Buying vacation mementos
Souvenir shopping is the activity of browsing for and purchasing mementos while traveling—items meant to commemorate a trip or bring home as gifts.
It often involves tourist-oriented shops selling local crafts, keychains, magnets, and other trinkets: We spent the afternoon souvenir shopping in the old town.
The practice ranges from hunting for authentic local goods to grabbing airport tchotchkes.
