Answer 1

you can collect the quarters of the U.S. each state has a quarter and i only have three left to go Hahahaha yes!

Answer 2

Try beanie babies.  Collect from different types: bears, horses, birds and more. The good thing is it doesn't take up too much room.  When you get bored, you can sell them.

Answer 3

It really depends on what your interests are and how much room you have for a collection.

Music and movies are basic likes that are cool to collect for.  

If you like music, you can collect vinyls of your favorite bands.  You can find stuff like that at tag sales and flea markets for reasonable prices.  You can also collect band t-shirts of your favorite groups.  These can be bought at the many stores that sell them and at concerts you go to for keepsakes.  Even buying local band's merch can be fun.  You can display them in frames they sell specifically for t-shirts if you want and show off your collection.  This type of thing would be fun in a rec room or game room type of atmosphere.

Collecting DVDs can be fun too.  My boyfriend collects them and takes great pride in hunting down bargains, finding special editions and getting more and more shelf space for his collection.

If you like a specific country's culture and customs, you can collect items from that country.  I love Japan so I have so many beautiful fans, pairs of chopsticks, bowls, purses and clothing items, parasols, movies, books, and of course tons of anime products.  I'll be going there next year so I'll be adding quite a bit to my collection!

I've also collected many types of trading cards in the past.  Those are fun AND compact if you don't have a ton of room to display your collection, unless you want to display some of your favorites and most rare in cases.

Clothes are another fun thing to collect, if you're the type of person that enjoys clothes shopping as opposed to people who just throw whatever on and don't much care what they wear.  That's a fun collection to have AND practical.  You can get amazing pieces at vintage shops for a fair price.  And there are so many things to get, shirts, pants, skirts, shoes, belts, hats, the sky is the limit.  Of course, this is only if you have plenty of closet space.

Think of something long term, something you won't grow out of.  What's something that has always interested you?  Something you've always been drawn to?  I'm sure you'll think of something fun and fulfilling to collect!  Good luck and let us know if you decide on something!

Answer 4

I collect Stones/Crystals. You don't have to have any money to start with........Your collection can be as tiny or as large as you allow it. You could also (aquire a rock tumbler) branch off into making jewelry if you like crafts.

Answer 5

Business cards. They are free and don't take up much space. Even if you decide you don't want to collect them anymore, you can sell them on E-bay. No joke! People pay a lot of money for business card collections.

Answer 6

Collect money then you'll be rich.

Actually you could collect banknotes from foreign countries.

Answer 7

I love to travel. And everytime I go somewhere even if its I the same country I live in I bring something back from there.you should try it. You'll want to travel more

Answer 8

Just collect something you like that is unique. I like movies so I collect hollagrams of movies. Some people like calling them pocket movies .

Answer 9

Best thing to do is to collect what you like best, second next best thing to collect is things that are very available to you and the third thing to consider are things that are affordable to you.  Go along those lines and you should do wonderful.  Oh and don't try to overload yourself the first few months or years.  Collecting takes forever!
