I find that most people in my life have at least one "thing" they are collecting. It is often an insight into their personality and it is fun to hear people talk about something they are passionate about.

My wife and I collect souvenir lapel pins from places we travel to. We write the date on the back, and keep them in a shadow box on the wall in chronological order.

It's nice as it's not very expensive to buy them, and they don't take up a lot of space to keep, and we have a nice little history of our travels at a glance.
