Some people get fascinated with certain things depending on their interests. Then, these fascinations would oftentimes lead to collections.

Women would often collect bags and shoes. For the men, it would be action figures or diecast cars.

As for me, I collect shotglasses and magnets from places I've been too.

How about you? Care to share your collection?

If you haven't one, what would be something you would like to collect?

I have collected alot of things. I have a collection of key chains, porcelain dolls, and even beanie babies when they were real popular. However, although i still have them i no longer keep buying new ones. I do have one collection i do keep getting more for is my book collection. I love books, all kinds of books, and no one seems to understand why i keep them after i have read them.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ctv101103 (624)   ranked 995 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  4 years ago

It's the same with me. I keep books even after I've read them. But I don't buy much so I can't really say that I collect them. I think, books are a good collection.


myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1345)   ranked 55 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  4 years ago

I was really big into buying them, but i ran out of book money so i had to lay off buying them.

I love collecting pennies. Unlike other things that people collect, I don't like them for their individual value (because the ones you find in the street rarely have much). I collect them because I think it is amazing how many more places they have been than I have, and because it is fun to collect a TON of them. I especially like old pennies because I like holding them and imagining a time when they really had some sort of value. It amuses me anyway.

I may sound like a pack rat or bit childish but I collect anything thats small and that i find interesting and useful.
A few of the things I have in my collection include: a picture of me and my cousins when we were small, a medal i won, a few tropies, some books (including Eragon), a copy of Kingdom Hearts, and a few high speed ethernet cables... I don't know why i have the cables in there. I guess they are just too usefull to put anywere else.

i think it's nice to collect things that are of value (not necessarily monetary) to you.

Well, I'm a woman but I guess I'm not like other women who do collect pairs of shoes and bags. I do have several of those but I just don't keep them for myself. Most often, I would give or transfer these properties and belongings to my younger relatives and in-laws whom I know will benefit from using it. I believe this is better than discarding or throwing them all away.
I prefer collecting old coins and stamps. Unfortunately, I have somehow forgotten them mainly because I only rely on the coins and stamps which my relatives from other countries give me. At present, writing letters or snail mails isn't being practiced so much anymore because e-mails and text messages are faster, cheaper, and more dependable means of communications with loved ones from far away.
Aside from this, I have several cups and mugs which were given by friends or officemates. I'm not really fond of them but because they were given to me, I treasure them.
But I've got to admit that I'm definitely fond of small and minute items like small decorated tin cans, scented shaped candles (fruits, flowers, veggies), traditional camera film canisters, bottles of perfumes, and jewelries. However, I intend to give all of my jewelries to our daughter when I get old, say when I'm about 50.
I guess the weirdest collection that I've got is the little round pellets which I get from cleaning our staple of rice. Even my husband finds it weird and sometimes, he even laughs at it.
But still, I've got other things which I'd want to collect like feng shui items, dolls and stuffed toys, Nintendo game and watch and cartridges. Unluckily, I don't have excess funds to buy these at the moment.

I collect lots of things. But something I collected today was $5 bills. I withdrew some money from the bank and notice 2 of the bills were $5 in sequence. So I withdrew $50 more in just $5 bills. The next 10 were in sequence. So now I have 12 brand new $5 bills in sequence. I have brand new $1, $2s, $5s, $10s, $20s $50s & $100s in sequence. A lot of money collectors prefer sequential bills. So it will be easy to sell for a profit. I could care less about collecting currency. It is all about the profit to me. This investment should pay off.
