For years, my kids and I had a tradition of finding one of those "penny machines" at any touristy place we went. Oddly enough they're all over! LOL Having 3 kids, this was a great way to let them get a little something each time without always having to come up with a minimum $10 t-shirt they'd grow out of within a few months AND they felt so special because they "made" their souvenier!
Now we rarely get souveniers, just enjoy doing things there. Sometimes I'll pick up a mug or something but for the most part I'd rather put the money into a good time and the memories.

I keep small pebbles from the seaside when i go away on holiday. I've done this from a very young age and every year a pick up a different colour from the year before.
I also keep bus tickets and other recites. =)

photos taken by me and my own camera. i guess its better than buying anything. i use to carry my camera everyday because i like taking pictures if ever i encounter something nice -- or not, that catch my attention. me and my sister used to do that.

I love photos. I also like to get a tote bag or purse with the name of the place on the bag. I use tote bags a lot when I travel and at home, so I like buying them as souvenirs. I started that when I went on a cruise and I saw a bag that I could use when we went on our diving excursion. I have been collecting them every since. People see them and always ask about them, and it helps that I find unique ones. You can see in my avatar that I am carrying a bag. I have an addiction, I think.

I also like t-shirts, mugs, shot glasses, keychains, anything to hang on the wall... postcards, salt & pepper shakers, magnets... pictures most of all!

Whenever I travel I take lots of pictures. As a souvenir I enjoy collecting shot glasses and maybe even a t-shirt or two...
