Collections
Do you, your SO or children collect any items?
My 6yr old son collects soda tops for the Ronald McDonald house. He's got quite a bit!!! I love seeing his face light up when we deliver them. He always thinks of others first! He's a great kid. He didn't start until I had to stay there while the twins were in NICU. He even has a few family members/friends that save them for him to give away too. ☺
My 13yr old collects "snow globes". He has over 30+ and started when he was about 6. Some are Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and ones he got in Tennessee or places we vacationed. I think it's neat.
I guess I would say pictures. I have over 5,000 or more. 2 large suitcases to be honest. Only approximately 50 from my childhood, but mainly ones from the past 13yrs. ?
My mom collected crystals and grateful dead things. I did a school project in 5th grade about rocks/crystals for the science fair. Lol
^^^my mom collected crystals and my best friend's parents were so ridiculously religious that she couldn't come to my house because they believed she "worshipped rocks"...although she did preach that they held certain powers soooo....anyway, my mom collected crystals too ?
I collect converse! I have them in seriously EVERY color I think. Hubby HATES it! He doesn't understand why I NEED three different shades of blue(especially since I'm colorblind)! He says I wouldn't even know they were different if I didn't read the box so why have em?!?! I kindly point him to the million gun safes and tell him to shut his face!!
SO collects cards. Sports cards (football) and magic the gathering. Honestly I hate it. Its never ending, they get super expensive and they are everywhere in our house. Some displayed in cases, some of low value stacked on the mantel, we have one whole bedroom assigned for cards. I'm talking thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of them. Autographed, pieces of jersey (in the card). Its crazy. A few years ago we qent through a hard time and needed cash. He spent 7 hours at a card shop going through his magic the gathering cards with the owner and came home with $3500.
I don't think my collection of soaps, lotions and makeup counts lol. I collect I Love Lucy stuff and also ceramic dogs. I don't think my dh really collects anything other that tools lol. My oldest daughter collects sock monkeys. My other daughter collects cat/kitten things. My son collects Ninja Turtle things along with super hero/action figures
I like anything Nightmare Before Christmas, some Disney stuff, dragons, black cats, birds, Norse looking stuff, skulls bones, feathers. I used to collect action figures like Spawn, still have a bunch in there own packaging, now I only buy something I really like here and there.
I'm a photo hoarder too. Its bad I scrapbook and do albums. I have 300+ photos I still need to print lol
I collet angels, monopoly games, and old coins.
DH collects knifes, $2 bills, movies, and rare coins.
I'm also a memory hoarder, per say, with photos. I just printed 100+ photos for my sons baby books and he's only 2 and I still have more to print off and need to start printing DD's stuff ?
My LO collects cars. Cars! Cars! Cars! Is what's all over my house. Everyone buys him cars (and balls but I've since put a halt to the ball buying after busting my a$$ numerous of times on balls of every size)
I'm trying to set aside collector cars for him to display later on when he's older.
I have a collection of kids I'm looking to sell to the highest bidder. ?
I don't collect anything but my brother used to collect comic books and baseball cards. He passed away some years ago and I have that collection. I doubt I would ever part with it.
