Have you ever got any lovely souvenirs?

Hi maximax8! Wow, I do like the costume dolls but they are kinda expensive. However, I do love buying souvenirs when I get to travel. I have a collection of masks, fridge magnets, shirts, key chains and a few decorative plates that has the scenic designs of each countries I have visited. And I usually buy "Coke" in my travels because each country has a different kind of packaging for Coke. I just packaged them well so the content of the coke bottle won't spill during my flight back home. Take care and God Bless!

hello maximax.. I love to buy souvenirs, especially that I travel alot across many countries.. so I love to buy stuff from here and there.. and it really depends for whom I'm going to buy it.. but one thing is in common, is that I buy things that have good value, and will last long.. after all souvenirs are to be kept right?

Heh what a great question. When I go somewhere I need to get a ball cap and I buy my mother coffee from the region and a coffee mug. It is great to search for just the right gift but to know what it is that you are searching for. Thanks Zelo

I am not very fond of souvrniers - not the touristy kinds anyways. I used to collect both dolls and spoons as a child. Now we'll probably get something made locally like a blanket, tablecloth, a painting - something like that. Something we really like and that will be part of our home in a away. and we usually do get a magnet.

I don't have extra money to buy expensive souvenirs. I can only afford key chains I normally select a key chain with a design has something to do with a country's symbol. For example I bought a key chain from Singapore with a Merlion etching. I use to buy metal bells for my wife. She loves these bells and asks anyone of her relatives and best friends to buy her when they travel.

you've traveled in Italy? have souvenirs from italy??? :D No i've no souvenirs couse i've not travelled a lot :( but i hope in next future to make a long long trip all around the world! (if you need an italian souvenir ask!!!)

When I went to Rhodes I brought back some lovely pebbles from the beach, they were very pretty and eye-catching, I have put them in a little box and they look very effective on my dressing table, every time I see them they remind me of the wonderful time I had in Rhodes and the significance of the time I left my ex and started a new life! I love stones, pebbles and rocks, I should have been a geologist hey! Best thing is, they were free! And I will always have them, fond memories and one of my favourite souvenirs I have brought back from my travels!

Hi MaxiMax . . . my daughter and I love to collect playing cards from different countries or states. We ususally start with the airlines. I don't know if they let us do it now though. We'd probably have to pay for it. Anyhow, our collection isn't all that big yet. But we'll get there.

I also like buying souvenir items when traveling to a different country or new place. Usually I buy ceramic items with the name of the place written on it. I had bought a ceramic fan and kettle from singapore, a ceramic photo holder from vancouver. I also like buying small items like key chains and post cards too and items which resemble the place I have gone to, like the mini twin towers from KL.

Normally I buy coffee mugs, magnets and postcards. I always take a lot of pictures and I also buy stickers if I find any that are different. I usually include the postcards and stickers in my scrapbook pages I do. I also usually try to bring something back for my s/o's daughter, a t-shirt or something. If we happen to be going on a trip on the Harley, it's good that I buy small souvineers since I can buy any thing large! lol

My husband gravitates towards baseball caps with the name of the place on it. (He has 120 hats so far.) I tend to like t-shirts with the town's name on it. If I can't afford that, then I pick up pens, magnets, shot glasses, coffee mugs, or a similar small item - as long as the town or museum is on it. I have not been able to find postcards too much much any more, so I take my own photos. Stuffed animals and dolls - I have a couple, but they are expensive. I go mostly to places in Penna., New Jersey, New York, Maryland. I have also visited Virginia, Massachussetts, and Delaware. We were in the Poconos in June, and next week we will be in Niagara Falls (Canadian side).
