The Best Travel Souvenirs

Share The Love!

Of course the best souvenirs from a trip is something you love! I always pick up something from wherever we travel; I like having a little memento to remind me of where we have been! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite ideas to share with you.

Christmas Ornament

Every time we travel I pick up a Christmas ornament to put on our tree. It’s so much fun as you are decorating to reminisce about trips and dream about new ones. Also they’re usually pretty small and easy to get home!

Coffee Mug

We drink a lot of hot beverages in our house and so we use a lot of mugs! All of our mugs are special and a lot of them are from trips we have taken. My husband has used his almost every day since we got home from Disney World in June. I usually rotate between a few.

Coins

If you exchange to the local currency you usually have some coins left over! I decided to make a few into magnets to use on our fridge! Useful and interesting.

Patches

My husband decided to pick up some patches for his backpack on our honeymoon. They’re usually pretty cheap and easy to find!

Food / Alcohol

Of course this is limited to what you can bring across borders but my last trip to Minnesota I picked up a bag of locally roasted coffee. It’s soooo yummy and reminds me of a great trip with my best friend! We also bought chocolates in Paris to bring home to our families.

Clothing

I bought these amazing woolen socks in Iceland, they are so cozy! I also bought mittens for my husband. It’s always nice to buy something locally made.

Art

We picked up some art on our last trip to Disney, I LOVE them! My parents have also bought us some art on their travels!

What are your favorite things to bring home when you are traveling? Or do you skip souvenirs all together?

Pin it for later!

    One of my favourites is the pressed pennies! I’m obsessed with them! I love that I get something with the place ‘stamped’ on and actually use the currency of the country!

  3. Great list! We always buy a magnet where ever we go!

    Love these ideas! We usually buy art when we are on a trip, but I love the Christmas ornament idea too (side note: my in laws have a place in Grand Marais). The coins are another great idea – brilliant to turn them into magnets!

      I love putting up my tree and looking at all the ornaments! I think they are more special since you only see them once a year! also I LOVED Grand Marais! Can’t wait to go back! Have you had the Worlds Best Donuts?! They were closed when I went 🙁

    We try to get a piece of art everywhere we go, and we started getting our son a pin for each new country he visits!

    I wish I had thought of collecting Christmas ornaments earlier! That’s such a great idea. I always get a coffee mug and coffee which is fun too, but love your ideas
