replying to @SecondaryAdv @SecondaryAdv @TravelLatte I love snow globes too but I can’t handle having much clutter. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner @wildheartedblog When I was younger, pins and patches were my souvenir of choice. Eventually, though, you run out of places for pretty much everything! But I still have my National Parks patches - they're the coolest! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @yosecormier @yosecormier I love knives actually haha but I travel carry on only so it would be difficult. #WeekendWanderlust

A3: I haven't really bought anything super unique on my travels. Magnets, ornaments, a few t-shirts here and there. Nothing that is just weird or odd. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner @WanderlustJ1 @wildheartedblog I'm honestly still surprised we both got out of the Cliffs of Moher without buying the whole shop! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte @WanderlustJ1 @wildheartedblog LOL there was a reason we kept walking around and passing each other…they had quite the collection there! The Guinness Storehouse gift shop was similar :) #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @WanderlustJ1 @WanderlustJ1 @wildheartedblog Texas does pecans really well! And they're in everything! Mmmm. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog True. Although somehow I got one from New Zealand back to Canada, through the US in my carryon just a couple of months ago. Wasn't big. It was basically a laring knife. #WeekendWanderlust

Have you traveled the #California coast around #Cambria ? Such an amazing spot to visit. https://t.co/Aj9SEgKUjf #WeekendWanderlust

A4: Is it bad if we say no? Sometimes we will do if it’s really special or perhaps if we travel around the holidays but most of the time…no…just being honest! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @yosecormier @yosecormier @StevenOnTheMove @PassportDorks We started ornaments not long ago, with the goal of making the whole tree nothing but souvenir ornaments one day. Already need a bigger tree. ;) #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte A4) We try to buy souvenirs for holiday gifts, otherwise with the number of trips we take, it's way too much to get something for each family member each trip! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte @ABritSoutherner Patches are pretty cool! I’d love to put a bunch on my jean jacket! #WeekendWanderlust

A4: I used to bring something home for my now-wife when I traveled to academic conferences. I don't always do that for others. Usually I send a postcard if possible. #WeekendWanderlust

A4: I used to! I used to feel like I had to bring home everyone something but that's ridiculous! I don't expect others to bring me home things.
If I see something that I think someone really needs or would love, I may get it and keep it as a gift! #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A4: We don’t always buy #travel souvenirs for family or friends, unless it’s someplace very special to them. For example, art from the Vatican for Rob’s sister, the sister!

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte @yosecormier @PassportDorks That isn't necessarily a bad problem. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @WWTravelChat @WWTravelChat A4: My husband will bring home a city @Starbucks coffee cup for my mother when he travels for work. She has roughly 15 now, different decorations and symbols for each city/state #WeekendWanderlust
TravelLatte
replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints We've done that, too - and it's really special when it means something to them. Then you get the fun of buying souvenirs, and the joy of giving, too! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @StevenOnTheMove Japanese tradition is to return home from a trip with omiyage, but that's not really a souvenir. It is a gift, but usually is something edible. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte @wildheartedblog That is one of many things I love about Texas 😀#WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog @TravelLatte We just bought a cool @CabinZero backpack with flag patches on them…really love it! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte @WanderlustJ1 At least it’s not nasty boiled peanuts 🤮 #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog @ABritSoutherner I just wish my jean jacket from those teen years still fit. ;) One day I'll have to transfer the patches to a new one. #WeekendWanderlust

A4: We do try to bring home a few small things for close friends and family - and we always try to bring something back for anyone who house sits or covers for us while we’re gone! #WeekendWanderlust
ABritSoutherner
replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog Exactly! I never find it quite the same when someone buys something for me…I mean it’s cool but nothing quite like experiencing it for yourself! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner @wildheartedblog @CabinZero Picture? #WeekendWanderlust
yosecormier
replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner We are the same. Do your friends and family really need that koal t-shirt that says Australia in it? Or a I ❤Philippines magnet? There's no meaning in it for them. We may get a food item if possible, or wine. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @WWTravelChat @WWTravelChat A2: Not a huge fan of keychains! Loved them when I was younger but not sure what to do with them now haha #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @yosecormier @yosecormier @ABritSoutherner Oh, now THAT would be cool! Really wanted to get a Bodhran in Ireland, but couldn't find one that didn't look like it came from a tourist shop. Maybe if I stopped looking in the tourist shops. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove We tend to only bring back edible treats for friends. It’s the best travel souvenir! #WeekendWanderlust

A5: Probably more than we should! Really depends on where we go…standard is probably $5-$10 on lapel pin, small souvenir etc. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog @TravelLatte Omg yes! Those are the worst foods possible and don't know how people eat them. #WeekendWanderlust
