Me too, I love ladybugs! I even have a ladybug tattoo. I don't even remember how I started collecting ladybugs, now that I think of it.

I also collect decorative/painted plates from every city I visit. Actually, I collect these for my mom as I send them all to her. She enjoys displaying them in her house and sharing with others all the places I have visited.

I collect bottle openers, I started about 10 years ago and every time I visit a new place I try to get one.

... shot glasses... from every place I (we) visit...

 

Matt also collects (or rather, his daughter does) spoons (from places he/she has visited)

 

Both real originals, I know... lol

I am really looking forward to buying a cool "Honeymoon" related ornament in Hawaii! What do you collect and why?

shot glasses! So easy to get, and great memories of places! Sometimes we take sand in a little glass bottle from places too...

Hooter's t shirts... whatever city I go to, or anyone I know...I have them get me a Hooter's t shirt. Not sure why, but I like how it has the city on the shirt...

Yeah, Im generic. I collect shot glasses too. I have a few hundred of them. I get them from everywhere I go, and everywhere everyone else goes too. They are cheap to collect.

 

I also collect the dust that collects on my shot glasses. Does that count
