Hairsticks. Postcards. Unintentionally, cats.
Note that both hairsticks and postcards are small. Spouse collects about 50 different things, some of which are not small. I approve of spouse's spoon collection due to its size and have been trying to help with that when I buy souvenirs.

Shot glasses. I started collecting them when I realized I would travel and never bring any souvenirs back with me, and shot glasses seemed like a cheap option. Of course, my enormous collection makes our study look like it's occupied by a frat, but whatever.

Oh, god, and shot glasses, too (my spouse's collection). This thread is making me realize how much of a pack rat I refuse to admit I am. In my defense, none of my stuff is displayed. |

Best shot glass was purchased at the Vatican gift shop with the likeness of John Paul engraved into it. |

Ricordi opera posters. Not the originals, of course.
Back when I had 2 black cats, I almost started collecting anything that referenced black cats, but then I had to move. And then later one black kitty passed away, so the spell is broken.

I also have a wicked good toy collection in my office. Quite a few of the toys are still in their original packaging. I have a collection of Pez dispensers, a Homer Simpson watch a Magic Ball just to name a few.

I collect Céramique de Beauce (aka Beauceware) pottery.
My collection is rather spare, but I do love it.

The SO collects matchbooks (among other things, and I remember listening to Henry Rollins do a great commentary on men and collections on one of his spoken word CDs. We were in the car on a day trip when we listened to it for the first time. One story included "why men like to collect stuff" as part of a general musing on the living habits of men and women. When Rollins got to the part where he pointed out how a man will collect shot glasses or matchbooks and then show you his collection, proudly, I almost wet myself laughing.
"Look", Rollins' story went, acting out the part of proud collector, "80 matchbooks where I fought and puked in! Let's Look at them!" I keeled over laughing, poking the SO (who was driving) and shouting "my GOD! It's you!" while he tried to keep a straight face.
When we got home, I went and looked at the tins and glasses filled with matches from bars around the world and started laughing again.
I don't think he's forgiven me, yet.
