I love to collect birthday cards that I've received over the years and also photos. I do the same for my kids too, and will even feel bad if I throw away their drawings! I also collect souvenirs from around the world. I find that having little treasures and memories makes life more colourful.

I keep small things throughout my life - concert stubs, pictures from weddings but nothing of value to someone else like marbles.

I collect books and manga, and as I read them, I collect interesting quotes from them in a Google Doc. I have been doing this for years now, and my collection has grown to include movies, articles, podcasts, shows, and pretty much anything you can read!

I like collecting quotes so I don't know if this will sound like I took it from the first comment I like collecting motivational videos to.

I love pictures of lighthouses, so I started collecting different ones I would run across in various stores, and my daughter always brings me a lighthouse when she goes on vacation anywhere near the ocean!
I must admit, I'm quite envious. Your collection of lighthouse ornaments/figurines/crafts sounds absolutely fascinating. Regrettably, lighthouse-themed ornaments are a rarity in my area, or perhaps I simply haven't come across them yet. In the meantime, I've found joy in collecting mini ceramic figurines, each with its own special spot adorning my bookshelf.

Fashion changes every day, and some time ago I began to love keeping different pieces of things that may no longer be used or may be old, but due to time they have become rare. It has grown into a habit, but I try to control it.
Life is hard on its own so let's make it easier for each other if we could.

I have two collections that are very special to me. One is the coin collection. I have very old coins and I'm fascinated by them as they hold so much history. Another collection I have is of seashells. Every time I go to a new beach, I start looking for shells washed up on the shore. So I have a unique collection of seashells from every beach I have ever been to.

My sister had a coin collection. I too wanted to imitate her in some way but I was too preoccupied with myself when I was a kid to actually do something about it.

I've never actively had or kept a collection, but when I was younger, I remember I had many sea shells which I painted different colours using poster colours. That was a fun memory!
