We've been down this road before with collections and products we need and want mfg to create. I came up with a few some time in the middle of the night.
Day care, baby sitter, child care, and caregiver. My boys were in day care from 6 weeks of age until they were old enough to stay alone. I have never seen a product for this, other than one sticker that said babysitter one time. Many of us had jobs as babysitters, and there isn't any theme product for this. I have all kinds of ideas for sayings and papers I could use. Some of them can be found here and there in baby or school lines, but nothing as a collection.
Medical themed stuff for other than doctors, nurses and ouch/band aids. Years ago MAMBI stick kids had a hospital themed kids sticker. How many people have themselves or family members with long hospital stays, frequent medical issues, ongoing medical care. Hospitals and medical care is a big part of life. I also worked in hospitals for over 30 years and I am not a doctor or a nurse. I can think of all kinds of theme stuff that would work for this.
Fantasy, gaming, cosplay, role play, ren faire I have one Sticko sticker for Cosplay, a few sheets of paper from Scrap your Trip for gaming, but that's about it. This would have monsters, elves, fairies, knights, dragons, but not juvenile little kid ones. Think Game of Thrones. And dice with at least 6 sides or 8 sides, fantasy forests and mystical scenes. Yes, there have been plenty of dragon, knights and fairies, but all geared toward little kids. Adults spend lots of money enjoying these hobby elements and having theme products would be great.

I love your suggestions!
I would really like some gaming ones for adults as my dh is a huge gamer.
I would love to see some social media stuff, one of my dd's is huge Tik Tok fan.
Masculine, other than cars or trees.

I bought this stack at Michael's quite a while ago, called Dark Rainbow, that was kind of mystical/fantasy but very very purple. I used it to scrapbook Magic the Gathering events I had played in. I would love a more adult type RenFest, gamer collection. |

I want some dog themed Thickers. Several different sets to match whatever paper I have. Other than that themes don't really matter much to me.

I'm hoping that soon enough we'll all have a need for a shopping theme. Like, in person shopping with fun colorful bags, coffee and snacks, water bottles, charge cards, gift cards, cash registers, shop 'til you drop, "Yes, We're Open," tired feet, sensible shoes, FOMO, etc.

Moving theme
Agree with the medical and include x rays, casts, sutures, charts, pills, IVs
Science fair related things
Business related things. I have kids in all the business clubs at school and there is nothing for that.
Driving and permits and keys and new cars and all related icons
Castles that aren't found at Disneyland
My kids are always playing battle games like risk and axis and allies. I'd love something with those themes.

I would love to see more board game ones like Carta Bella’s family night. Our family plays a lot of board games, especially this year.
I would love to see more general sports stuff. My boys all participate in non traditional sports like cross country, track, rugby, tennis and ultimate frisbee. I don't need something that specific, but something more general about being on a team would be great.
National Park, outdoors, hiking related stuff. There’s a lot of outdoors stuff but a lot of it is camping related. I would love to see Photoplay offer more of the National Parks in Collections like Yellowstone and Grand Canyon.
Something for historical places and museums like Gettysburg, Williamsburg, the monuments in DC etc.
Pet related stuff. I would love to see a dog collection in something other than primary colors. Who decided cat collections should be more feminine and pink and dog collections more masculine? We have a female dog who is very much a diva, it’s one are of my life where I could actually use pink. Almost every collection except for dog ones have pink in them these days.
College stuff. Most of the school stuff is geared towards younger kids.

The Paper Persons next release will be shipping related. The sneak peak had some reusable shopping bags.

Honestly, I don't know that I'm a theme person. Even when the page I'm scrapbooking is about, say a games night, I'm not sure I always want or need something too theme-y. I'm not sure why.
The only time I tend to use theme products is birthdays, Christmas, and Halloween. Even Easter, I'll go with traditional Easter colours, but the products themselves can be too cute for me.

For the longest time, it was a line for people that don't have a life. The pandemic took care of that theme.  Star Wars theme, but doesn't have to be that exactly, just that kind of feeling. I have a child who is Comic Con, Star Wars obsessed.
Maybe an Autism something? I don't know what though.

This last year has been a lot of extra medical appointments for my son and yes, most are the cutesy stuff. There has been some that are less that way with covid-19 though. I found some metal dies on aliexpress that I might get. I can't seem to find them from other retailers. |

None! As a theme-challenged scrapper, I prefer less themes & more classic patterns in usable color palettes.

My preference would be larger stickers or die cut type embellishments. No little sticker or embellishment sneeze.
DISCLAIMER: My suggestions are meant for life before and life after covid distancing.
Day to day living life stuff.
Seeing/hanging out with friends (or Nieces or others)..... Lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, restaurant, backyard, fire pit, shopping, go for walk, etc....
Stay at home stuff..... reading, surfing the net, working in yard, cleaning out closet or garage, baking, playing board games, watching tv, laundry, washing the car, pajama day, etc...
In general life stuff.... Doctor appt, drive thru's, grocery shopping, Library, seeing a movie, concert-ballgame-craft show-festival-lake-river-ocean-park, etc...

The rest of the world has gotten a taste of life for homebodies. I want more stuff about life at home, not just because of quarantine, either. I feel companies are absolutely TONE DEAF to us STILL being in the midst of a pandemic. Simple Stories releasing a TRAVEL collection right now made me eye roll so hard.

Love the above ideas about medical type stuff. I now have to get regular MRIs and blood draws, so something I could use to document those appointments and my medical journey would be pretty cool.
Different food, eating out type stuff. Almost everything food related is about baking, or cooking at home, or kitchen themed. That's ok, but my hubby and I eat out a lot and love to try new places and new foods! I want some stickers and papers that are about that type of thing. Thumbs up or down, yes or no type sayings. Stickers of foods that aren't donuts or cupcakes. How about sushi, steak, or even specialty burgers?! Paper with a menu type background, etc. I've been looking for years and never really find anything. I've made due with some stuff I've found, but it's not the feel I want.

Reminisce has two lines you might be interested in: Warrior is a Game of Thrones line- I like the dragon scales, fire, chain metal, castle wall, etc. paper Fairy Forest is a more adult fairy line. I know Reminisce is not everyone's style, but I've used the papers to mat photos and I really like the look. Both lines are available on Scrapbook.com I don't mind travel lines being released right now. Are all of you only scrapping stuff from this year? Because I'm scrapping trips from 10 years ago- I am just not chronological. I just bought a bunch of baby lines and the youngest boy is 11. Sometimes I feel like scrapping current stuff, sometimes I want to scrap stuff from the past. |

I would also like to see some cancer journey stuff that's not all, "You can beat this!" I'm helping a friend with a cancer journal for her mom and all the breast cancer stuff I seem to have is very "You go girl! You got this!" I totally appreciate that sentiment, but her mom isn't going to "beat" bone cancer. She is on treatment until treatment doesn't work. So yeah, some different medical stuff would be good!

Reminisce has two lines you might be interested in: I love Reminisce. I will check these out right now. UPDATE: I just spent $125 on your recommendations and more, mostly Reminisce. I must check out this site more often. |

Beer. I'm a brewery girl. I keep buying the same papers and embellishments over and over because there are only a couple beer things available. I see a lot of wine stuff but not much for beer.
Baby lines that are gender neutral. I'm a little tired of the cliché sayings. Tired of boys being brave and girls being pretty.
I'd like more beach papers that aren't tropical. Some of us go to beaches on the east coast- not a palm tree or surf board in sight.
Dog and cat paper in new color schemes. Dogs are always primary colors and cats are always pink. I would like some that aren't so cutesy, too. My cats aren't cutesy.
More teenage stuff. I'm always looking for teenage lines.
Little boy paper that isn't all trucks, trains, and dinosaurs. My boys never were into trucks and the two older ones didn't have interest in sports, either.

Star Wars theme, but doesn't have to be that exactly, just that kind of feeling. I have a child who is Comic Con, Star Wars obsessed.
