Do you have a collection of vacation souvenirs -- trinkets you pick up when you travel? Refrigerator magnets? T-shirts? Snow globes?
My parents collect Christmas tree ornaments. My niece used to collect air sickness bags. My kid collected keychains.
As for me, I collect earrings, the cheaper the better.
Over the years I've accumulated a pile of earrings, only rarely paying more than $10 or $15 for a pair. And I've decided that they make great souvenirs, at least if you have pierced ears, for the following reasons:
They're cheap. I've paid as little as $2 for a pair.
They're ubiquitous. Where are there not vendors selling earrings?
People ask where you got them, and then you get to talk about vacation.
If you lose them, it's an excuse to go back for more.
This leaf-shaped earrings are from Finland.
Cushion covers. Very useful for people who have (or will have) fold-out futons rather than real-life sofas....
I have been collecting the refrigerator magnets and arranging them geographically on my refrigerator.
