What Do You Collect From Your Trips?
Every time I go on vacation, I make sure to buy a gaudy, cheap t-shirt, you know like the ones that say "Someone who loves me very much went to _____, and got me this shirt!"
I am also sure to pick up a magnet. My fridge is decorated with bright colorful reminders of all the fun places I have been. I also like to send postcards to my family and friends. I keep mementos from my big vacations, like my plane tickets, room keys, and brochures of the things I did or saw to put into my scrap book or memory box. My apartment is also decorated with blown up images of my trips to Australia and France. These are the best souvenirs of all since I took them!
What souvenirs do you buy when you travel? What mementos do you keep?

I collect postcards from places that I've visited and sometimes buy t-shirts for my little brother. Seems like shot glasses are very popular..perhaps I should buy them next time. =)

As I'm a ravenous book reader and a huge Harry Potter fan, I collect a copy of the final Harry Potter book from every country I visit. So far, it's just Japan (and I also have copies of others from that series for language purposes), but I'm going abroad to other countries in the future, so I intend to repeat this.

Also, my mom collects lapel pins, so anytime I go somewhere she hasn't been, I look for some interesting ones to bring back to her.
