Any collectors of lip balms or other random 'everyday' items?

    I love kitchen stuff, mugs, plates, bowls, glasses etc. I only ever buy 1 of each so its all nicely mis-matched :D

    Thats what the lady at the counter said :D the thing is though, the packaging is so appealing, I feel I'd spoil it by opening them! their still sitting there unopened :blush:

    I like the little miniature metal tubs ones. Carmex original. All 100% masculine obviously ;-)

    Just the ones I could find! This is an old photo aswell, it's probably doubled now!
    It's not intentional though, if I can't find one and i'm in town, I just get a new one. Most are at home/in my uni house/in my car/in bags

    I love me some lip balm. My fave one in my collection is my Barack Obama lip balm. Yeah you heard that right. I saw it in a Washington DC gift shop and almost died.

    I also got a new one from Primark of the Feast lolly. I never knew you could get something like that so I almost died again.

    The lipsmacker ones of the fizzy drinks are awesome, I just want to eat them all!

    I collect various bottles of shower gels.

    I'm on a ban atm till we've worked our way through them.
    I'll keep the empties though :blush:

    I use to have a huge collection of shampoos and conditioners (always trying to get nice hair), but I've given up now.

    lip balm?! Why would you collect lip balm?! :D

    I get it when someone collects something with some sort of rarity, or value, but collecting some commercial, disposable product like lip balm, is lost on me.

    I went through a brief phase of collecting the lids off my beer bottles but eventually threw them away when I realised I was just adding to my already quite cluttered house. I did count up how many of each I had though, over 100 desperadoes, 70+ koppabergs, 64 of the brasserie range from tesco, and 30+ of the wychwood range (beers such as hobgoblin, very tasty).... I'm not an alcoholic though lol, these were saved over a period of about 8 months.

    Because I like the packaging/labels and the scents (especially the Lipsmacker range) and they look pretty when their all sat next to each other.

    I have other collections worth a lot more though, like my childhood Disneyana collection and so on.

    I collect hats. I'm like magpie for them. They are so beautiful. :blush: I never wear any of them out, except for my straw trilby and straw cowboy hat on holiday. Though I do sit in the house sometimes with one perched on my head :blush::blush::blush::D

    I collect nail varnishes, brooches, chunky rings. I've had to stop myself from collecting teapots, I have too many and nowhere to put them! In the past I have also collected vases, jugs and items of green glass.

    But now I'm at the stage where I wonder, what's it all for? Why do we like to collect things? Will this compulsion never end?
