What Do You Collect?

I collect different things depending on where I am in my life, I guess. When I had more disposable income, it was perfume and bath/body products. When the budget dwindled, it was nail polish. Now that the budget's been all but eliminated (loool) the only thing I really "collect" is video games, since those can be traded in or sold and then new ones bought with the funds from the old...

I have a very small collection of jewelry. Cheap jewelry, like each piece being $25 or under, because I'm just not into all the mass-produced jewelry store stuff; I like it to have personality and also to be affordable in case it gets lost or broken. Any time someone asks me what I want for a gift-giving occasion I say "something I can wear" (you could get me a 50-cent ring from one of those little toy machines for all I care) because being able to keep it on my person and look at it or touch it throughout the day kind of reminds me that I have people who love me enough to put thought into whatever they ended up picking out instead of just grabbing me some generic thing because they felt "obligated" - if any of that makes sense.

I'm TRYING to collect Chase'm Puffballs for my cat, but they mysteriously went out of stock on amazon and then tripled in price recently despite still not being available, so... /shrug
 
I don't have the money to collect anything. I guess the only thing I have an extensive amount of would be songs...If that even counts...Lyrics? I have a lot of those memorized...Blah...money...collecting...i can't.
 
This is, like, super odd but... I have this weird obsession with lip balm. I only have around... maybe 8 different ones the moment. But if I could buy more, I definitely would. Weird, huh?
 
Disney snow globes, pop up books, vintage books, dollhouse miniatures, and apparently new leaf games, because I now have 5 copies. Oh, and box tops for education, I just can't throw them away. I take a ton of them to the elementary schools once a year.
 
Cool looking coins, some even have different colours on them :0 it helps because I work register for my dads shop ^v^
 
I collect anime merchandise that I like. c: I have so many outfits and stuff I want.
 
I collect Godzilla merchandise (mainly figures, all monsters), and MST3K box sets. Didn't really start out collecting them, but I have amassed so many it's just kind of worked out that way.
 
Salt and pepper shakers. I started when my grandmother passed away and I was given back a set of ceramic elephant shakers I had given her years before for her own collection (of elephants, not s&p shakers). I have many interesting sets but they are my favourites, they remind me of her elephant room.

I also consider my books and video games somewhat of a collection, because I'm pretty particular about finding all in a series, all complete, etc.
 
I was VERY into collecting Pokemon cards. I need a new thing now. I sort of collect jewellery, books, CDs and DVDs but no collectors items at the moment, exactly.
 
I also collect souverniers from random countries xP ive been to 10+ countries and I have over 100 keychains and such from other countries oops
 
I completely forgot to mention that I also collect Dooney & Bourke bags, as well. I have 10 so far, in various colors. I think my favorites are my red patent leather satchel and my ivy green Florentine leather one. It's so soft! I've been on the hunt for a black one that I like, because you always need a black bag, and maybe a light blue or cream color, so I don't feel I my pink one is the only "spring" or "summer" bag.
