What Do You Do With Travel Souvenirs?
Ask a Question
Do you buy souvenirs from your holidays and what do you do with them?
I don't buy souvenirs typically, but I do like to keep ticket stubs etc from activities I've done whilst traveling. The problem with this is they just end up in bags in a draw.
Does anyone else keep this kind of thing and if so what do you guys do with this stuff? Any suggestions of what to do with it? (I tried doing a scrap book but it didn't really work).
Years ago someone decided we collect fridge magnets so we have lots on fridge of where people have been
Imnotcheap ditto, the side of my fridge was covered with them until recently then I decided to put them away in a shoe box and I guess someone else can, in the future, decide what to do with them.
I always buy a beer stein and a Christmas bauble from every new Country I visit.
It can be a bit tricky trying to source a beer stein in a predominantly Muslim, or wine drinking country, but I usually manage.
However, for some reason I could find neither in Sweden last Christmas.
I would buy something for the home as a reminder from holidays whether abroad or uk. The biggest was a couple of rattan chairs from Madeira.
I have no more room on my fridge for magnets and I have a collection of tea-towels from family members’ holidays.
I still got the postcards, tablecloths (still using them), tea towel, mug, bus tickets, calendar from years ago. I keep mine in the display unit drawer.
Little mugs or trinkets to remind us where we went or unique items we can’t find anywhere else
I buy magnets and shove on the fridge. It's nice to have them and can use them to put stuff on fridge that we need to keep safe
I have about three magnets on the fridge and that is it. I don't go on holiday, even when I did I didn't usually buy souvenirs. I sometimes bought clothes or a pair of shoes, as I saw them as a practical item.
I haven't in decades. I usually buy something that I can actually use like a great massage ball from Bondi in Sydney, Australia (used weekly for about 20 years) and a shot mug from Cuba with a fellow sniffing a fat cigar on it (have sipped from this many times a year for about 15 years)
I used to buy souvenirs years ago so now I have a collection in the loft. So now I don’t buy anything when I go away. I take a lot of photos though.
My mum collected fridge magnets so when I started going on my own holidays I followed and now the fridge is full
You could put them in memory box frame, and make an attractive display or even have a memory box table
