Travel souvenirs can cost a fortune, so it doesn’t make sense buying them if your loved ones don’t enjoy them. Some people aren’t huge fans of fridge magnets, postcards, key chains, and similar travel souvenirs because they find them useless—but there are other gifts you can buy for them instead.
Food Bonanza
Food is always a good present and it will transport your loved ones to places they haven’t had the chance to visit themselves. Buy some local chocolate, spices, beer, or some other specialties that the country you’re in is known for because they’ll allow your friends and family to get a taste of faraway places.
Practical Presents
Some travel souvenirs serve no purpose, while others can be quite practical. If you’re buying a present for a loved one who doesn’t enjoy decorative souvenirs, opt for useful items instead such as lighters, kitchen cloths, reusable grocery bags, pens, and more.
Personal Touch
The whole point of buying travel souvenirs is to show your loved ones that you thought about them during your travels. If they’re not huge fans of postcards and fridge magnets, buy them something more personal that reminded you of them and aligns with their interests such as books, clothes, and jewelry.
