What do your alters collect or buy?

I’m carrying this over from r/DID because everyone seemed to enjoy it and I’m curious what older adults collect vs younger.

I have collections from alters of yarn, vintage jewelry, pen nibs, expensive art supplies (oh, so much), sheet music, useless piano tuning parts hidden in a storage room, genealogy and for some reason I keep cords.

I rarely crochet, do art or calligraphy, wear jewelry, play the piano (I even have a nice grand piano), rarely tune pianos anymore and am triggered by the genealogy for the time being. I remember the feelings when these items became collections and it felt good.

Besides collections, I have a middle of the night shopper so I get random packages I know I didn’t order, but an app tells me otherwise. One time I got a $.06 sea turtle ring, spoon rest, 1x1” keyboard cleaning brush, a wooden bookshelf puzzle and some poorly made sweaters from Temu which made even my little grandkids giggle with delight and wonderment.

I would love to hear what you collect, or something funny “you” purchased.
