Do you like to travel? Do you like souvenirs? Are you on a budget? Then you have come to the right place! Here is the ultimate list of affordable souvenirs to scout out and collect on your next adventure! These trinkets often cost under $10, and are small, lightweight, and easy to pack! Let’s dive in!
#1 Postcards- They are affordable, lightweight, and easy to find! Send them back home to yourself with a memory written down for a special memento!
#2 Keychains – These mementos are mall, cheap, and practical. If you take off the metal ring attached, you can even turn cheap keychains into an ornament!
#3 Magnets – Magnets are easy to pack and take up a small amount of space once they are displayed on a fridge. Like postcards and keychains, almost all souvenir shops will have a few options to choose from.
#4 Shot glasses – Shot glasses can be a little bit harder to transport because they are fragile, but are easy to find and are a fun conversation starter when you host your next party!
#5 Tote bags – Buying a tote bag as a souvenir is super practical. You can use the bag during your trip, and when you get home!
Check out this adorable bag from London Markets for some inspo! It maps different markets from around London and would be perfect for trips to the farmers market or library, reminding you of your adventure!
#6 Local currency – Coins or bills from foreign countries can be a neat collection to start.
#7 Patches-Put them on a jacket, duffel bag, or backpack! Some people will also put them on corkboards, or style a few into frames! Check out this post by Infarrantly Creative for some more ideas for how to display your patches!
That’s it for my list of budget-friendly souvenirs! Next time you’re on a budget but still want to bring home a piece of your travel adventure, keep these affordable trinkets in mind!
