What did you collect as a child?

Football magazines for myself.

 

[Grand Koalafornian]

Rocks and mineralse

edit: how did I forget glass animals? My mom still has the display case my sisters and I filled up. We got one every time we went to Disneyland, as well as other places.

Grand Koalafornian, cute name , I also at one time, mostly as a teen, had some rocks and minerals.

Stickers. Loads and loads of sheets of stickers. Bonus points if they were Lisa Frank stickers.

Hahahaha...I used to collect old empty liquor and wine bottles and display them on my bureau in my grandparents' house in Wildwood. My Mom *hated* this, of course she did it was weird and inappropriate. One day I came back from an errand and they were just gone. I knew better than to ask what had happened.

On the more kid-friendly side, I collected small glass animals.

Glass animals - I used to get new ones at the county fair every year.

Stickers - I remember we used to trade them in school, and I think I still have my old sticker book somewhere.

I also still have a box of Return of the Jedi bubble gum cards.

Nothing really as a child, my mom wouldn't let me. But once I started making my own money, nail polish. I had over 200 bottles.

 

[RamblingMad]

Comics.

 

[Jimmy Mouse]

Spankings.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Nothing as a child. I did have a few collections as a young adult - Star Trek; t-shirts; earrings. But those have faded from interest.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

Fruit Stripe gum wrappers that I would fold together and make a chain. Loved the smell!

 

[NYCgrrl]

Collections of folk and fairy tales.
