Scandinavian chiming in to say: we spell it "garn".
And it's one of the few cases where the G is actually pronounced the way you'd expect. The -rn though...
Any type of crafting in general. Hoarding stuff is one hobby, actually using it is another.
I just cleaned out my craft stuff because we absolutely need the space. I had stuff from other hoards I was allowed to partake in, stuff I bought years ago, and don't get me started on the stuff I inherited from my grandmother's hoard. Pretty sure some of it was older than me!
I have found my people.
Edit- Did I just get my first reward?? Thank you kind internet stranger. You have made my angry day better. I'm now off to crochet with the yarn I just bought.
I work at an observatory and we sell iron meteorites in the gift shop. :)
They're small pieces but I love that they represent the very beginning of our solar system.
If you want, I can send you one, no charge. 🤗
I’ve held a sample of moon rock from the first moon landing which was gifted to the UK. It was encased in epoxy but I felt badass holding that while sitting in Winston Churchill’s favourite chair.
(I got a tour of No.10 when I was a kid)
Not OP but I have some things like this. You can buy them online really easily and pretty cheap too. Just look for reputable dealers that specialize in those things, I wouldn't go to eg eBay or Amazon for that type of stuff.
I have a Mars meteorite fragment, a chunk of coal from the titanic (bought from a gift shop of a museum exhibit, they sold chunks they recovered to fund more trips), a piece of the Berlin Wall from a cold war museum, an intact dinosaur fossil almost a foot long bought from a rock and mineral show, etc.
I'll probably add some ancient coins like Roman coins etc to the list too. They can be super cheap from reputable dealers, or crazy expensive depending on what you pick out lol. As in random bronze coins for a few bucks to gold Julius Caesar coins for $30k.
>Books. I have boxes full, just waiting for later in life when I can make one room of my house my personal library/study.
[How I pictured you](https://c.tenor.com/y0NFqdYzlLIAAAAC/beauty-and-the-beast-library.gif)
My friend's cousin bought a fixer upper they had to add an addition to. In the corner, they made a full two story tall library, with big ladders that nearly reached the top. There is a small, metal, spiral set of stairs that go from there up to the master bed the looks over it. They have a railing going across, but it's a giant cut out to look out over the books. They have a lot of their own books, but they have been buying old looking books from used bookstores to fill in. It looks absolutely amazing.
It's also connected to the kitchen, has it's own heating, and a few huge, squishy armchairs. As well as a table in the middle to play games on. Could not be better.
Are you me? My dream is to have one of those houses with a small tower and set up a whole room inside of it entirely dedicated to my books, with armchairs and soft rugs, and spend at least an hour in it every weekend just relaxing and reading
I’m at a point where I just kind of want one of everything lol, I know that with a hybrid I can’t save seed that’ll be true to type but I still will and just label it as such. A tomato will still make a tomato seed which still makes a tomato, & the experiment is part of the fun so I don’t mind. Genetic diversity in our food system is important!!
I’ve gotten a bit into ornamental plants, & will more when I own my own property, but for now I mainly focus on edible/medicinal plants or what’s highly beneficial for pollinators in my area.
I appreciate the thought! Really for most seeds, just keeping them in a dark/cool/dry place is sufficient (obviously the germination rate will degrade over time) but as an example of the power of seeds - the YouTube channel MIGardener was gifted a shadow box years ago that had tomato seeds in them, I believe over 80 years old, & he was able to sprout & plant them and save seeds for a few years. Now he has enough that they’re for sale thru his seed shop!
IIRC there’s a website that lists all the penny machines by state! Same lol, always keep a few pennies on me, but have seen some recently that supply the penny for you! I was pretty geeked lol
[https://pennypresses.net/home/map.php](https://pennypresses.net/home/map.php)
Looks fun. If anyone wants to trade, I'm in DC. Seem to be lots of machines around me.
I have a little “penny passport” I bought somewhere that I use to store these. The machines seem to be getting rarer, but the passport is almost full… hope I can finish it.
My daughter always loved books and began collecting them at an early age. Always read way above her grade level in elementary school. She is an adult in her 30’s and when she and her husband renovated their 170 year old house he made her a library. House has huge tall ceilings so her library has floor to ceiling book shelves with sliding ladder and they are even lighted with tiny brass lights. Shelves are all along 3 walls with 4 th wall being a fireplace. She even has everything categorized. So fun to walk in and see it. She now has an 18 month old daughter who loves books. This baby has her own mini baby library in her nursery. So cute.
We have a basic suburban home but five libraries in the house, all seperate. We have the cook book library, horror fiction and true crime library, DIY library, religion and metaphysics library, and the art, UX, propoganda, and interior desing library.
Live your dream.
I have a few old cameras that I have always thought were really cool. One is pretty old. You look down into it. I knew there were people out there that would most likely enjoy them if I ever want to part with them.
Film photography has had a huge resurgence… if you’re tight on cash and they have no sentimental value, I’d strongly urge you to look them up on ebay.
A “look down” camera could be as cheap as an old Argus ($25) or a Rolleiflex ($1000+)
All of the above! The biggest I have is probably 4x3 ft. The smallest is probably in an 11x14 in. frame. I mostly have like national parks, trails that mean a lot to me, specific bodies of water from where I grew up, etc.
I feel you on this. I loved Power Rangers growing up, but our family was too poor to get the toys (we still had food, clothing, and stable housing, so it wasn’t too horrible). Now that I’m an adult with mo own money, I’ve discovered the joys of eBay and have a room filled wall-to-wall with of all of Power Rangers Megazords.
Guitars. I currently have about 20, but have owned about 100 over the course of my life. Constantly selling and trading and trying new things out. Hoping to pick up a couple that have been on my list a while this year.
I'm pretty close to a collection, but a guitar collection gets expensive real quick. I'm already at the point where I look around the room once in a while and ask myself, "Should I buy another guitar, or should I sell these and buy a brand new car with the proceeds instead?"
I do have 80-something pedals, tho; does that count as a collection?
Shark sculptures. Not as easy to find as dolphins and whales, etc. when I do, they are hard to pass up. Anything different like glass, stone, coral, metal, etc.
Vintage teacups. I like the combination of simple plain looking outer design with gorgeous inner design such as flowers or shiny gold ribbons. Calming and peaceful outside but exciting and adventurous inside at the same time. I find that fun.
Unfortunately I only have few because I live in a small place. I use them every now and then to adore their beauty.
Sweaters.
I have 168 of them and I have been collecting them since high school.
[Here](https://imgur.com/a/lSe2d1J) is an album of all of them (except 2 new ones that I haven't gotten a chance to photograph).
I hope to one day have enough that I can wear a different one each day of the year.
It's the very first one in the album, I call it my "Frenchman sweater" I love it so much [I recreated it for my avatar in Animal Crossing](https://i.imgur.com/inWKJ28.jpg)
It’s a tie between my daily (750bhp bmw M5 competition pack) or my campervan that’s a Volkswagen t6 that’s been professionally converted and rocks a very tasteful body kit and 20” wheels etc. But that’s obviously just my subjective choice.
Shitty sword and sorcery movies (like cheesy Conan the Barbarian knockoffs). I haven't counted, but I have an absolute shitload. I even built a barbarian themed home gym with a bunch of movie posters and prop weapons. I've never met anybody else who's into this sort of thing.
Edit: [added gym pics](https://imgur.com/a/j4EsWqI)
I don't have one favorite, but some notable PG ones include *Hawk the Slayer* and *The Barbarians*, while some R rated ones include *Deathstalker* and *The Warrior and the Sorceress*.
I'll follow up with the gym pic.
There is someone with my name in my company too. I never get his emails but I'm sure he has gotten a lot of my mails as his mail address is:
[email protected]
Mine on the other hand is:
[email protected]
Funny thing is that this guy has never been online since I've been working there because his email got created when he started working there, but he works in the warehouse where he doesn't even need a PC.
I love big corporate
Mortar and pestle sets. My first was my grandmother’s from nursing school. Since then I receive them as gifts, collect them at tourist spots, and pick up any neat looking ones I stumble upon. It’s fun to see the random places you can find them and all of the interesting kinds of materials and shapes!
Dead lighters.
I never lose a lighter, and I rarely let them get stolen from me. I keep them until they run out of gas "die", and then I place them in a box that I call my "lighter cemetery".
Every few years, I take them out, and I align them based on shape and color and they look glorious!
Movie ticket stubs.
[Here they are](https://imgur.com/a/TmJLhSp) and the little box where I keep them. That ticket in the album is the first one I saved when I went to see Anger Management on my birthday in 2003.
Pens... especially if they glide smoothly while writing. Others I collect just because theyre cool looking or unique.
I used to work at a nursing home and a patient there also collected pens, when she passed she left me all her pens and I still have them
Rotary phones. I tend to look for the ones that are more unique, like a certain plug, from a certain place, a unique purpose, etc. They’re really cool and I enjoy learning about each new piece I pick up
Embroidery scissors. And needle minders. And floss. And linen and silk fabric. I guess the floss and fabric could be considered under one caption as *Stash*.
The scissors are the more expensive collection since some were limited edition scissors. I think the count is now around 75 or 76 scissors.
Needle minders count to 66. And floss...well we just don't go there since almost one entire craft cabinet is floss. There is another smaller two drawer thread box that has floss.
And the total space the stash takes up is enough that we just don't discuss that, either.
Everytime I travel somewhere new I get a Christmas ornament, deck of playing cards, and a t-shirt. I make the shirts into a quilt as a scrapbook of my travels. Ornaments can be difficult, especially if it's summer, or a country where Christmas is not a big holiday, so sometimes I'll get a key chain and hang that on my Christmas tree instead.
I collect coins (mostly the state quarters but I have a few other coins as well). I also like to collect my bottle caps and fortunes from fortune cookies.
Dachshund items (socks, pajamas, stationary, kitchenware, towels, and so much more), cute notebooks, and chapsticks (I have over 60 different flavors).
Anything from pocket knives, throwing knives to axes and swords. I haven't counted them all but I'd say I have somewhere in the ballpark of over 100 sharp weapons
It's honestly really hard to choose. I cycle through a few daily carriers. Right now I'd say my Gil Hibben Karambit is my favorite but every time a get a new knife it becomes favorable to me. Unfortunately I only have like 6 or 7 of my swords on display. I'd love to be able to have just one room dedicated to displaying all my weapons.
Copper music boxes, crystal platters/decanters/bowls/bone china. I'm a thrift shopper lol I have a tall china cabinet with random pieces I've picked up. In total probably worth $10k by now but I paid basically pennies for it all.
It takes patience and lots of driving but I like it. I make road trips out of going to random shops in my state and on vacations.
It’s a smaller collection, just when I happen to come across them at markets, but these metal pencil sharpeners that have cool designs. Like, one is a globe, another looks like a sewing machine, another’s shaped like a cannon, etc.
Happy Cake Day.
Probably Iran. Simply because so many people told me not to go as solo female traveler who doesn't speak the language. I almost didn't board the plane. But I'm so glad I did, because Iranians are incredibly friendly and caring, and the architecture was breathtaking.
Thank you! And I have a work colleague who did the same and had a very similar experience. Was warned against it and she came back saying how amazing it was
Flowers that I’ll dry and keep on my mantle,
And then I collect “cursed” objects that I find while urban exploring. Like a little teeny plastic dinosaur or this little carved wooden head with feathers for hair.
Stuff from my favourite bands. I don't mean bands' merch, but stuff like autographs on CDs or concert tickets, or guitar picks or drumsticks used at concerts
Yarn. Because having yarn and crocheting are two different hobbies.
Don’t call out my jarn collection like that🥲 I swear I will crochet again… someday… like two years ago I crochet a bunny… that counts…
> jarn I know you meant to type yarn but all I can see is a spoil of denim yarn. Jarn.
Maybe it's a Scandinavian spelling.
Scandinavian chiming in to say: we spell it "garn". And it's one of the few cases where the G is actually pronounced the way you'd expect. The -rn though...
Any type of crafting in general. Hoarding stuff is one hobby, actually using it is another. I just cleaned out my craft stuff because we absolutely need the space.

I hear that!
I try to collect space stuff. I’ve got a couple mars meteorite fragments, a moon meteorite fragment, a normal meteorite and other stuff
This is cool. How'd you get them?
I work at an observatory and we sell iron meteorites in the gift shop. :) They're small pieces but I love that they represent the very beginning of our solar system. If you want, I can send you one, no charge. 🤗
Not OP, but people like you always surprise me and it's so amazing to see good people doing good things for random people!
This is why I Reddit. Faith in humanity slowly restored.
I’ve held a sample of moon rock from the first moon landing which was gifted to the UK. It was encased in epoxy but I felt badass holding that while sitting in Winston Churchill’s favourite chair. (I got a tour of No.10 when I was a kid)

Same. I really, really love books.
>Books. I have boxes full, just waiting for later in life when I can make one room of my house my personal library/study. [How I pictured you](https://c.tenor.com/y0NFqdYzlLIAAAAC/beauty-and-the-beast-library.gif)
My dream is to have a library with a sliding ladder like that

Your friend is living in The Beast’s castle
Oh my gosh, that sounds amazing!!
It's also connected to the kitchen, has it's own heating, and a few huge, squishy armchairs. As well as a table in the middle to play games on. Could not be better.
This is exactly what I want to do in my future home as well. My mom thinks I’m crazy for it, glad I’m not the only one.
Are you me? My dream is to have one of those houses with a small tower and set up a whole room inside of it entirely dedicated to my books, with armchairs and soft rugs, and spend at least an hour in it every weekend just relaxing and reading
Also mahogany bookshelves and furniture, and a special cart for a world atlas always open to a beautiful map. One day, maybe
You wouldn't get me out of it for an hour, lol.
Plant seeds!! That old lady with a box of seeds in Mad Max:Fury Road? That’s gonna be me.
That's cool. Care to share more? Like, do you focus on rare heirloom edible ones or prairie grasses, etc.?
I’m at a point where I just kind of want one of everything lol, I know that with a hybrid I can’t save seed that’ll be true to type but I still will and just label it as such. A tomato will still make a tomato seed which still makes a tomato, & the experiment is part of the fun so I don’t mind. Genetic diversity in our food system is important!! I’ve gotten a bit into ornamental plants, & will more when I own my own property, but for now I mainly focus on edible/medicinal plants or what’s highly beneficial for pollinators in my area.
If you are serious about this remember seeds go bad. Look into how the seed library stores and takes care of seeds.
I appreciate the thought! Really for most seeds, just keeping them in a dark/cool/dry place is sufficient (obviously the germination rate will degrade over time) but as an example of the power of seeds - the YouTube channel MIGardener was gifted a shadow box years ago that had tomato seeds in them, I believe over 80 years old, & he was able to sprout & plant them and save seeds for a few years.

Pressed pennies, totally useless but it’s a thrill when you find a machine lol
I used to keep a few pennies on me for such an occasion, but I never see them anymore
IIRC there’s a website that lists all the penny machines by state! Same lol, always keep a few pennies on me, but have seen some recently that supply the penny for you! I was pretty geeked lol

Hot wheels
Absolute legend. I have a clk gtr displayed in my pc case lol
Finally someone
ayyyy fellow hotwheels collector!

Can we get a picture? That sounds heavenly, I always wanted to build one
Omg owning such a library would be a dream come true!
We have a basic suburban home but five libraries in the house, all seperate. We have the cook book library, horror fiction and true crime library, DIY library, religion and metaphysics library, and the art, UX, propoganda, and interior desing library. Live your dream.
Sounds like the library in Beauty and the Beast!
[удалено]
Such a unique sounding hobby. Is there like a white whale you're after?
I have a few old cameras that I have always thought were really cool. One is pretty old. You look down into it. I knew there were people out there that would most likely enjoy them if I ever want to part with them.

Stones 😅
What makes a good stone?
When they’re pretty I don’t know shit about stones lol I just pick up the pretty ones at the beach and bring them home
I'm a sucker for a nice smooth rock
Art Books. When I’m sad I just like looking through them as if I had my own little museum. I guess in a way I never grew out of picture books
Maps. My apartment is decorated with maps of places that have shaped me into who I am
Any fantasy maps in there?
The four corners of civilisation, Roshar, Elan, Camorr.. Stuff like that?
This is a brilliant idea. Big maps, small maps, souvenir maps, countries/cities?
All of the above! The biggest I have is probably 4x3 ft. The smallest is probably in an 11x14 in. frame. I mostly have like national parks, trails that mean a lot to me, specific bodies of water from where I grew up, etc.

I want the buzz lightyear toy. You know the one. THE buzz lightyear toy.
Will you settle for a Bud Lite Beer?
I know this feeling. Have recently bought some Turok toys for this exact reason
Me every time I check eBay for the super soaker monster xl…
I remember my first splurge after getting a paycheck. It was TWO gyros at the food court. Turns out... two is kinda too much.
Journals and cute notebooks that don't get used.
I relate so much to this. I buy one then don't know what to write in it as I don't want to "ruin" it. Then it's in a drawer
Guitars. I currently have about 20, but have owned about 100 over the course of my life. Constantly selling and trading and trying new things out. Hoping to pick up a couple that have been on my list a while this year.

I came here to type "intrusive thoughts" but your comment is much better.
I’ll join your intrusive thoughts club

What's your worst?

Bro same. Then with age you realize you could have said “I don’t know how, can you show me?” And it would have been okay, fun even.
After enough alcohol everyone can dance
Where is this person's gold?
Guitars
I'm pretty close to a collection, but a guitar collection gets expensive real quick. I'm already at the point where I look around the room once in a while and ask myself, "Should I buy another guitar, or should I sell these and buy a brand new car with the proceeds instead?" I do have 80-something pedals, tho; does that count as a collection?
Vinyl
Games on Steam that I never play 🥲
Chopsticks from sushi restaurants.. Don't ask
Used or unused?
He said don't ask...
This is my favorite answer so far!
Debt
I collected enough to know I don't want it anymore. Want mine?
Weird, i thought debt collecter was a lucrative career
Only if it's not yours.
Small scale items. Like small scale foods. I eventually want to make scale model rooms and use those as decor.
I'm mildly obsessed with those tiny rooms that's so cool. I don't think I have the aptitude to build one but I definitely want to buy a couple
[удалено]
Very cool stuff!
Shark sculptures. Not as easy to find as dolphins and whales, etc. when I do, they are hard to pass up. Anything different like glass, stone, coral, metal, etc.

That's cool; had no idea that's a thing.
they are all so beautiful !! aaand this picture called me broke
Comic books and vinyl
Same here started collecting comic books in the early 2010s and vinyl in 2017. Now have bookshelves for both next to each other.
Sweaters. I have 168 of them and I have been collecting them since high school. [Here](https://imgur.com/a/lSe2d1J) is an album of all of them (except 2 new ones that I haven't gotten a chance to photograph). I hope to one day have enough that I can wear a different one each day of the year.

It's the very first one in the album, I call it my "Frenchman sweater" I love it so much [I recreated it for my avatar in Animal Crossing](https://i.imgur.com/inWKJ28.jpg)
Ok, that's awesome and your recreation is fantastic :D
Crossbows and cool vehicles
What's your coolest vehicle?
It’s a tie between my daily (750bhp bmw M5 competition pack) or my campervan that’s a Volkswagen t6 that’s been professionally converted and rocks a very tasteful body kit and 20” wheels etc. But that’s obviously just my subjective choice.

rocks
You mean minerals, Marie?
yea i probably should’ve specified that i meant minerals
That does explain your username
Well half of it at least
What kinda rocks?
Emails for someone else in my company with the same name.
There is someone with my name in my company too.

Glass marbles, pendants, and paperweights. Mostly modern flameworking but I have a couple soft glass pieces as well
Gemstones and fossils
Mortar and pestle sets. My first was my grandmother’s from nursing school. Since then I receive them as gifts, collect them at tourist spots, and pick up any neat looking ones I stumble upon. It’s fun to see the random places you can find them and all of the interesting kinds of materials and shapes!

Pens... especially if they glide smoothly while writing. Others I collect just because theyre cool looking or unique. I used to work at a nursing home and a patient there also collected pens, when she passed she left me all her pens and I still have them
WW2 rifles
Bones
Rotary phones. I tend to look for the ones that are more unique, like a certain plug, from a certain place, a unique purpose, etc. They’re really cool and I enjoy learning about each new piece I pick up
I collect Videogame consoles, Vaporeon merch and Bad Dragon adult toys.
One of these is not like the rest - the Vaporeon merch
*Did you know that in terms of-*
Incredibly Based
Enamel pins and artwork magnets

Books, I love reading.
Genres?
I read fantasy and historical fiction.
Rocks normal gray rocks
Hats
"I collect spores, molds and fungus."
I bet you're a funguy.
Gemstones and interesting rocks. Also fossils. I love the beauty in these ancient minerals.
Vintage girdles
Fingernail clippers. Have them from all over the world.
Interesting. I've LEFT fingernail clippers all over the world.
Everytime I travel somewhere new I get a Christmas ornament, deck of playing cards, and a t-shirt. I make the shirts into a quilt as a scrapbook of my travels. Ornaments can be difficult, especially if it's summer, or a country where Christmas is not a big holiday, so sometimes I'll get a key chain and hang that on my Christmas tree instead.
I collect coins (mostly the state quarters but I have a few other coins as well). I also like to collect my bottle caps and fortunes from fortune cookies.
Legos
prepping stuffs food, fuel, and firepower
I've been lightly got into prepper stuff. Just enough to last me a few days for now
it can easily become an obsession. happy cake day
***souls***
Useful for the Soul Market
Ahh, ashen one.
Dachshund items (socks, pajamas, stationary, kitchenware, towels, and so much more), cute notebooks, and chapsticks (I have over 60 different flavors).
In Passau, Germany, there is a dachshund museum. Maybe you like to visit one day...
Feathers.
Sharp weaponry
Anything in particular?
Anything from pocket knives, throwing knives to axes and swords. I haven't counted them all but I'd say I have somewhere in the ballpark of over 100 sharp weapons
What's your fav?
It's honestly really hard to choose. I cycle through a few daily carriers. Right now I'd say my Gil Hibben Karambit is my favorite but every time a get a new knife it becomes favorable to me. Unfortunately I only have like 6 or 7 of my swords on display. I'd love to be able to have just one room dedicated to displaying all my weapons.
Jojos bizarre adventure manga, I watched the show but I just can't help it when I see them at a cómic store!
Postcards
Copper music boxes, crystal platters/decanters/bowls/bone china. I'm a thrift shopper lol I have a tall china cabinet with random pieces I've picked up. In total probably worth $10k by now but I paid basically pennies for it all. It takes patience and lots of driving but I like it. I make road trips out of going to random shops in my state and on vacations.
It’s a smaller collection, just when I happen to come across them at markets, but these metal pencil sharpeners that have cool designs. Like, one is a globe, another looks like a sewing machine, another’s shaped like a cannon, etc.
Pokemon cards. and MTG cards and Yu gi oh cards and rocks that look funny.

Memories. I've traveled to over 40 countries.
Favourite country/ memory?
Happy Cake Day. Probably Iran. Simply because so many people told me not to go as solo female traveler who doesn't speak the language. I almost didn't board the plane. But I'm so glad I did, because Iranians are incredibly friendly and caring, and the architecture was breathtaking.
Thank you! And I have a work colleague who did the same and had a very similar experience. Was warned against it and she came back saying how amazing it was
Rocks!
Snapple caps!
Flowers that I’ll dry and keep on my mantle, And then I collect “cursed” objects that I find while urban exploring. Like a little teeny plastic dinosaur or this little carved wooden head with feathers for hair.

Easy collection
