Small figurines
Small figurines are the ultimate trinket because they offer such a variety — literally. You can get a small figurine of just about anything. Some of my favorite trinkets I own are small figurines of animals; my sister and I have a collection of small, blown glass animals that simply light up the room; they are so cutesy. Other cute figurines include those made out of crystals, such as quartz or onyx.

Bobbleheads
Bobbleheads are a classic trinket that anyone would recognize. Whether they sit on the shelf or the dash of a car, they are sure to bring joy to their owners. I own a My Melody bobblehead, and she sits on the dash of my car, keeping me company wherever I go. Bobbleheads are also versatile as they are made for many fan bases, ranging from sports to cartoons.

Magnets
Magnets are another fun, collectible trinket fit for just about anyone. While they cutely decorate a fridge, they also have a purpose; they can hold up important papers, artwork or pictures. You can even have a fun little craft night and make magnets out of clay. My fridge is decorated with magnets made by me and my roommates. Magnets come in all shapes and sizes and can often serve as souvenirs.

Buttons and pins
Lots of people collect buttons or pins, and with good reason; they’re super cool. Like most other trinkets, there is such a variety in this subgroup. Buttons and pins are unique types of trinkets because they can be wearable; put them on a jacket or a bag, and you can display your collection to the world. Many flea markets have a variety of buttons and pins, some even being vintage.

Trinket trays
There is no better place to keep a collection of trinkets than in a trinket tray. Trinket trays are palm-sized trays designed to hold little knickknacks. What is fun about these trays is that they are often decorated, can come in different shapes and colors and add a little spunk to a trinket collection. Flea markets and thrift stores are the best places to find unique trinket trays for your collection.
