Shot Glass Collection for Those Seeking a Hobby Idea

Advantages of Collecting

If you’ve always wanted to start collecting but are looking for a hobby that won’t take up too much of your time due to your busy schedule, won’t tire you out, and is a “ready-made” idea, we have a suggestion for you to collect while having fun! If you find yourself looking with a mix of admiration and bewilderment at collectors who are as happy as children for finding a single stamp, who scour every antique shop and flea market in town to find the missing issue of a comic book series, who spend hours online searching for one of the first-printed copies of a coin from god-knows-where that was worth god-knows-how-much, and who proudly display shelves full of Star Wars figures, and not only display them but often share their feelings with the toys themselves, then our feelings are similar… Having a hobby, collecting something, is indeed a wonderful thing. It distracts the mind, relieves stress,” you might say, but if you haven’t found a collection idea that suits you (and won’t be too much trouble), and if stamp collecting, napkin collecting, or miniature liquor bottle collecting all seem too ordinary, then here’s a new collection idea that’s perfect for you: Shot glasses! Isn’t it a great idea? You like it, of course. They are easy to collect and enjoyable.

The Place of Collecting in Our Lives

You go to a bar, down a shot, and slip the glass into your pocket. Oh! You can add dozens of new glasses to your collection in a weekend, right? You can, of course, but we said “Collect shot glasses,” not “Steal glasses”… Of course, you can also collect the “empties” from the shots you consume at the places you go at night (it’s your pleasure, you can do it during the day too, if you wish), but it would be more elegant to do this by informing the bartender or the waiter who served you, rather than by slipping the glass into your pocket. A small tip in advance during this process will also make your job easier. And don’t forget to be charming. You know, money doesn’t open every door… You might not even have to reach for your wallet thanks to a nice conversation you strike up. They might allow you to take the glass as a souvenir from the establishment. Sometimes, no matter what you do, they won’t let you take the glass, so don’t push it. Don’t ruin your night (we know, we know, it’s your pleasure, your day if you wish). Between us, we don’t think the shot glasses you find there would have any collectible value. After all, they’re just plain glasses… In fact, what we meant by collecting shot glasses wasn’t exactly this. We were mostly talking about souvenir shot glasses that you can find in different countries, different cities, and – pay attention here – purchase. You can already find such items in souvenir shops, and in the sales sections of popular venues like Hard Rock Café, Planet Hollywood, or Fashion Café. That’s what we’re talking about. With such a collection, you can both show that you are a globally-minded citizen who has traveled extensively and therefore has a broadened perspective thanks to the cultures you’ve encountered in every new place you’ve visited, and also find an occasion to offer a drink to a lady you’ve invited to your home ‘to show off your collection,’ allowing you to move on to that phase of your evening earlier.
