Firework displays. Those things start and I am immediately a giddy 10 years old.

Bright colors! I will often be drawn towards the clothing section for kids because the patterns, colors, and styles are so much more fun!
And riding on trains. As a Brit living in the US, I miss train commuting a lot. Just sitting there watching the world whizz by, and for 4 minutes you're basically in a group with all the people in your carriage, like you're in school again, only this time it's like the Class of 19:07 to Woking.

Catching a fish. Even seeing someone else catch a fish, especially kids catching fish. There's nothing else quite like it. Pure excitement and joy.
Cool new tech & gadgets have always awakened the excited child in me.
Ice cream. Whether it is to calm myself down or to have a snack to enjoy, it is one of my favorite delicacies that I often am excited to eat.
Rainbows, shiny things, stuff that smells good, really bright colors (a lady I work with sometimes wears magenta sweaters and they make me happy), gears, bells, and flowers. Off the top of my head, but there's probably more.
New GTA game.
Covered bridges are so cool. Once in a blue moon I see one.
frilly dresses. plush toys and collectible figures. cute pens/paper/stickers/markers.
New video game releases from Nintendo. I'm all grown up and primarily game on PC but I still buy pretty much every Zelda release and recently beat Super Mario RPG 2023.
Big vehicles. Esspecially old tanks, considering I'm a history nerd, but even just driving by a construction site or airport and seeing all the cool stuff.

I love just sitting and watching the rain. The fresh smell after a strong rain. The way everything gets cooler and darker just before to end in a myriad of colors afterwards.

Glitter and cotton candy.
I adore mechanical stuff that looks too complicated to comprehend on the first look, old sewing machines, old typewriters, mechanical calculators, knitting machines, clocks and watches, marble tracks etc. I was abysmal in school math, today I'm collecting old mechanical and electronic calculators and slide rules (and use them & show 'em to the kids at schools) Scales and maps are another obsession. Maybe because we were too poor for mechanical toys like Meccano or better Lego technic when I was a kid? Btw I loved the sesame street episode with the what-happens-next-machine as a very young kid. Then again, my wife says I have mild ADHD or something in that direction, idk.

Seeing furniture left out for trash pickup. As soon as I see it I immediately start plotting out how I could transport it and where it would fit in my house or what it could replace. Though in all likelihood, I never need it and I really never pick any of it up.
Thrifting too is a “thrill” sometimes when you find something really good, but you have to wade through alot of crap and anymore the prices are less likely to be a deal.
Sunlight reflecting off water and making beautiful moving light patterns on the wall and ceiling. It’s truly mesmerizing.
Once I seen a wheel cap rolls along it's car. It made me happy. We always see them on the road side. For once I seen it roll...
