I keep buying stupid fridge magnets as if I need them, but now I've already started that habit, so I think I'll keep doing that. lol
I also love to buy T-shirts and if it's a country with good wine I'll buy wine too.

I usually take home something that just reminds me of that place.
I have a very special stone I took home from Greece, my son found it on the beach and gave it to me, it is a perfect oval and fits neatly into my hand, I used to hold it at night and watch the sun go down listening to a man playing a guitar and singing to his son, every time I hold the stone it takes me back and makes me smile.
I also have fossils from the beach in Dorset, brilliant short stay holiday.
I always bring soething home just to remind me of a place.
I have been known to bring home a paper place mat from a favourite resturant.
Take home reminders of times and places rather than just 'been there, done that'
I must admit we do buy t-shirts for the kids. They love them

I get all the usual items such as postcards, shot glasses, t-shirts and fridge magnets too, but I also try to find something truly local. Wine is a good choice but if you go overseas that's not always feasible. I try to get portable foodstuffs - for instance, when I visited Australia I brought back a bunch of snack-type foods such as local chocolates, crackers, chips, and of course Vegemite! I got various chocolates, Whiskey Marmalade and tea in England. Just keep an eye out for local businesses - some food manufacturing plants may have a tour you can take of the facility, and can purchase items at the company store. :)

I always buy souvenirs and it really depends on where I'm at what I'll buy. I usually collect shotglasses from everywhere I go; they're small and don't take up alot of space to display. If it's a place I really loved, say London, I'll buy shirts, keychains, glassware and calendars.

Sunbeam, I am so practical anymore its unreal.
I used to buy dust collectors. Never, ever, any more.
The souvenirs I buy today are something I would buy if I where shopping at home. Something to wear, a special piece of jewelry, something pretty for the home. You get the drift.
My home is clutter & dust free. Thank God~~~~jill

My job requires that I drive all over the United States. So I get Coffee Mugs for myself. And I try to pick up a Shot Glass for my Brother. I have an impressive collection of Mugs. And he has one fine-looking collection of Shot Glasses.

I've bought T-shirts also. I like to buy candles, the lighted ones you put the yankee candle in the top are great. I like to buy tote bags with the name of the place I went. I have bought throws.I like to buy gag toys for people. I've picked up purses too.

I, too, buy refrigerator magnets. My fridge has no room on the front of it anymore!
