A miscellaneous collection is a group of items that are not related to each other, but are gathered together for a specific purpose. The term can be used to describe three different types of collections: an OLIO, a ragbag, and a grabbag. An OLIO is a collection of various items, usually of a literary or artistic nature. A ragbag is a collection of odds and ends, often of a disorganized or chaotic nature. Finally, a grabbag is a collection of items that are randomly chosen from a larger selection.
