I enjoy coin collecting. My grandfather has always collected coins and I've recently gotten hooked. It doesn't have to cost a lot. I can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination I'm in the mood for) for exactly face value. A box of cents is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500.
Once I get a box, I go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). I keep all interesting coins and try to fill holes in my coin books.
The coins that I don't want/need can be returned to the bank and put straight back into my account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that I don't end up searching the same boxes over and over). So most of my money goes back and I can then get another box.
Some things to search for: wheat cents, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with an "s" mint mark - they may be proof coins etc. There's always the chance of finding a real treasure!

Backpacking...nothing like being on a grassy alpine meadow overlooking a vast range of beautiful mountains and not seeing ONE building or sign of civilization. I dont know what it is, but at those moments, I truly feel like the animal I am and it is very satisfying. Oh and the wildlife is pretty cool too I guess ;)

I enjoy crossstitching. We don't buy paintings or wall decorations anymore since I had my designs framed and they look good in the house. People who visit my home, appreciate them since these are all hand made and with personal touch. And it's cheaper as compare to buying wall decorations.

crochet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also knit, but not often. It has to be a pattern that I REALLLLLY wanna do b4 I knit something. I have been crocheting for over 30 years and I love it! It is repitive, ( like knitting) and i can relax,but for me, the repitiveness ( is that a word??) is relaxing, and I am creating something and so my hands are not idle.

Mine is cross stitching. I find it very relaxing and then I can frame and display my finished work for everyone to see.
