momento

Sentimental souvenir kept

Momento is a common misspelling of memento, a keepsake or souvenir that serves as a reminder of a person, place, or event: She kept the ticket stub as a momento of their first date.

The spelling likely arises from confusion with moment, but memento comes from a Latin word meaning "remember."
