Kits and sets. I've always been one of those people who, if something is sold as a kit or a set, goes, "ooooh!" and wants it, even if I might not want the components all that much. When I was a kid, it was stuff like those kits that include crayons, markers, paints, stickers, and construction paper. Or kits for making jewelry. As a teen, it was those makeup kits that would appear in CVS at Christmas that had about 20-30 tiny eyeshadows, 10 lipsticks, and 6 blushes. Never mind that I'd only use about 4 of the eyeshadows, 2 lipsticks, and 1 blush, and that they were crappy quality. They were in a KIT, and that kit gave me UNLIMITED OPTIONS. These days, it's all that stuff and more. :)
