Anyone start a "collection"?

DH and I want to have a special "collection" for each child. We were thinking about starting a coin collection for Chat Icon

But I was hoping for maybe some other ideas.

Anyone have ideas to share? Chat Icon

TIA!

I love this idea but can't seem to zero in on one either.

We started a Lenox Disney collection for Genevieve. Actually, I started it for myself, but decided it would be OURS, and then when she moves out or gets married, I will give it to her.

My DS will have a coin collection. My DH has been collecting his whole life, so that will be passed on to him, and now he receives new sets every year.Chat Icon

I buy each of my boys the newest released Disney DVD for either Valentines or Easter.....
Someone here recently mentioned collecting Baseball cards for their son which I thought was a really cute idea.

This is the idea I've been toying with too. I want to do something, definitely.

We started a Lionel train collection for Andy. For Sarah we do Swarovski flowers.

Niecey posted that she gets the annual complete set of baseball cards for her boys which I think is great.

Re: Anyone start a "collection"?

Thinking about the Hess trucks, I just don't know if I want to take up all that room with them.

I'll probably do Christmas ornaments as well.

Re: Anyone start a "collection"?

My parents gave her coins for Christmas, but I never really paid attention to them...so I'm assuming that's the start of her "collection".
