To ask if you collect anything that other people make fun of?

[babyno5]

I collect Emma Bridgewater and my friends and family royally take the piss!!
Anyone else collect anything that people find amusing/don't understand?

Coins
Books
Anything Harry Potter
My oh thinks I'm a geek but I don't care haha.

Oh and I collect old biscuit/sweet tins too!

Vinyl records.

I started collecting Dr who stuff then my two ds started playing with them so that came to an end and now I collect rubber ducks, bugs ones, little ones and my three dc laugh at me

Children (I have 4)
Pets
😂

Crystals.

Stamps. Apparently it’s nerdy.

Olympic 50ps.

Pebbles from beaches. I love near the sea and love looking for ‘unusual’ ones. I’m very fussy! I love a beach abroad!!

I also buy postcards when visiting places but Haribo I live the idea of an exchange. I’ll be googling that!

Anything to do with Dumbo.

I also collect Tim Cotterill frogs but no one has said anything about those!

Oh no; what’s wrong with EB?? I could take it or leave it until I went to the factory last month and am now obsessed. Planning to collect it! Did pottery painting and my boys now have their own plates painted by me 😃

I'm an avid red box (EB) purchaser. I have had commends along the lines of why do you need over 120 cups, countless teapots and a dog and a cat (oh and butter dishes, pet bowls, vases, wine glasses etc etc)

I whack them in the dishwasher too.

It's a classy thing to collect!

@BendydickCuminsnatch it's a slippery slope!!

Ha @spellingtest I like that -classy collectors!!
I've met some fab friends through EB too x

I collect LOL Surprise dolls.

I have almost the complete Series 4 Lil Sisters collection.

I also collect Kinder Surprise. (Don't eat the chocolate FTR.)

Hubby says I'm a big kid. I reply that I come by it honestly. My maternal uncle visits Disneyland annually (mind we live in western Canada so close) and my paternal grandmother always said growing old is mandatory, growing up is completely optional.

Forgot to mention I also collect angels.

@DoneAdulting - I've not come across those coins, I need to start hunting! Cheers!

Ok I NEED to know about these Kevins. My son was at school with a Kevin in P1 a few years ago - a 4 year old Kevin - the only Kevin under the age of 35 I have ever met! Maybe he could join the club.

According to my DH I collect coats - I keep buying them, I feel like they are such a vital wardrobe piece. I had no idea it wasn’t “normal” until I read a thread recently which asked how many coats people had. I counted up in my head and got to 18 off re top of my head before I gave up . I’m not sure if others would laugh at it but DH certainly despairs.

Candlesticks. Haven't got any candles

Heck
I have tons of EB
All the same pattern.
16+ each of plates, bowls, side plates, pasta bowls. Have serving dishes etc etc. It's my everyday stuff. Does that mean I am a collector??

Teapots. I'm 29 and my family think it's more of an "older lady" type thing to collect so they regularly make fun of me for it!

@JaffaCakesAreAMealInABite you must be in Scotland (your mention of P1!!). I went to school in Scotland and 3 Kevin's in my class (but then again they will be late 40's now 😱)

Yep @Chickydoo you are indeed a collector 😂

Babyno5

@Chickydoo not just any collector @spellingtest says we are Classy Collectors 😂😂
