[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great post on unclutterer.com about "The Perfect Souvenir" https://unclutterer.com/2016/12/02/the-perfect-souvenir/ (it comes from here actually - https://gothreetwentyfour.com/the-perfect-souvenir/)

The perfect souvenir would have FOUR of the following eight characteristics:

Useful – You need to use the item you purchase. Eat the candies. Display the artwork.
Collectible – Consider purchasing the same or similar item in every location but make sure you are clear on how to develop the collection.
Personal – This should be something you identify with on a personal level, not just a fridge magnet with your name on it.
Local – There should be something about the item that you can’t find anywhere else.
Connective – The item should be a reminder of the place and the people you met along the way.
Practical – It should be affordable and easy to take back home.
Unique – Don’t shop at the same chain stores as you have at home. Get something that has its own story.
Quality – Make sure the souvenir is durable enough for you to enjoy for a long time.

I'm the OP here and I have also made a post about my own clutter before too, ha!

Thanks everyone!  I used to go the magnet / mug route but now I have so many of those that I don't need anymore so I need something else!  And I'm Jewish so can't collect ornaments :). But I like the idea of trying to get something the location is really known for or artwork. I might be able to display all of the artwork in my basement - kind of a gallery wall of trip type things. I have a big map on the wall down there already. [/quote]
