For me it's school and sports paper and embellishments. I just have so much and am running out of school years with my kids to use it all up. It actually makes me feel anxious when I think about it. Sure I have lots of Christmas themed everything, but there will always be another Christmas to scrap.

I don't stress about it..if I'll never use it, I donate it to my kids' school or to the church preschool for arts and crafts.

Tape for my ATG. I have 11 rolls plus what is in the ATG. And I think those rolls are 36 feet. LOL! I only make cards now so I don't use it all that often. I use foam tape or double stick "scotch" tape since I don't need the card to be acid free.

Paper
And silly die-cut embellishments. I used to hoard them before I got a die cutter, and now I have a drawer full of outdated flowers, cartoon people, etc. It's nice to let the kids dig around in it when they want something, but I do fear it will just grow endlessly.

I have way too much Halloween paper and way too many Halloween embellishments! I don't actually worry about it, but I know I will never, ever use it up.

I have way too much of everything, but I have pulled out a dozen boxes of stuff to purge at my friend's sale in a couple months. It's a good start!

I am purging a ton of stuff and purged a lot before our move 1.5 years ago. Of course I think I have purchased more than I purged thanks to threads on here about TM and Marshals.
I am not going to stress about it but I do have more than I will ever use and then when I go to scrap something I never have the right something - be it paper or embellishment.

I don't have any illusion of using up any category of products in my stash.  Fortunately, I don't have too much themed stuff, except for Christmas collections. |

I used to think I would never actually use up any category, but I find myself needing basketball stuff for a layout and I can't find any in my stash. Of course if I was actually organized maybe I would.
I would also say, PL cards, and non theme paper like stripes, polkadots and plaid. I have a box just for each of those and I never go to it. In my mind I think far down the road I will have no theme stuff and those patterns will fit just about anything, like when I'm scrapping for grandkids I don't have.

Washi tape and baker's twine. And sequins.
I'm not too worried, because they weren't expensive. But I realized almost immediately that there is a ridiculous amount of twine on each little spool, way too much washi tape on each roll, and hundreds of sequins in each package (not that I only bought one package, LOL)

I have lots of stickers. I mean tons of them. My goal is to use some of them. I just need to get around to doing it.
I have lots of embellishments and ribbon, too. Some of that will have to be purged, I think. I have no desire to use a lot of it anymore.

I think I have a pretty small stash (compared to some I just watched on YouTube recently) and I don't have a ton of any one thing but about a year ago I decided I needed to use more mini clothes pins and ended up with 3 sets in 3 different colors (gold, aqua and red) and I've maybe used two. To get them on a layout without sticking out to far they need to be taken apart which is kind of dumb, they really should make "fake" clothes pins for scrapbooking that don't really clip to anything.
My two year old loves to dump out my clothes pin jar and sort it, so at least it's getting some use.

PL cards, paper in general, but halloween and Christmas is a crazy amount!

12x12 paper! I only do PL so the need for it is few and far between. I have probably a 2" stack of paper. And so much of it is from warehouse boxes or is very old, so it's not like I'm even in love with it all! Maybe it's time to de-stash |

Project Life cards. Even if I live for a hundred years, I'm not sure I'll use them all up! |

I have hundreds of buttons and enough letter stickers/thickers to write a novel. I can't ever running out of them.

everything, especially paper. I know 1000% I will never use them all up especially when I'm replenishing my stash regularly. |

Brads. Thank goodness they don't take up much space. I also have a ton of old stickers that I should probably just purge. I have one of those old Paper/Sticker binders by Cropinstyle that I never even look in.

I wouldn't say that I'm worried about, but I have more PL cards than any non-PL scrapper would seem to need. However, they are in a great organizer I made for them, so they are doing their job as scrapbooking room decor right now.

Paper...card stock and patterned. But, I keep buying and the puffer every year or so. But, there is no way I can use it all up.

Definitely paper. I purged a bit recently but I don't think it was enough. When I looked through my stash to purge I came across some things that I had totally forgotten about. I just hadn't seen it in so long because I keep my paper in two places. One area for paper used more often and another place for paper used less often. I need to go through that 'used less often' paper and make a decision on whether it'll ever be used. Some of it would definitely be used if I had easier access to it. I'd have easier access to it if I had less of it. Hmmm...something to consider.
