Did you buy any souvenirs for yourself on your HM?

The stuff that we found in Greece was pretty crappy; we had a hard time finding souvenirs for family let alone ourselves. But we did finally find a cute little pottery shop on Santorini where we bought a few pieces, one of which was this plate. We love it, but it wasn't cheap! It was $100

Hmm, souvenirs in Italy...I got two pairs of Italian sandals, DH got one pair. We got some cute hand painted stuff in Positano. I bought some cute underwear in Capri. We bought some limocello there too.

No.

We went to London and with the exchange rate I thought about a cheesy English telephone box tea pot but with the exchange rate it would have been $50. and that's in a run of the mill souvenir shop.

I did buy a nice leather Italian handbag when we got engaged in Italy.

I got some necklaces and tshirts in Jamaica, but nothing too expensive. DH got a beach towel and some cigars.

We didn't buy a thing...nothing for ourselves and nothing for family. We were way too busy drinking and sunning to go out. The only person that was annoyed was his 14 y/o brother!

We bought a map of St. Lucia too! We were there in Dec. but I only just got to the store to get it framed. We still have to paint the living room so it's not hanging up yet. I love to buy some kind of print or poster when I go on vacation.

I also got a necklace made of these little pearl-like beads- I also like to get a fun piece of jewelry when I travel.

Just little stuff, tshirts, christmas ornaments, postcards, etc, and a gift for my parents picking us up from the airport-shopping wasn't great on Virgin Gorda but we knew that ahead of time and was fine with it!

Re: Did you buy any souvenirs for yourself on your HM?

Yes, we did. We bought a few and we spend too much money on them, we are still paying them off. We bought a couple of pieces of jewelry for me and a gold metal (treasure metal/piece for dh) and a shoot glass, a shell, a t-shirt, a couple of hats and some St. Thomas Crusan Rum . The rum and jewelry is so inexpensive there. Most of the stuff dh wanted. But we really enjoy them though .

We bought a ton of stuff for our family and friends as well as some Mayan artifacts for ourselves to decorate our LR with. I got 2 silver bracelets and DH got one. We also got our wedding date sketched on the Mayan calendar which we are going to frame.

Where ever we go I get a shotglass and a magnet.

When we went back to Bermuda this year, I stepped it up and bought a piece of jewelry. Next year, I am not sure what I will get...
