 154 and I'm particularly fond of the ones that were very challenging to find or actually acquire like North Korea, Eritrea, Laos, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Belarus, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Mauritania, and Cape Verde. And finding ones written in their national languages. A lot of writers from former Soviet countries write in Russian or German because of a broader audience, so finding works originally in Ukrainian or Georgian was a feat. And India, English is most available, so finding ones originally written in Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali, that was an accomplishment.

I collect those mumin-mugs (pretty common in my country) and get childishly excited when a new one come out (twice a year, the season ones). And fridge magnets from every new place I visit. I love to look at them and keep the memories alive from each trip.
