What is your idea of a holiday souvenir ???
For us it is either a bottle of local brew or whatever local delicacy… or both

I recall our first trip to Spain in the 1980s, we went to a ‘traditional’ Spanish restaurant and order a dozen snails each as our entrée.
We set a dozen shells aside to take home as a ‘curious’ souvenir, but the chef wouldn’t allow it as he used them again, using tinned snails as a filler!
They weren’t in the slightest embarrassed about recycling old shells. “You pay for the snails, not the shells” (with a grin) 
I like a fridge magnet, as gaudy and tacky as possible.

There are a few more on this wall now than shown here:
And above the windows are our pin-badges:
