Geotags. Have I ever used one? No. I believe this is called aspirational collecting, lol.

Robots and lunchboxes.
I also like chickens! 😀
ETA: I did once have grandchickens, and maybe if I can find a photo of them, I can use all of my chicken paper and stickers to pay tribute! I have grandguineapigs now and only have two fuzzy guinea pig stickers from my 80's sticker collection that are related to their existance.

Unicorns & rainbows!
I put a butterfly on almost every single page I create as a type of "sign"/signature that it was created by me.

gnomes and ways to dress them up horses and western icons like ropes and boots and hats trucks, tractors, motorbikes, bikes--anything with wheels. Oh and wheels and car keys. houses, doors, windows barns and fences, garden veggies and implements sun and clouds. Starry skies school related like books and school buses and pens/pencils hockey sticks/pucks and baseball bats/hats/balls Okay. Stopping now.
Oh I use SOME of these icons. But not nearly the number I purchase!

Pineapples.
Yep. Despite most people being tired of them, I still like them.

Farm animals and Woodland animals
Rainbows (I will never use all of the rainbow paper and embellishments I have and they keep coming out with more)
All the images with smiley faces on them like Doodlebug makes, they look so cute but then I end up using the B side of the paper

Ladybugs.
My childhood nickname was "Bug," and to this day my dad will send me ladybug-themed gifts.

I typically like most icons/symbols/images found on scrapbook supplies (at least when they debut), but rarely buy or use any except versatile, non-wonky/symmetrical/geometric shapes (e.g. stars, sparkles, asterisks, hearts, arrows).

Pineapples. Yep. Despite most people being tired of them, I still like them. I like them also and find them especially useful when scrapping places like Newport, RI; Cape Cod, MA; Mystic, CT; the Historic Triangle in VA etc...historic houses/buildings from the colonial era ...there's not much out there for scrapping historical musuems etc...otherwise |

All the Doodlebug things with little faces. I know they're polarising, but I like them, probably because I've only ever owned one ephemera pack in my entire scrappy life.

Hmm... an icon I am attracted to... I would have to say Hugh Jackman! 😁
As for scrapbooking, I love papers that are maps. World maps, cartoon maps, constellation maps, love them all. I will buy a map of a place I have never been to if I like it!
And of course, the adorable animals always get me. Do I need all of the cute animals? No. Do I buy them all? Yes.

To answer the actual question you asked: "What icons are you attracted to that you have no use for," I would have to say houses, and vases with flowers in them. They're so cute, and I have several kits with house and vase embellishments in them, but I don't think I've ever used one on a page! To answer the other question that most people thought you were asking  : I'm attracted to most things on pantsonfire's list of icons she thinks need to be gone!  |

Another is houses. Luke either them along each other or as a scene in a city.
The paper is always so cute and I buy it.
I did finally use some on a layout though and it came together nicely.

I guess because ds isn't a neuro-typical teen, those icons do nothing for me. Teens lines just don't work for ds. Now give me trains and dinosaurs and sports cups and medical Formula cans and therapy center papers and iPad or Laptops and swinging hammock chairs and wheelchairs and medical equipment and disabled placards, and blankets, and stuffies, and bean bags, and swings, and helicopters, etc etc etc then we'd be golden! 😀❤ |

Kitchen things like teapots and vintage dishes. I doubt I have more than one picture that stuff will work with.
I did find a good use for a page with recipe cards and one with vintage aprons and I was so glad I had them.
The rest will likely sit in my stash and just get admired.

I was going to start a thread on this but evidently I missed this the first time. Looking at the two EP threads got me thinking about this.
Icons that get me every time:
Most I have some use for not nearly as much as I've bought.
Goats- can't pass up a goat. There isn't a lot of goat stuff made but I need to have absolutely everything goat.
Mushrooms - I adore realistic mushrooms. I never met a mushroom paper I didn't like. Oh my gosh, I bought so many pieces of that Simple Vintage one. And the new 49 & Market line coming out? Mushrooms!!
Kitchen Aide mixers - If it is in a collection, I have to have it. I swear I've bought whole sticker sheets because of one darn mixer.
Poinsettias - those papers jump in my cart with alarming frequency. They are useful but I think I have a problem.
Alice in Wonderland - I love Alice, my bedroom is decorated in Alice (Tenniel version, not Disney) but I think I have every Alice themed scrapbook supply every made.

Tropical beach stuff. I would have much more use for beachy supplies that aren't tropical but I want those palm trees.
