What to bring back

Souvenirs are part of traveling as they are tangible reminders of your adventure. So what do you bring home? A Cartier Watch from Paris? A rubbing of a tombstone in Portugal?

Here are some things I brought home: Ireland - paper coasters advertising beer; flowers pressed into a guidebook of Scotland; a wine glass from Murano; A quaich from the Outer Hebrides; a Celtic ring from Kilkenny; a silver ring from Florence; antique bottle openers from thrift stores everywhere; salt-finished ceramics from the Amish... and receipts and free papers. I will guess that the total expense over the last decade is under a hundred dollars.
