Collecting has always been part of human life, from porcelain figurines and souvenir spoons to today’s Lego sets, puzzles, sneakers, and Funko Pops. In this episode, we explore how modern collectibles reflect a cultural shift in how adults play, create, and connect with memories. We’ll look at why this resonates across generations, and how to enjoy these hobbies without letting them become overwhelming clutter.

In this episode we talk about:

• The evolution of collectibles from past generations to today’s adult hobbies
• How companies market nostalgia and play to grownups — and why it works
• The difference between curating with intention and unconsciously stockpiling

Mentioned in this episode:

• Lego’s adult collections and other modern hobby trends
• Practical tips for keeping collections joyful and intentional
• The Organized Flamingo’s philosophy: respecting memories while simplifying life
