Perhaps a showcase in their room?  A couple of souvenir style things that
I've run into while being a player had more to do with the type of mobs
killed than items collected.  (Probably says something about the MUD's I
like.)  In one case, there is a tattoo artist that will put a tattoo on
your character that reads, "I killed Boffo" if you bring him the body of
Boffo when you kill him.  Another option was to find a special sword which
was capable of removing the heads from corpses.  When the corpses
decomposed, the heads remained.  There was talk of setting up a trophy wall
for people's rooms, but the idea was never implemented.
