My Souvenirs: Cheap Earrings

in #life6 years ago

Do you have a collection of vacation souvenirs -- trinkets you pick up when you travel? Refrigerator magnets? T-shirts? Snow globes?

My parents collect Christmas tree ornaments. My niece used to collect air sickness bags. My kid collected keychains.

As for me, I collect earrings, the cheaper the better.

Over the years I've accumulated a pile of earrings, only rarely paying more than $10 or $15 for a pair. And I've decided that they make great souvenirs, at least if you have pierced ears, for the following reasons:

  • They're cheap. I've paid as little as $2 for a pair.

  • They're ubiquitous. Where are there not vendors selling earrings?

  • People ask where you got them, and then you get to talk about vacation.

  • If you lose them, it's an excuse to go back for more.

This leaf-shaped earrings are from Finland.

Cushion covers. Very useful for people who have (or will have) fold-out futons rather than real-life sofas....

I have been collecting the refrigerator magnets and arranging them geographically on my refrigerator.
