My current "meta goal" is to get 300 mounts. This includes getting essentially all of the achievements that include a mount (since I'll need to get those eventually anyway).
One of these sub-achievements is to collect 300 toys, which again means that I need to get every achievement that awards a toy for similar reasons to the above.
It just so happens that a bunch of professions have a whole crapton of toys that can be created that are Bind On Pickup. Since there is an achievement to obtain 800 skill in every single profession, this implies that I'd need a much of alts to get all of the professions. There is another achievement for hitting 110 on five different characters and, well, hopefully you see how a simple-seeming achievement like "obtain 300 mounts" can cascade into a mess of sub-achievements.
Anyway, the upshot of all of this is that I have been grinding alts to 110 in order to max out their professions (a lot of the profession quests require level 110).
I've been trying to get these complete while DMF was on because Darkmoon Faire offers a quest that grants +5 to each profession each time the faire is up. This is the cheapest and easiest way to go from 795 to 800 skill.
To make a long story short, I hit 110 with a rogue alt, 107 with a Demon hunter and I have a mage and hunter at the point where they have their artifact weapons. The Mage is alliance and the hunter was chosen because aspect of the cheetah makes a number of achievements (like the "whack a mole" one at DMF) much easier.
Anyway, it turns out that I miscalculated the end date of DMF and now have a bunch of professions at 795 skill :(
I also worked on a bunch of the other DMF achievements, many of which award toys. The "racer" ones in particular are worth a ton of points and all seem to award something unique. I finished two of the four "11 toll" racer achievements, as well as the skybirds challenge and some others.

8/4/24: [Into the Storm]! I FINALLY had this one pop after over a month of waiting. 8/21/24: Taivan! I finished this with less than a day before TWW came out. 8/28/24: Lots of TWW achievements. I got 80 after three days and maxed out enchanting and did the campaign up until it's blocked. 9/12/24: [Sojourner of Azj-Kahet]! This one took a fair bit of time but was generally fun to do. I'm going to work on the other ones now, zone by zone. 10/20/24: [Loremaster of Khaz Algar]!
