A1 Really, really crap ones! Those from the UK I defy you not to have a glass vessel with Alum Bay sand in it from the Isle of Wight! #pttravel

A1 #PTTravel Usually what ever I could get for less than $1. I remember coins that said where they were from were my favorite thing to buy.

A1 #PTTravel Well, the sea shells and naff 'Presents from ... ' are long gone. Here's a pic of my very first souvenir from abroad; bought Bombay Airport 1961, Still have them & wear occasionally.

A1: For me, it used to be mostly things we'd found along the way rather than bought from a shop - we went to lots of pebble beaches, so I have a good collection of rocks and shells!

A1 If only being a kid didn't seem like a lifetime ago. There must have been souvenir plates and such gathered from trips and now hidden somewhere in boxes much like time capsules. #PTTravel

@kate_frankie Hey! I used to have a postcard collection, I'd buy my own whilst on holiday and family/friends would send me some too.
I found the shoe box in the attic with them in recently - what a throwback! #PTTravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW I used to like that kind of thing. You can still go to places that have a 'make your own coin' machine and I see kids getting them #PTTravel

replying to @Gotmybackpack @Gotmybackpack @kate_frankie #pttravel My mother used to collect each and every postcard that came to her. In later life, she suffered from Alzheimers's, but still used to love paging through her albums.

Well, this is how observant I am and how often I'm here at home.
Fridge has had no magnets on it since the beginning of the week while decorating happened

A2 As an adult, trip souvenirs more often are digital photos. They are handier and readily shared. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I like bringing back books. Sometimes picture or art books, sometimes cookbooks. It's always fun being able to recreate or relive the travel experience back home. #pttravel

A2. I like bringing things back that you can consume. Makes for a good reminder of the trip and doesn't take up space permanently. #pttravel https://t.co/dJGyoeYrIR
