momentos
Souvenirs from experiences
Momentos is a common misspelling of mementos, the plural of memento—a keepsake or souvenir that serves as a reminder of a person, place, or event.
The spelling with an o likely comes from confusion with moment, though the word derives from a Latin term meaning "remember."
