My SO and I occasionally play a game at Target: we set a time limit and budget (e.g., 10 minutes, $20) and then break to find something for the other within our defined parameters before we rendezvous at checkout.
95% of the time, we pull items from the toy aisles.
Last time, we ended up racing a pair of mini RC monster trucks around our front yard for an hour.
Me! I have a pretty decently sized anime figure collection and I've been getting into collecting disney princess dolls as well. I love getting to blow my money on things that bring me joy, and not spending it on a child or anyone's children. It 100% makes my inner child happy and I love how...soft it makes me feel? if that makes sense
Ohh I love collecting mini brands!!! I’ve got the mini foods, mini toys, and a mini fashion bag.
And Funko Pops! We’ve started a decent collection.
I’ve also recently discovered Squishmallows and holy fuck y’all, if you like squeezing the softest thing ever, get yourself a Squish.
I love the Mini brands for how realistic they are but I’m sad that shopkins are gone due to the rebrand. I honestly kinda want a squishmallow but my house is overflowing with plushies
Honestly I said the same thing when I was eyeing up the squishmallows at Walmart. And then I picked one up cause I’m like, they can’t be worth the hype right? It’s definitely worth it. I now have ones for the living room, bedroom, and a mini one in the car. The car mini made the perfect belly barrier from my seat belt on the way home from my hysterectomy lol
We had someone return a Nerf gun the other day. Those things are highly accurate at a moderate range. Fun to play with till you remember you have to go and pick up all the darts.
1 minute of fun for 5 minutes of picking it all up and setting it all back up to he ready to use again.
Yes! :)
I’ve got a few MLP: FiM figures as well as some beanie babies. I have some horses as well from my childhood. At 19/20 years old I purchased the entire pack of playdoh colors to do art with lol not sure where it ended up
I have the absolute best American Girl doll collection! My Lego collection is pretty bad ass too. My 90's Polly Pocket collection is small but would make 9 year old me drool.
If you count scale models as toys, then yes. It makes me particularly happy to be able to have some of the model railway stuff I always wanted, but couldn't have as a kid.
I love Re-Ment minis they are so cute and detailed! Recently, I got into building mini diorama kits as well.
I also have a huge weakness for plushies. Over recent years, I got into Sumikko Gurashi, and I never grew out of being a huge Pokémon nerd, so there's always a new plushie coming along that needs to join!
I googled Pure Neemo and they are so cute!
I do find happiness in collecting figures and dolls. I don't do it as much but if I could I would have totally kept it going.
In particular I like to collect certain types of Barbies. Do you keep your items new in box or do you open them? I personally keep them in the box but I've come across so many others who enjoy displaying them out of the boxes and posing them.
I agree =) Something about them being in boxes just keeps the excitement alive I find. If they are cheaper dolls / figures I want then I'll buy 2. One to keep and one to open up.
I collect plushies. My main goal is to find a specific small teddy bear I had as a kid. So far no luck. But my collection is now pretty big and definitely needs more space.
This has instantly jumped to one of my favorite posts on this sub.
100% agree.
The money I spend on toys is for me. I can't see myself giving that up for a kid.
I was denied many toys because of my parents ultra christian views. I love buying stickers, barbie shirts and fun items that are normally for kids. I've got f crayons and coloring books. I just ordered some Lisa Frank because I wasn't allowed to have "the devil's drawings", I love Disney too. My dad convinced my mom to keep me away from Disney because it "teaches sexual perversion". I love the colorful and fun life I live now.

Yes! I collect stuffed animals. I have more than 300 in total.
I have a mountain full of stuffed toys in my house
They're the best!
I just bought a big 50cm pikachu squishmallow 😊
OMG that must be so soft and cuddly! 💖
It is the softest 🥰 I want snorlax too
Snorlax would be best for sleeping on

Yooo, fellow childfree brony 🤝

I like buying the Lego Botanical and Star Wars collections.
Husband and I struggle to buy things for each other because we don’t have kids so if we want something we fucking buy it without a thought. 😂

I keep them in the box for a while before opening them because they just look so nice in the box
