Old black and white pictures of people you've never met!
Nothing like having the blank eyes of someone else's relatives staring at you while you fool you're friends into thinking they're actually your great aunt Bertha and Uncle Tim. They're found in pretty much any antique store and are super cheap. I'm a little ashamed to say that I actually do collect these.
