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?

I collect Discworld ornaments. I still crave the Great A’Tuin one, but that won’t be happening this side of a lottery win.
I also collect silver Charles Rennie MacIntosh jewellery which apparently is more acceptable

I have a few collections but the one I am slightly embarrassed, and hardly anyone knows is Tarot card decks (I don't read them and I don't really believe in it).

Full face tatt Kevin can have pride of place . My cousin collects snow globes, she's got over 300, including one that's actually a JPG scent bottle. DPs mum collects place-souvenir fridge magnets, I love looking at them!

I run the work tea boat & always have loads of change. I saved two 50ps for a colleague the other week- a VC one and a soldiery one, I think.

Just so you know @babyno5 EB website has 25% off

Marbles. Because I'm always losing mine.

Jellycat soft toys

I also collect Enid Blyton books. I finally have a full set of the hard back Adventure series, I've been collecting those for years and finally got hold of the last one (Mountain of Adventure) in a second hand book shop last year. They're not first editions (well, one is) but I don't collect them for that.

I am now collecting a particular version of the Famous Five books, I've got the whole series about three times over in various editions, and am trying to complete the series in one particular version. I've only got about 3 books in that one though!

I also collect Power Ranger toys, green ranger mainly but can be persuaded to buy pink and white ranger stuff too.

I also collect beanie boo and me to you teddies. Forgot about them as they are packed away ready to move

@Newyearnewme2019 I know! 2 orders placed step away from the keyboard 😂😂

Fridge magnets, I have to buy one whenever I go away

Anything related to Wonder Woman. (This predates the 2017 film)

Pictures of fire hydrants around the world!

Tents, I have a broad selection, suitable for anything from a family holiday to wild camping in the hills (plus some extra ones)

...and I am planning my next buy!

Glad to see there are some other Chalet School collectors on Mn! I've have just started a new shelf as I have branched out to the Abbey series as well.

Engagement and wedding rings.........

People called "Daniel", "Danny", "Dan" or any other variety thereof.

It's been kind of a running gag ever since I once managed this particular project that involved no less than five of them.

Whenever I happen to run into a new one, I'm sure to get at least one email congratulating me on the new addition to my vast collection.

Stuffed toys of my favourite animal

Enid Blyton books, I have hundreds probably close to a thousand of varying age and type. I buy them up even when I know I have the exact copy at home. My husband rolls his eyes at me, although he can't talk with his mega comic book collection.

I also collect Beryl ware (am partial to Jasmine and Iris too).

And the creepy pickle/veg head pots.. my sister absolutely hates them

Ooh and I've also been on the look out for Sweet Valley High, Babysitters club and point horror books. A reminder of my teenage years.

HelloDoris I love those veg face pots. I've got lots.

I don't have any weird collections but one of my cousins collects taxidermy.
Actually some are birds and are stunning.

@Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies I collect Chalet School books as well! Thought I was the only one. I need to have a major book clear out but they are exempt

Trainers, I have a large box full, mostly Nike's and Nike Jordan's. I am also ashamed to admit this as they are hated on here but I collect reborn dolls . I got my first one when I was about 7 and I've collected them ever since. They are hid away in a cupboard and not on display to creep people out may I add!

I’m another Chalet fan! Recently bought a Chambers edition of The Chalet School Goes To It just to see if one word was different than in the e-version I had. It wasn’t.

I have a star wars room.....full size stormtrooper, snowtrooper, biker, scout, boba fett, Han in carbonite etc.
It raises eyebrows.

Currently I mostly collect Hard Rock Cafe magnets - but only the ones that double up as bottle openers, with a strong preference for those that are in the shape of guitars....

Previous collections include:

London 2012 pins (collection still not complete argh)
London 2012 50ps
Royal Mail annual Yearpacks (my dad still gets me one every year for Christmas)
Old postcards of various places that I have lived / are important to me
Sugar packets
Bracelet charms (of places)
Teaspoons
Stickers
Erasers
Beanie babies
Garbage Pail Kids cards

I suspect that's pretty outing but not worth a NC!
