It is very common in tourist places to find objects to give as souvenirs, such as pens, mugs, t-shirts, keychains and local crafts. These items are relatively inexpensive, easy to carry in your suitcase and even pass through baggage inspection.
Or who doesn’t know someone who has a collection of travel objects? Even going to different destinations, there are people who always buy the same item, to have a private collection, such as refrigerator magnets, mugs, pencils, buttons, postcards, etc.
