Do you really want to do this, OP?
You could wait, and pick up different original mementos during your travels. That way your knick-knacks would have a very personal meaning and be truly representative of your life.
What you're describing would have been ideal. Unfortunately most of our traveling was done solo (before we got together) and when we were too broke to pick up decorative household items as momentos. We have a newborn so I don't think we'll be able to do much traveling for a while, at least internationally! :-/ Next time we go somewhere, we'll have to pick up some things.
