I will take my baby son to Latvia this summer. I hope to buy a costume doll for my collection. I will buy some postcards of the localities that I visit. I usually bring back some foreign coins. I get gifts depending on what is available. My mum often likes to receive a T shirt and my sister sometimes likes to get a fridge magnet. I get a few fridge magnets if there are some lovely designs. I sometimes buy a colorful sarong if I visit a tropical beach location. I always keep some space in my backpack for souvenirs.

Thanks for your comment, maximas8.
I always wanted to buy things that is useful for my loved ones, but I always stuck at that. I even don't know their size properly. So, most of the time, I bought wrong size or didn't buy at all due to not enough money! Hahaha...

Key chains are my favorites. From some countries, I buy calenders with beautiful pictures of the scenic places in the countries. I make sure I get a calender when I go to Japan at new year times.

When we traveled around Europe, we collected fridge magnets from each country, as well as postcards and stuff.
When I go for my next adventure, I'll be trying to pick up something unique and more meaningful from each destination.. something that will mean more to me when I look back on my trip.

Thanks, darcyjohnperkins for your comment here. I agree with you that we should buy unique souvenirs from your travel destination. But not all of it is cheap to buy sometimes. It's also kinda hard to find too. Ever travel to Malaysia, here has many unique stuff that I believe you will enjoy if you like nature!

i would usually buy things that i could show as a souvenir and than show them off to friends and families.
the things that i would get to be a souvenir would be:
candles
key chains
shot glasses
hats
are some of the few that I'd buy for souvenirs.
i love traveling, and i love getting souvenirs for to show to people.

Thanks for your response here. Sure your loved ones loves the souveniers that you bought for them. I believe it's out of love and sure they felt it and touched by you. I seldom by souvenirs as I'm quite stingy person and I always stuck with low savings!!! Sigh...
