Not everyone enjoys collecting stamps and coins, some folks are out here building tiny museums of pure chaos and charm. We’re talking presidential stickers, bird-shaped pins, and dolls. You name it, someone’s probably lovingly collecting it. And the best part? They’re proud of it, and honestly, we kind of are, too. It’s like a peek into someone’s joyful little corner of the universe.

So today, we’ve rounded up some of the most bizarrely delightful collections people have shared online. Whether they’re rooted in sweet nostalgia, fueled by oddly specific obsessions, or just the result of “it started as a joke and now I can’t stop,” these collections prove one thing: passion doesn’t have to be practical to be perfect.

#7 Small Stones I’ve Found In My Everyday Life

All of my life I’ve felt drawn to tiny stones, wherever I am. If you kneel down anywhere outside that’s solid ground, youll find them eventually. So basically sometimes I feel like until I find these stones, they’ve never been “seen”, and I’m the first human to actually look at them. And for some reason that possibility fills me with peace.

I found all of these stones myself in parking lots, gravel roads, construction sites, hikes, baseball fields, riverbeds, and all the places in between, over the last 10 years or so.

#10 Telechron Kitchen Clocks

I had a broken Telechron clock for 20 years, then one day I decided I was going to fix it. I found a YouTube video and that begun a serious addiction. Its been 3 months since I bought my last clock. Sometimes I lay in bed at night and I loose track of time, then I start to itch, I cant stop looking at the clock, how much sleep will I get? What if someone just listed another clock? Should I get on in every color? Why does the bird say cuckoo and not tweet tweet? Where is Greenwich? Why does the Navy get to keep the official time?

#11 My Pigeon Pins

I keep these cuties seperate from my main collection, as I have indoor pet pigeons and they’re very special to me. I’m going to continue amassing as many pigeon pins as I can, because as you can see written in the image, “I like pigeons!”
