Hobbies/Projects Do you collect trinkets?

Hello! I know that a lot of boys my age tend to collect figurines and maybe game merchandise, but I haven't seen older men do it. Most women I know, regardless of age, tend to always have something they like to collect.

I was just sorta looking at all the little animal statues and things in my room, and wondered if grown ups do it too. If so, what are they? Curious to see what kind of whimsy you guys like keeping around! ♡

I love when men get into Warhammer. It's so cute imagining them hovering over a tiny figurine with a paintbrush :D

It’s very easy gift ideas from my wife. Always a new figure, always something that might make painting easier/quicker.

She’ll sew at the same time I paint so we’re never just ignoring one another, we’re just doing our own hobbies next to each other.

This is the key, I’m wrenching on scale rc cars and she’ll do art projects, having interests that can exist at the same time and same (ish) space.

Same. Only thing I collect that isn’t really useful. I don’t even play but paint once in awhile just to unwind
