Just about anything as long as it is pink.

Books.

I know it's a not uncommon answer, but my reason might be different.

Once I read a book, it is part of me, and I a part of it, so giving it up feels like a personal loss.

I collect dust. (Just ask my ex-wife.)

Seriously, though, I collect coins and stamps to some extent. And like Mearth, I have a very hard time parting with a book.

I collect bellybutton rings, and I have around 100 in my collection.

Hello everyone. I collect an antique glassware called "Boopie". I looked through all the post and didn't see anyone else who specifically collected this particular glass. I've purchased pieces in antique stores, thrift stores, yard sales, flea markets, and auctions across 7 states.

I also have several pieces of McCoy pottery and a full set of original Fiesta.
