October 20, 2006, Newsletter Issue #132: Cheap souvenirs

Tip of the Week

No matter how budget or extravagant your trip is going to be, youŽll be heading for the Poorhouse if you purchase souvenirs for everyone you know. T-shirts get worn out, grown out of, and arenŽt cheap. Breakables..well, break! Carved coconuts or indigenous decorative crafts are a matter of taste. After swooning at credit card bills "after", IŽve 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 wonŽt break, or magnets. (The coins IŽve collected through the years afforded me hours of entertainment with nieces.."how many kings/ships/birds/different kinds of animals..pictured..." )
