Tacky Tourist Souvenirs to Take Home
When on vacation, you’re posed with endless decisions to make: from which bikini to wear to what chilled beverage to opt for. As everyone knows, though, one of the biggest, most pressing matters you face when visiting somewhere new is what you should bring back! You can either go all out and buy some classy, hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind exorbitantly priced heirloom, or you can take the kitsch route, and cram your suitcase with tacky tchotchkes (which, to be honest, are a hell of a lot more fun).
What are your favourite souvenirs to buy on vacation? Any crazy collections? Let us know in the comments section!
