Amplifiers and basses because finally I'm a professional bass player. In a rock and roll band. Plus string bikini swimsuits I've done this since I was a teenager. Lately I buy tshirts from the bars my band plays at.
I collect these figurines called precious moments! I try to get ones that mean something to me.
I have a teacup collection! It's going way strong!
Here is a weird thing... I collect coasters. The ones you see on tables in bars and breweries. I have heaps of them and many from business that are now defunct. I used to collect matchbooks back when they were a thing.
I collect pixel items and art. Physical items end up cluttering my room sadly.
Feathers... all over the house. All over.
Don't tell me I'll get bird flu or whatever, I've been playing with feathers since I can remember, if I haven't caught it by now, I probably won't lmao
Skulls / Bones (vulture culture stuff in general, but skulls are my faves
)
Paint palettes. You know those little strips of paint colors you can get at like home depot or lowe's or whatever? I hoard those like crazy. Don't take me somewhere where they have those, you'll have to wait a solid ten minutes for me to pick out all the pretty ones lol
Screws / Nuts and bolts ... This one isn't as obsessive as the others, but if I see an abandoned nut / bolt or screw, I'll pick it up and just... toss it in my purse. I have a few in there lol
Sketchbooks / Journals. This is less 'collection' and more "I have an idea and this is a beautiful sketchbook and oops I'm still not finished with this one BUT I NEED ANOTHER" and now I just hoard empty sketchbooks and journals b/c they have pretty covers x_x

Notebooks, sea shells, pretty coffee mugs, porcelain dolls, anything I can put on my key chain, Tupperware, characters LOL rocks, lipstick, stuffed animals.
rocks, lipstick, stuffed animals.
Coins, craft supplies and trash I might totally use for something I swear, Serendipity children's books, makeup (that I rarely use)... Don't recall anything else right now.
It's all more of a hoard than a collection, though.

I collect lego kits
Any coins from any country and value, because I like the way they look.
I like collecting Funko Keychain pops, I think they're adorable.
Books (Then again who doesn't?) - I have a small hoard of books that actually overflows my single bookcase that I have room for. Doesn't stop me from buying new ones though.
1911s - I'm a well known firearms enthusiast, but I have a very soft spot for 1911s. Officially adopted in 1911 by the US Army (where it gets it's name), it was actually designed in 1908, and aside from minor tweaks has remained mostly unchanged and in continuous service for over a century, in multiple calibers. I have four: One in .22 Long Rifle, one in 9mm Luger (aka 9mm Parabellum or 9 NATO), and two in .45 ACP.
A very small collection of instruments I can't play - A bass and a guitar. Told myself I'd learn but haven't gotten around to it yet. I do like the way they look and keep thinking about buying another.
Dachshund memorabilia - A modest collection, but one that's very dear to my heart.

Rocks. That's a give. I store them mostly in shoeboxes (about 15 shoeboxes now).
Tea, also a give; a collection that shrinks, grows and shrinks again, for obvious reasons.
Books. Novels, but I also have a separate 'Tea Book' collection.

I collect virtual hugs. Give meeee someeeee.
Lol. Jk. I collect children's books which I liked when I was a kid, even though I'll probably never read them again, like Scott O'Dell's "Island of the Blue Dolphins" and "Sing Down the Moon," Katherine Patterson's "Bridge to Terebithia," and "Jacob Have I Loved..." (by I can't remember who). Books like that.

my paper slips out of fortune cookies, all of my movie/concert ticket stubs since 2009, aaand tiny velvet animal figures.
Paper....and dust...
I literally collect paper and dust 😐

(And dust..?)
I have a massive collective of pencils, pens, and other unused carp I find at school. I’ve done it since at least first grade, and I’m not stopping at the end of 12th.

Yes. Dust... 'cause all the papers I collect just keep piling up in my room getting dusty and old...
Magic the gathering
Art, pretty notebooks, cute stationary and photographs.
