The best souvenirs are the ones that mean nothing to other people. No one else knows that the lump of black stone gathering dust on a shelf in the kitchen is actually a piece of volcanic rock picked up in Iceland on a romantic weekend break. Or that you found that unremarkable little basket, now filled with cotton wool balls, on gap-year travels to Malaysia and carried it home in your rucksack.
“It’s like extending the holiday, by taking a piece of it home”
