I like shot glasses because they are small, but for my wife it's coffee cups. We have about 50. I think my kids break them on purpose to make room in the cabinets. Can't blame them.
Postcard with stamps to send it back to our home
bottlecaps from local breweries
T-shirts! Granted I don't travel a ton, ton so they're not too numerous, but it's real nice to have them I think.
I did post cards and put them all on one wall but then moved and didn’t wanna put en all up again (have enough to cover an entire bedroom wall)
I have hangups about a cluttered house and neglected belongings. Kind of getting over it, but in the meantime I go for photos, as well as flat things such as postcards or prints from local artists that can fit on a scrapbook page :)
Smashed pennies
Local art
Coffee mugs, although I'm now regretting not collecting shot glasses like my wife.
I travel full time, so buying 'stuff' is just not something that's at all possible. Usually though, I'll buy a sticker and put it on my laptop or my water bottle. It's lightweight and carries a memory without taking up any space.
Christmas ornament
I get one every place I visit. Get to look at them once a year and then put them away. Perfect system
Same! That and rocks.
I like keychains.
Recipes
Traveling?
I've been taking pictures of elevator buttons for a few years now. My job gets me into a lot of elevators in a lot of different places. Idk why, it's just like a quick, easy, and weightless souvenir.
Im tired of stuff piling up. We always see fun things on vacation and buy them as souvenirs, but a few weeks later, it's just in the way. After a lot of years, you have boxes of old souvenirs.
So I take photos. However, I hardly ever look at them. Memories of fun with friends and family, and the warm feelings they bring, are still the best souvenirs.
Pictures.
Take only pictures, leave only footprints.
My partner like refrigerator magnets though, so I've been picking those up every time I have to travel without them.
