What else do you collect?

So I was wondering what else everyone collects, if anything and do you have "rules" for your collections?

For me,

*MH and only ones I stumble upon in stores. No "hunting" allowed. Must be random, available and probably an impulse buy.

*Occasionally Hello Kitty, but usually HK stuff seems expensive for what it really is, cheap plastic. Usually I just get the Happy Meal HKs.

*Those String Dolls/Voo Doo/Mummy things you can get from gumball machines or Hot Topic (Rules, preferably from gumball machine and not Hot Topic). I hang them from my rear view mirror. So the collection is rlly small.

*Hard cover copies of my favorite books (usually unsuccessful b/c I'm painfully cheap. Rules, best found at library book sales)

*The fortunes in fortune cookies are taped all over my fridge. just thought i'd add that.

*Pin Up stuff. Rules; old school and classy, very preferably vintage/original.

*My cats whiskers when I find them on the floor or furniture. I put them in a metal jar. Idk why, but have always done it.

*Very small collection of rubber duckys in bathroom. Can't get any cooler than rubber duckys.

*And very recently cutting boards. Rules, must be able to hang on wall. They look awesome and make me look like i know how to cook.

(Actually had no idea I collected so much. This is how hoarding starts! lol)

Oof, I'm just getting to this now...whoops to slacking (haha)

MH- So far Ive managed to get almost all of certain waves but Im trying to calm that down >./p>

Anything Nightmare Before Christmas (Comforter, steering wheel cover, floor mats, seat covers, mugs, jewlery, some figures, a snuggie and more I'm sure)

Mini Lalaloopsies- Some are certain sets but not all of them

Coloring books, crayons, colored pencils

Books (though Ive been a lot better about it and go to the library when I can)

Hello Kitty (Bathrobe, purses)

BJDs (Ball jointed dolls) But a lot of them are without face ups :/

Knee socks- LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE them :D

G.I. Joe, although much of what comes out now is of no real interest to me. 25th is more or less over with beyond the upcoming Dollar General figures. I plan to get maybe 2 of the movie toys.

MP FIM. I only get the small plastic figure snow though, plus some of the playsets. I'll get the 3-pack minis later this year for sure. I may get that big talking white Celestia though, but it'll depend on if they use the old cloth wings or the new plastic wings.

Transformers, though I scaled back. I'll get Masterpiece Prime later this year, and both the FOC Soundwave and Soundblaster. I'm also buying some "3rd party" unofficial small WST Transformers from someone in Hong Kong who makes them. I have 2 of his Ultra Magnus sets.

I also sort of grab things at random here and there, especially at thrift stores.

Monster high:I forget how I got into these dolls, but I simply adore them. If I can afford them and like the doll then I will gladly buy it. I have about 8 MH dolls.
LPS: I may have close to 200 or so, what can I say! I just love them. I will only buy them if they`re G2 though, I hate G3
Bows: For cosplay, headbands, hair clips, clothes with bows ect! I just love bows and have about 10 bow headbands alone.
Books: Our family has always been into reading, I will gladly stay up late to read.
Reborns: I may only have 2 but they are truly so expensive that thats a collection to me. Picture attached of my girls, Suzie (the smiling girl) and Teagan (the sleeping girl).
Mermaid and fairy related things: I have always loved the magical creatures and still do.
Ballet items: I used to be obsessed with ballet, not so much now. My bedroom is ballet themed.

But with such an organized family, every collection has its place to be (own storage) even if they do scatter around very often!
