Souvenirs for the Holidays

Every tourist wants a reminder of a great trip, ba fridge magnet, or key ring for example is a great little token to bring home, but when you travel a lot those little tokens start taking up a lot of room! At one point my fridge resembled a Roman mosaic it was so adorned with magnets, and I struggled to find my keys among the cute little fobs!

My solution was to buy a christmas decoration from each trip instead. I can't always find a trinket specifically built for purpose, but anything that dangles, or can be attached to a piece of string will do! Then when I decorate my tree come December I have great fun unboxing my decorations, talking about all the fun trips we've been on, and places we've seen. Plus, my fridge door is no longer groaing under the weight of a thousand ornaments! Win, win.
