It’s always fun to look back on a trip and think of all the memories you made, and there’s no better way to remind yourself of that trip than by starting a collection! Every place you go, pick up the same item so you can have your own collection of memories. Here are some easy-to-pack and cheap options for you.
Postcards
Postcards are always a great idea to collect, since they weigh nothing and are flat. You can buy them and hang them up on a wall like a piece of art and be able to reminisce every day about all the places you’ve been.
Maps
Maps are another unique item that could become a piece of art in your home. Maps are super easy to get, normally you can even get them for free at the visitor’s center of the city you’re visiting. They’re also easy to pack, and you can actually mark all the places you went during your trip so you can remember everything!
Magnets
Magnets are always useful to have around, so you can put notes and photos on your fridge. And what better way to start collecting them by picking them up during your travels! If you’re going to go out and buy them anyway, you might as well put your money towards something nostalgic.
