[quote=Anonymous]Don't know if they make them anymore, but I had a friend who collected thimbles.  She kept them in a bowl on her coffee table so her visitors could pick them up and look at them.  It was kind of fun.

Years ago, I had an older friend who collected sugar packets from restaurants where she travelled.  Kind of gross, but interesting.  (Same theory as matchbooks--they had the restaurant name on them.)
Cheap, too.

I used to collect tacky souvenir tiles--I have quite a collection, but they are tacky.  So, don't do that.

The postcard suggestion is good.  Buy a postcard from the place, and be sure and write what you did--not just the sites, but what restaurant you ate at and where you stayed.  Years later, this will mean a lot.  You can always find books about the museums, etc, but it is the little vignettes that you want to write on your postcard.  Put them in a photo book that is clear on both sides (the kind that flip) so you can see the front and back of the postcard.  Great memories.  Wish I had done this (I had a friend who travelled extensively and always wrote her mom.  Her mom saved all the postcards and friend has a terrific journal of her travels.)[/quote]
