I have the perfect place for you to make a pilgrimage to. In Sicily near the coastal beach resort town of Taormina there is a town atop of the nearby mountain called Castelmola. The trek up the mountain is amazing and the views are incredible. Your reward for the journey is in that town there is a bar called Bar Turrisi, this is your new bucket list destination.
I've too considered making a shelve for my penis shaped "ornaments."
Shame to put something so aesthetically pleasing hidden away in a drawer - especially in my private bedroom where no outsider ever goes to.

Watches …
Sure. But if the divine only wanted us to wear one watch, why are we born with four limbs?
I have two teeshirts, but strictly speaking only one is required. This is because of social pressure
random old android phones (theyre fun)
hard drives random people give to me (promise ill use them eventually!)
shadow plushies (hes cool ok!)
ikea otter plushies (people knew i love otters, got me them, im committed to the bit now)
i have a lot of plushies in general but most of them are different
-
Common handtools. I have at least 2 - 3 of each. One set in my work truck and another in the toolshed. What can I say - I'm a sucker for tools.
-
Traditional hatchets. If I see an old hand-made axe head for sale with or without a handle for a decent price I'll buy it because they're not making more of them. I'll gladly sell/hand over one to who ever needs, appreciates and promises to look after one.
-
Bikes. I don't sell the old when I buy new one. It's worth more to me as a bike than as the money I'd get from it.
-
Hand carts. I don't know how I ended up with two but here we are.
Can relate to the hatchets. I love love love my Gränsfors hatchet and axe! Still trying to find a reason to buy another one!

Mental 'challenges.'
Trust me, I didn't start this life with a desire to acquire so many (if any.)
Some of them were "gifts" from my parents. (Relatable post)
Can openers, they're cheap, I keep losing them, buying them, and finding them.
Electric razors. I have one for the left hand and one for the right. I bought one several years ago and was gifted the same model about the same time. Didn't have the heart to tell them I already had one. Turns out shaving with two razers goes pretty fast.
Please enlighten me to your ways. Do you really shave with both hands and what body part?

I find that if I really like a product, I don't want to have to go to the trouble of finding a new one in future if I lose/break the first one. Often, even if it's something that you wouldn't realistically expect to break, I'll buy a few of it just in case, like clipboards, or document cases.
Another is consumables. For example, I bought an unusual eraser holder that has replaceable inserts for it. I really like it, so of course I had to buy 20 years' worth of inserts because I can almost guarantee they'll stop making inserts before I'm finished using the product.
For bulk food prep, it's often easier to work in batches. For example, I might make 5 days' worth of breakfasts at once, and store them in the fridge. In that case, I need 5 * <number of people> worth of containers. I also need to account for contingencies: what if a guest stays over? I don't strictly need that many identical containers, but it makes for a good system
Languages...
because immigration...
and why I maintain my previous languages? because I wanna feel superior to others
:P
Ich hab nur drei, that's more than enough, dank U.
Cajons. I have two, because after I got one my husband loved it and demanded i get another, basically. They are handy as bonus seats and as a barrier to keep dogs out though, on top of just being fun to thwack.

Trackballs. Once you make the jump, a world opens up. There's always a better, more comfortable, more feature rich trackball to be had.
!trackballs@discuss.tchncs.de
I've been collecting Elecom trackballs the past few years, they're nearly perfect for my needs
Nah. Those really hurt the first joint of my thumb. I'm worried I'll burn it out quicker.
Get one that you use your fingers with instead
It's exclusively ambidextrous ones for me, I use a mouse with the right hand but a trackball with the left.

Lip balms, nail clippers, and we have a lot of laundry baskets despite living in a 3 room apartment. Two or three per room and three/four in the main laundry collecting area.

Gaming computers. I have a laptop, a desktop, a Steam Deck, a light handheld and a smartphone. Not to mention a few older consoles, but they don't get much use anymore. The others all do.
Likewise... I'm overboard on the computers..
Currently have a gaming PC, an office PC, a laptop, a server, a NAS and three android devices.
Oh well, they're all doing a job even if I would be fine with less.
But all you do is modding Skyrim?
Knives, I have a lot of knives. Always looking for that new look or different blade geometry. New fancy metal or accessories. Just always been a blade or edged weapon kind of guy.
I have a bunch of bows too. Into archery as well...

Smol keyboards. Each one was my endgame, but I still like them 🤗
RJ11 cable
I probably have a handful of them too.
Somehow I've ended up with 3 laptops. It's rare to have all 3 on at the same time but it happens.
Chances to make a change in my miserable, depressive life. It only takes one opportunity to capture, one chance to seize and decide to do things differently, but alas, I'm not there yet. Thankfully, I have multiple - nay - an unlimited amount of chances ahead.
Materialistically speaking, off the top of my head, maybe my physical security keys (Yubico)? I have a backup key so that I don't get locked out of my accounts in case I loose my main key, but I could manage without the backup. Jeesh, it's hard to come up with something material that I have multiple of since I'm a minimalist and literally have like ONE plate and ONE spoon/fork/knife if you catch my drift.
Smoking pipes..
It's an addiction (pun not intended)
I believe that I have maybe 25-30 pipes at this point
I have items for home and work:
Most of the year, my work gear is stored in the shed so I have all of these duplicated in the house.
Drills - a fullsized drill at home and a mini one for at work mostly to drive nuts and bolts.
Hand tools - screwdrivers, bits, wrenches, box cutter.
Headlamps - a small AAA at home and a AA at work.
Clothes - Like most people, I have dedicated work clothes.
AA batteries
Phone chargers - Home, car, and work. I also have multiple battery banks.
Headphones - an older corded pair at home and newer BT ones at work.
Rock hammers. For, uh...reasons.
Also, as others have mentioned, clothes sets. Work wear is not what I wear on my own time, including shoes. But I could just wear one set (either work or casual) and I don't think anyone would care.

I have multiple monitors for entertainment and for work.
I have my main tool set in my utility room, a subset of tools in my main cave and another subset in my garage.
Multiple pairs of jeans.
My kitchen is well provisioned with multiple redundant utensils. Also I have a double oven.
I am in the process of expanding my utility room to have two washers and two driers.

Well, I have a bunch of stuff around here that serves no real purpose that I'm otherwise sentimentally attached to or think might be useful some day, but I'm not sure I have many duplicates, even loosely speaking.
The best(?) example is probably the fact I have 3 CRT TVs, none of which I use regularly. One is the main house TV but, since I don't use it much, I've never felt the need to upgrade it. The other two are portables that I'm keeping for if I ever get back into 8-bit computers.
