**People collect all sorts of different things - from stuffed animals to snow globes to handicrafts.
I had a consultant whose wife bought these unique , quirky , cute teapots from her travels and she had them displayed in her dining room. I thought that was a cute idea…
I love collecting fridge magnets…its cheap and you can find them almost everywhere , even at the last minute at the airport…its easy to carry :D…I’ve got a huge collection from flowers , city names or landmarks to masquerade masks.
Almost every single country i visited, always boutght some small souvenier of such shape that any one could recognize where it came from just by looking at it. All that collection i keep in my parent's home in Pakistan in their living room. Never spent more than 10 to 20 USD on average on any of these things but is a great collection of more than 20 items which gets a keen look from every one.
Something unique to that country or culture is always good.
When I was 17 I travelled to a lot of places and collected dust/soil/mud in tin mint boxes. I still keep those tins. One day when I pass from this World I will be buried with a bit of every place I went to and if I am buried in a foriegn land then (Insah Allah) I will still have a little bit of Pakistan with me.
I also like collecting small pebbles and rocks stones. I used to keep smooth stones in my mouth and always kept stones in my pockets as a child… I still pride myself on having one hell of a throw… I love skipping pebbles across water and throwing stones at crows, though back home the targets were Vultures and so easier to hit.

Mirch bhai thats an impressive collection you have there...
My Shayk forbid me from collecting anymore heads after made a mountain bigger than the one upon which he resides. Curiously how did you get the skin off and shrink them like that to make a necklace of skulls... I think it suits you...
