BT Phonecards
You'd always check inside phone boxes incase someone had left one on the ground. It was a pretty unhygienic hobby now you come to think of it.

Glass animal figurines
Why were the kids of the '80s and '90s into these?

Cute rubbers
Looked great, but they tore the paper and left a black pencil smudge if you actually tried to use them.
