I believe many geocachers have the same tendency to collect things (other than 'Smily's'). Signature items are a fun way to leave a little reminder of your visit to the geocaches found. These items range from business cards to hand-stamped postcards, plastic toys, bottle caps, stickers, and poker chips. Some geocachers design and leave very personalized and wonderful geocoins.
Pathtags
In my experience, Pathtags are a great way to create your own personalized signature item. Many people have them produced in order to leave in geocaches; they are small enough to fit inside a 35mm film canister. They are, however, also often traded through the pathtags.com "Trade Manager" feature.

I have designed and had produced several pathtags, most of which have been traded to zero.
