When traveling, many people like to snag themselves something to remember their trip. Collecting items like pins, popcorn buckets, t-shirts and more. Sometimes it's the reason why some of us travel. Those who travel often budget for large purchases such as flights, hotels, and excursions. In addition to those purchases, souvenirs are often a large part of travel because they represent the places people travel tp.

Shopping while on vacation, including purchasing souvenirs happens to be a billion-dollar industry. In 2021 gift, novelty, and souvenir store sales in the United States amounted to around 19 billion U.S. dollars. Souvenirs can be a personal memento of someone's time traveling as well as a present to give to friends, family, and coworkers.
