Refrigerator magnets. Rarely do I have an exception to the fuel that the only souvenir I bring home from a trip is one. “The perfect one” is so fun to hunt for and I get so much enjoyment out of them on my fridge.

Anything that’s dinosaur related or anything dinosaurs for that matter, one of my favourite pieces in my collection is a fossilized piece of dinosaur excrement, or in other words, dinosaur poop. I have dinosaur practically everything, I even have a dinosaur hat, the newest piece of my collection is a cute dinosaur sweater, and the hood and sleeves have scale spikes on it. I’m super obsessed with dinosaurs. I’m going to grow up and be a palaeontologist, that’s an expert in dinosaur fossils.

Last Christmas there wasn't enough boxes to wrap all of our Christmas gifts (there's 7 of us) so for the past year I've been collecting every small-medium sized box I can. Gum containers, the box my headphones came in, all of it. They're stacked neatly in the bottom of my closet.

I collect Sweet Valley High books from the 1980s and merch associated with the books. The books have to have a specific edition of cover and printing or I don't want them

I also collect novelizations of horror movies- I wasn't allowed to watch them as a child, but I could read the book of the movie. Now I have a pretty good collection. The jewel in my crown is the novelization of Friday the 13th part 2. It's out of print and goes for about $500, but to me it's priceless. I will acquire part 1 one day, but I'm not ready to spend $700+ on it yet.

To add to my entry at #43:
I collect studio pottery, but that isn't the weird part. I have a collection of really bad amateur pottery pieces, stuff that most people would put straight into the bin. I find them mostly in charity shops and car boot sales, and they range from pieces made by school kids to hobby potters.
Despite their lack of quality they have a charm all of their own. A lot of them would have been made at school and been kept, either by the maker of parents, etc, for many years before a clear-cut saw them consigned to a box to be sent to a charity shop or put on a stall with other unwanted items at a boot sale.
I've found many pieces in boxed lots of good studio pottery at auctions, too, suggesting that someone was proud enough of their effort to give it to a serious collector - probably a family member - who has accepted it in the spirit intended and added it to their own collection of 'real' pottery. Most of these auction finds are from house-clearance lots, which usually means that the owners have passed away and the families have cleared out their houses and are selling the stuff they don't want. It is also clear from the accumulation of dust and grime in the hard to reach parts of the pots that some of them have been kept for decades. It also helps that some have a date inscribed in the bottom along with the makers' initials and sometimes what is most probably the kids' class 'code', so one example, an unusable, chunky, but interestingly decorated mug has 'JW 4RS Feb 56' underneath, which tells me the kid's initials, that he was a fourth year pupil (14-15 yes) and made it in Feb 1956.

I suspect I am not alone here....
I collect stray emotions that their owners are not of a mind to take responsibility or be accountable for once they have released them.
Sadly, but not unexpectedly, in many, perhaps most, environments the yucky ones are the ones left floating about. I am grateful whenever I encounter any based in creation, unity, or peacefulness.
It is not voluntary.
I hope that a few readers here will reflect on the consequences of this.
Thanks to some very special people in my life, I am able to function at least some of the time anyway. I am forever grateful to you.
