Favorite Souvenir

[KrzyKtty]

Hey,

Thought I would ask what was your favorite Souvenir from the parks that you just couldn't leave without? Last time for me, it was a Kimono from Japan in International Showcase. That and a Christmas ornament (we get a new one every time).

Just thought this would be fun thread, but feel free to delete if it is against posting rules.

That's a hard one. If it's just one item. It was "The Last Resort" framed Pin and print from 2013

Wow! That would be special! I have never really looked at the pins before. Maybe I should check them out this time.

Pins
Treats (not really a souvenir)
T-shirts
Each child picks one special gift. (Eg. My niece(5) chose a Rapunzel music box after meeting Rapunzel and we bought her a Pascal pin and a few trinkets to keep in it).

When travelling as an extended family, we usually do a "secret Santa" type thing. Each adult draws a name of another family member and has to chose the souvenir for them within a set budget. For the "shopping challenged" in the group, we allow each person to brainstorm with others but no one is allowed to make suggestions for their own gift. We usually exchange gifts a day or so ahead of time in case there was a must-have souvenir that someone was holding out for. So much fun!

Most of the time we will only purchase a couple of refillable coffee mugs. The Mrs. and I both take coffee to work with us , so we get a lot of use out of them. Sometimes a WDW wall calendar.

I have 2 items...the first is my Binford Tools T-shirt from "Home Improvement" that I purchased several years ago in HWS.
The second are salt & pepper shakers shaped like the trash receptacles in the lands in MK....Just a little bit of the Magic Kingdom every time we sit down for dinner!

We got silhouettes done in Liberty Square. Love them because they're "personalized" and unique and a great way to decorate the house and have a little dose of Disney in our lives every day!

We also got sun catchers from Arribas Bros. cart in Adventureland. Brings a smile to my face every time.

Wow. That is cool.

Mine are:
(1) Caricature of my daughter as Ariel from our first trip. Great souvenir, even better memory and story.
(2) Very Bradley Mickey hipster - I have carried it every day since a fall trip in 2013.

A dated pin and a dated fridge magnet.

I love my R2-D2 popcorn bucket my boys got me, a few years ago, but my fave is the cooking apron they got me at Villains In Vogue that says "Queen's (Poisons) Recipes" with a pic of the evil queen. Then below it says " Special Formulas By Request - Call 555-IMA-WITCH". I wear it every October. I like the villains.

Yes.
First saw it on Main Street.
The one they had on display had a little damage so we tracked down another copy at Disney Springs
Not the only piece we have.
Another great one is "Hitchhiking ghosts" by Michelle St. Laurent

Mickey Sorcerer statue - the stars & moon on his hat light up.

And Lumiere that also lights up

On those dark dreary nights, I turn out the lights, switch on my Disney battery operated statues and think pleasing Disney thoughts.

It's a toss up between my collection of legacy paper fast passes and my collection of anniversary and special event pins.

We had silhouettes done of our kids when they were in elementary school and gave them as a gift to grandparents at Christmas. Those silhouettes sat on their mantel for decades. Really special memories since that was many decades ago.

Embroidered jackets, sadly last year they began to only have cheaply made sew ons at best.

For me it has to be the Mascot Figurines they released in 2014..I was hoping they would have made a series of them. But, they decided to just stick with the fab five naturally.
