the idea of buying souvenir items for everyone whenever there is a travel trip is waning now.
i no longer look for souvenir items to buy now nor do i make a list of things to buy for all friends and relatives. i used to do that and a portion of money is spent in that.
could it be that i am growing more selfish now and do not care about others? or could i be looking for more experience in my travel rather than looking for material items that will remind me of the trip?
nowadays, i only think of buying things when i see that something is suitable for a particular person. i won't buy just for the sake of getting a souvenir from that place. but once in a while one can get carried away looking at all those stalls selling knick knacks. this way, i do save a bit. hehe.
i am not the type who will buy one souvenir item that will represent the place just for the display. i am not that kind of hoarder. seeing all things cluttered at home just gimme a headache.
what about you guys out there?

No. I buy food. Big one for everybody. Don't make it a responsibility.
food is ok but you do not get to meet some people immediately once you get back. so usually get food for colleagues to try. but then, not all places sell 'edible' and packed local food.
