Cheap souvenirs

No matter how budget or extravagant your trip is going to be, you´ll be heading for the Poorhouse if you purchase souvenirs for everyone you know. T-shirts get worn out, grown out of, and aren´t cheap. Breakables..well, break! Carved coconuts or indigenous decorative crafts are a matter of taste. After swooning at credit card bills "after", I´ve learned to share the following with appreciative friends: foreign coins, currency, or stamps (great for kids), local candies, small destination-oriented Christmas tree trinkets that won´t break, or magnets. (The coins I´ve collected through the years afforded me hours of entertainment with nieces.."how many kings/ships/birds/different kinds of animals..pictured..." )
