I'm curious about what souvenirs/mementos you guys like to acquire on your travels, many divers doing a fair amount of traveling. All the more so if you also do some cruises.
I want to inspire our 4-year old daughter to awareness and a sense of connectedness to a broader world where she's been, so any exotic place (even within the U.S.) we take her for more than an airport flight connection, I like to get 2 things; a souvenir thimble and a couple of magnets. The rule is, she has to go there. I prefer metal thimbles for durability, but if they're nice, may get a couple of different thimbles. I bought a thimble case on Amazon and hope to get my brother-in-law to hang it on the wall.
I like small things that aren't too expensive and have the name of the place on them. Shot glasses seemed like the wrong message to send a kid. When I travel solo I may bring home a toy for her.
Do you guys have any characteristic collectibles you bring home from your travels? Thimbles, magnets, t-shirts, shot glasses, shells, mugs, local art pieces, etc...? Is there any 'higher purpose' to it, or just personal fun?
