I used to like getting free buttons and pins.

But now that I'm older and what started as a "little" collection is approaching semi-organized pack rack levels...
I like Stickers/Decals followed by postcards.

Small and thin and I can put in a little scrapbook.
Stickers take up less room

I do have a small box of cool pens/pencils going back about 16 years.
And bigger boxes of buttons/pins to name a few of my "collections"

LOL, my other half has been coming home with lots of pharmaceutical pens. I think they're from taking his mom to the doctors a few times a week.

Magnets, but not the little vinyl type. I like the magnets with enough power to hold several sheets of paper at one time.
Also, ink pens. I hate spending money for a pen to use everyday. I keep some of the better pens, but, like to use the freebies around the house.
