Top 5 things you'd consider collecting (simple, manual things)

1. pens: YOu'll never know when you'll need em, and if you do have a pile of 'em at home or in your bag, you'll never have to borrow one from a coworker, friend or stranger when filling out random raffle entries or medical forms 2. Safety pins: you don't need to dramatize this line that much: "oh no! My button's loose. How am I supposed to close my blouse, and oh dear! My undershirt is peeping. I cant let my clients see this (panting, sweating)." 3. Perfume bottles: coz you'll never know who wants to send you a bottle of (I forgot the name of eau de cologne, something from Paris?) 4. medium sized index cards : remember the schedule of your next appointment? Oops, What time should I be at my brother's housewarming? Am I already late for soccer practice? Yep. you can post them on your office wall. 5. Keychains : no matter how cheesy that Hawaiian brand of air freshener (or is it spray on deo) keychain you have for four years, it still serves a mighty purpose for your car/house/gym locker keys. And that piece of wood with a weird sculpture ofa errh, uhmm.... still serves its purpose.
