Readers response: What piece of travel memorabilia brings back the best memories for you?
When we travel, many of us love to pick up a souvenir to remind us of our holidays and the destinations we loved.
We asked our readers what piece of travel memorabilia brings back the best memories, and the response was overwhelming. Here's what they said.
Jan Hall - Christmas Decorations! Then when I put my tree up it’s like a trip down memory lane, first one was 1973 from Singapore our first overseas holiday.
Debra Stone - A letter opener with a Paua shell on the handle. New Zealand wouldn't let us take it in our luggage, so we posted it home to ourselves!
Becky Murfet - In 1984 we went to Europe and I collected match boxes from different countries. Have them in a large glass bowl. Great to look at for memories sake.
Caron Castner - Stines from Germany.
Margie Buckingham - A palm-sided wooden carved elephant from a side trip off my cruise from Singapore to Malaysia & Thailand and back to celebrate my 40th. It sits on my mantelpiece so to deliberately trigger good memories of a younger me.
Frank Nieuwenhuis - 2300 year old oil lamp bought in Israel.
Fay Russell - Turkish tea set.
Valma Blake - Of all the things I've bought on my travels, my favourite is my cat ornament collection that are decorated relative to the country or area I visited.
