| When he travels by himself? If not, does it bother you? |

| Nearly every time. Very sweet. But I (really) wouldn't care if he didn't as long as he gets home in one piece, |

| Why would it bother anyone if he didn't? |

On overnight trips to NYC or something? No.
On more exotic, transcontinental trips? Yes, always. |

| Yes when he travels overseas. Not usually on his domestic trips, but he might bring some edible goodies back if he's in SF for a week. |

| My husband brings home little silly gifts to make me laugh. |

| Maybe for international trips. But the reality is that I travel way more. In fact I'm waiting for an international flight right now. I rarely bring home gifts. It would be a gift a week and our house would be overflowing with junk. Plus I am working, not shopping, on business trips. |

If he sees something for our daughter he'll get it, but usually no. I don't bring home gifts from traveling either.
When I was a kid I collected pins, so my dad would bring me one if he went somewhere interesting. If DD has a collection along those lines as she gets older, I can see us contributing. |

| Something little for the kids. Nothing for me. When I travelled for business I wouldn't buy him anything unless I was somewhere with some cool regional food or something. It doesn't bother me that he doesn't buy me anything. We don't need more stuff. |

| No. We don't need more junk. |

| I'm the one who travels and I didn't want to set the expectation of gifts on every trip. Then you end up buying junk from an airport store. |

| Used to bring me little things (usually edible) but now he travels way too much on quick trips and it would just be a waste of money. He does bring treats back from special locations if he sees or tries something he knows I will like. We both bring two year old DC something from almost every work trip - usually an edible treat but sometimes a book from the airport, or a location specific toy or t-shirt. |

| He brings home all the freebie stuff. If it is a more unusual trip he will get something. |

| My DH always brings back gifts for us. I think it is so sweet. My dad used to do this, too, although I never told DH about it. |

+1 Travel shouldn't be about bringing some gift back to people at home- travel should be about the experience, don't want the stuff- do want him to help share the love of travel, that our world is larger than what they see, and the excitement of learning about a new place, culture, food, traditions, etc |
