Well, that’s a lot better than what I brought home from my first trip to Las Vegas.

A $10 "come-along" in a pawn shop in Alaska. Just had to get my friend to drive it 4K+ miles back to my house.

Yeah but I hear they have effective treatment for that these days.

Well not exactly a vacation souvenir but a gift that was brought to me as a result of a friend stopping in a town I used to live in out west.

Had him look up a couple of friends there. They sent me a fire hydrant as a “remember us”.

It’s in my back yard mounted to my deck….

Did the PSA finally open in Myrtle?

I think I might need a few Myrtle themed ARs.

Had a retail store way back, and had Texas Turd Birds for sale. Similar to the Moose Nugget thing, but were single horse turds varnished then decorated with toothpick legs, feet and wing and tail feathers, and some kind of goofy head. Similar to the ones in the link.

Never been on vacation...
My sister did bring me a shot glass from one of her beach vacations that has a moose head and antlers on it. Probably closest thing I have.
ETA: I feel it qualifies since I don't drink.

We had that same Elvis clock on the wall for years. Think it finally died, sadly.

Went to the Daytona 500 about 30 years ago.

The only souvenir I came back with was a 1/43 scale BTCC Volvo 850 driven by Rydell.

Magnets.

When I first started traveling I thought collecting magnets would be fun, all those destinations you've been and the states you've visited. After seeing friends & family's kitchens, and settling into a new place, I stopped. I concluded all those magnets were simply dust/grease collectors clogging up my fridge making it look like shit, which is what all my friend's kitchen started to look like.

Today, I just take pictures. Keep them on-file, a few I've had printed up as portraits.

A Barrel Man. Remove the barrel and his arms and something else pop out.
