BellaOnline Forums Travel and Culture Southeast Asia What do you collect when you travel?

I collect two things: postcards (just in case my photos don't turn out as beautiful) and magnets.

My closet doors are magnetic, so I like to use the magnet to hang up a picture of the people I traveled with...it's small and inexpensive but gives me a happy thing to hold on to...

I agree postcards are an excellent way to have pictures of your travels. Sometimes personal photos are not very good, but they still are great to have to stimulate memories. <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" />

T-shirts and Christmas ornaments are an awesome way to have rememberances.

I collect Snowglobes aka Waterglobes. Looks stunning on the mantle...

When i visit beaches, I usually collect sands and rocks. But in other places, (including beaches of course) I make sure to buy souvenir shirt. I keep them all together, it reminds me of the beautiful places i've visited. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I collect magnets, my oldest collects keychains, my 2nd child collects postcards and my husband collects rocks and stones.

I collect the postcards as well because the photos always turn out better than mine plus little hat clips of the places I have been.

Rocks from the river, I always go to a river when I travel. My daughter collects bells and my son collects shot glasses.

I collect photographs and keychains...

I collect spoons from all the countries I visit. I've got them from all over Europe, many from the Carribean, even some from Africa.

We collect shotglasses and magnets. They're small and easy to get home on a flight. Sometimes we get shirts too, but I already have too many t-shirts and not enough room to store them! Easier to find room to display shotglasses and magnets.

And, of course, lots of our own digital photos...
