Peculiar beach accommodating complete collection of objects (4,3,4)

I believe the answer is:

odds and ends

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'collection of objects' is the definition.
'odds and ends' can be an answer for 'collection' (odds and ends is a kind of collection). I'm unsure of the 'of objects' bit.

'peculiar beach accommodating complete' is the wordplay.
'peculiar' becomes 'odd' (I've seen this in another clue).
'beach' becomes 'sands' (sands can mean a beach area).
'accommodating' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'complete' becomes 'end' (complete means to finish or end).
'sands' enclosing 'end' is 'sandends'.
'odd'+'sandends'='ODDS AND ENDS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for odds and ends that I've seen before include "Miscellaneous bits" , "Miscellanea" , "various things" , "Job lot" , "Various bits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
