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

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

This is what we do too. DH collects shot glasses, and I love the fridge magnets. Otherwise, if we see something that we like, we buy it.

Interesting that a few of you all bought a map of St. Lucia (and have it framed.)
What's so special about it? I'm curious.

Some but not much.
DH got some Cuban cigars and I bought little things little magnets and little figurines.

But DH did buy me a Caribbean topaz necklace.

We got a beautiful hand carved wooden mask - my DH is obsessed with it and pretends to kiss it (it has big lips!) when he walks by it - its really cool looking, i have to say.

I got a stone necklace on a rope - very Mexican... and a beach dress.

We got some hot sauce too.

Playa de Carmen had great shopping - I could have gone all day!

Yes, in Aruba we bought a map, ( I have to still get a frame for it) tons of pottery, tshirts, jewelry and a lot of the aruba Aloe!
next month on our HM2 on a med cruise I will def be buying a ton of souvenirs- probably a lot of wine from italy and france.

We went on a tacky magnet hunt - and got an alligator lying under a palm tree, with moveable palms.

And a tiki shot glass.

Tacky was the key

The only souvenir I got was a big fat scar on my wrist from a run-in with a rock while I was snorkeling!

BTW, when I cut myself, I went back on the catamaran to ask for their first aid kit - and they didn't have one!!!

So they pulled out a bottle of rum and applied rum to my cut. That was their first aid!!

We mainly bought gifts for our parents but we got ourselves a beautiful Murano glass picture frame in Venice (last stop - we had forgotten about ourselves until there ) that we want to put a HM pic of us in. Other than that, nada.

I get magnets too. On our HM, I got a corkscrew/magnet and a beach coverup. I don't think DH bought anything. He was looking at shirts, but nothing really grabbed him. We also get free t-shirts from the hotel, but they were really thin hanes Ts that we just wear for PJs.

Our original HM, just photos that the cruise ship took of us and some Blue Mountain Coffee in Jamaica.

This time around I did reeeeal good. I got lots of bling in St. Maarten (I've never had much jewelry) and DH got a new watch. I also bought myself a few super cheap knockoff bags in Curacao b/c they were 1/2 what they want in Chinatown! I did pretty well! oh, and some pashminas on the ship b/c they were only $10!

Yes, whenever we travel, we try to bring stuff back at least for ourselves and a few family/friends. from Tahiti, bora bora & Moorea, we brought back, seashell chandelier, Tshirts, wood chimes, tea. It was fun.

Yes, we bought picture frames and doo dads in Aruba. On our cruise we stopped in a shop in Antigua and bought a map of the carribbean. The artist drew in our route and wrote Honeymoon Cruise 2005 on it. We also got pics from the cruise in frames.

Black pearls for me and Tahitian sand in a water bottle from Tahiti. Corny, but my cousin loved it!! MY DH bought some 'Tahitian Punch' which tastes great and gets you wasted after like two drinks!
