I’ve always gotten a print or art piece representing the cities or countries I’ve been to. I decorate my office with them.

I don’t really buy souvenirs but when I visit a new golf course I always buy a divot tool with their magnetic ball mark. Have a nice little collection.

Fixing ball marks on greens is a pet peeve of mine. I fix several on every green

My parents used to let me get these when I was a kid. Had them all displayed in my room.

I had no idea what they were until years later. Still have them in a box at my mom’s house.

Nowadays it’s stickers and magnets. And photos that are displayed and used to make calendars for the following year

Many of the items mentioned in this thread will be acquired by antiquetiger at a future yard sale.

Shot glasses and coffee cups. If I got to Normandy, I'll get some grass and dirt from my great uncle's grave site. I will leave something as well.

They sell these there? I know you could buy a “piece of the rock”, and that money supposedly went directly to preservation of the place.

Couple of vials of sand from Omaha beach. A 105mm shell plus two 40mm shells from a bofors cannon I scored from some snake eater on my last deployment. He was a civilian contractor type looking for a ride home back to the states. He was stuck in some weird state of purgatory and needed a ride home. I gave him the ride he needed, but had to bargain with the enlisted crew members for those shells. I bought a lot of beers.

A girl once brought me back sand from Destin. Priceless.

I travel all over the world for work. When the kids were younger I got them stuffed animals. Now they they are older, my daughter likes tea cups. My wife likes ceramic decorations. My son likes local candy.

Sometimes I’ll grab them clothes. My son got a new Brazil soccer jersey last month. I don’t really get anything for myself.

Unique iron on patch from that place. I’ve got a stack that I plan to iron onto something someday.
