Build the Ultimate Smiling Friends Merch Collection Without Overspending

Building a merch collection that welcomes your characters throughout your home and wardrobe while maintaining a reasonable budget is totally doable. Merch at every level of a collection matters and buying all the merch at once is not necessary.

Graphic T-shirts/hoodies are worthy pieces to add to your collection because they are budget friendly and can be worn easily. T-shirts/Hoodies can even serve as display pieces. Some pieces of merch like plush toys and stickers can be used to decorate your collection and can be affordable.

Before going to buy merch you can set a monthly budget so you don’t overspend. A budget will help you purchase pieces you really want instead of buying every piece of merch that’s released. To further control your purchases you can even make a wish list. A list will help stay on budget when purchasing limited merch.

Since merch of your favorite characters can be displayed year round you should wear it often. Merch displays that are on the versatile side can serve your wardrobe and collection well. To do this purchase pieces that are of good quality and materials.

As for apparel consider pieces that serve a purpose beyond being a single display. Pick merch that goes with a lot of your other clothing so that you can wear it year round. Smiling Friends shirt’s and hoodies that illustrate characters you love can serve this purpose.

Organization for collectibles benefits both you and your collection. Floating shelves are a perfect solution to display plush figures and artwork while also keeping them out of the way of dust and harm. You can even display your smaller accessories as a collection in shadow boxes or display cases adding an attraction to your collection.

You can keep your collectibles and increase their value by choosing decorations and necessities from your collection. You can day-to-day enjoy your collection while making your home more interesting with thoughtful posts and plushies. You’ll never run the risk of having a collection that is just filler.

When you collect for yourself and a series you love appreciate and care for you should enjoy the pieces you collect. Choosing pieces thoughtfully and carefully over time means a collection that is enjoyable while showing your appreciation for the series.
