How does one come up with a gallery idea? I once tried plushies, got bored with it and realized that a lot of plushies are expensive.. So, how did everyone come up with their gallery ideas?

I collect books and it just sort of happened. The daily puzzle and some wheels give away books sometimes and there's a random event that does too, so that got me started. They're also pretty cheap and there's a whole lot of them.

My favorite faerie is Fyora, so I made my main gallery page about her.

I'm still searching for my gallery theme and my avie. Neither one has proven to be very easy..

I don't have a specific theme. I just collect the type of item I love the most. So I currently have a gallery full of cheese, draik, and Jhudora items. :D

Ha, my gallery is also plushies! But I'm trying to fill it with the cheapest plushies I can find. You know, the ones you see everywhere and that people are practically giving away. I want to honour those plushies, in a way, because just because they're common, doesn't mean they're junk. And maybe one day they will go up in value? The first time I was on neopets I was a negg collector, because there are some beautiful neggs out there, but they got really expensive really quickly!

I love flying so I decided my gallery will be with items that float or fly :) Like baloons and kites :)

when i first saw snowberries, i fell in love with the idea of the frozen little berries and decided to collect things that were related to them. there aren't that many, so my gallery is rather small compared to others, but i put a lot of work into making it look nice. i do want to start another gallery that's more extensive and not so easily completed. i do have appreciation for small galleries, and i don't think they have to contain hundreds of items for them to be worthwhile.

I started off collecting jellies, got bored. Tried several other things but nothing was really 'it'. Finally started collecting petpets. Only been a couple months and I have just over 100.

Plushies are so hard to collect since there's so many of them. I know a lot of people that have collected plushies then changed their mind. I have a spooky food gallery, since I like halloween. But I really want to make an arts and crafts themed gallery

 

I guess you just have to take a look at your interests :) Some people have color themed galleries or world themes. I've seen some cool out of the box thinking like "things found around the farm" or a "tea party" theme

My favorite color is green (addicted maybe??), so I decided I'd make a gallery of green things.

Also, as I was a Habi regular I decided to add a section of Habitarium related things (only has green mootix things at the moment).

 

P.S.

If you decide on a theme where specific item names matter (e.g. items with the word 'green' in it) I highly suggest Jellyneo's item database to lookup items and make wishlists.

My first neopet was my Bruce, and in honor of her I kind of went with a snow/winter/cold things/Terror Mountain theme for my gallery. I've had a lot of fun collecting and organizing all the items. It's a work in progress :)

I love all the funny, weird stuff so that's what I collect in my gallery. All the weird, kooky, and odd stuff.

Thanks, y'all are amazing! I quoted you Shelley because you inspired me. I love love love Halloween! So, like your food gallery, I am doing all spooky items: food, wearables, costumes, toys, miscellaneous, etc. I have already started! Lol, now to get a list of stuff I want. I want to code my own gallery layout and even have different layouts per category.

My gallery idea: anything and everything under the neopian moon. :D

I have a petpet gallery. Petpets are expensive and it's taking a long time, but it's really fun and i love getting pretty painted pets and retired/rare ones. They are so cute I just want them all! It's the main reason I play neopets :)

My first gallery was Grooming but I quickly got bored and just ignored it for awhile. Now it is haunted woods and gross food items and I love it. Try and find something that you just love maybe you have an item in your SDB and then base it off that item.

I 100% agree!! I am all about the petpet gallery! I have one too! teampetpets!

Another gallery idea is 'items I wish existed in real life' Could have some very interesting items!
