My friend collected badges (those fabric ones that look a bit like scout/ guide badges) to sew onto a blanket. I thought that was a nice idea Surprising how many cities around the world actually sell them as well!

Mostly fridge magnets and postcards.

When we go to america, I usually collect a number plate for each state that we've been to. Other countries, its usually sand, currency, or something that represents that country: like a painted cow-bell from switzerland or hand painted wall tiles from spain.

I always get one of those string friendship bracelet looking things you always see one markets and stuff. They last a lot longer then I thought I got a full wrist of them now lol

I guess the most collectable item I acquire from travelling abroad are pressed coins. You know the ones where you put 50p/cents/whatevers into a machine along with a 1p/cent/whatever and the 1p is pressed with a logo of the place you've visited. I make a habit of collecting those wherever I see them (usually in America), but that's not very often.

I like to pick up useful souvenirs. I went to Marrakech recently and came back with a robe from one of the souks, similar to ones that Moroccans walk around in during the day. I'm using it as a light dressing gown - it's really comfy!

I always keep all tickets, no matter what they were for and any tourist leaflets. Also I always keep the money I have when i get back, my favourite is the plastic 10 Hong Kong dollar

HK money is the best. I still have a $20 note left over from Chinese New Year from when I lived there.

Pictures and the odd nick nack

Unfortunately, nothing. I have travelled so much in the last 2 years and I regret not having brought souvenirs from some of them.
I'm into landscape photography and do have many pictures from each trip though.

keep all my tickets and maps and attempt to get a music instrument of some sort usually something small like a flute....although I did manage to get a Guzheng back home

I cant even play any instruments :<

Haha that's awesome! I really like the idea

[Exulted]

Fridge magnets, coins, sea shells, souvenir plates, badges, postcards, and yes, sweet fond memories

I have got keyrings from my most recent destinations, yet I plan to start getting wristbands, such as 'I Love Corfu' or 'I Love NY' ones...

I have a box at home, which has everything I have collected from my holiday's (other countries).

I collect anything what I can get; leaflets, flyers, tickets/receipts, boarding tickets, fridge magnets, magazines, straws, currency, beer mats, booklets, things from the beach etc. I can go on. Also, I like to collect things from the plane and both airports.

To be fair, it is an impressive collection, and I'm running out of space for this year... I always start to tidy the box up and want to bin certain things, but I never do!
