Holiday Souvenirs.

[Georgiesmum]

Have you ever brought back an unusual souvenir back from holiday?

[Bbbananas]

Yes. Gonorrhoea.

[Bbbananas]

That was a joke. In very poor taste.

Moose droppings from Canada.....................chocolate ones.

Rolled my own cigarettes many years ago. In Albania I asked for 1 (I meant 1 packet). I was given 1 kilo so brought it home and divided it up between fellow rollers.

3 sheets of toilet paper.

I had to 'use the faculties' at Checkpoint Bravo in Berlin way back when. I could not believe the standard of the Russian loo roll. I didn't need to use it luckily (number one's!) but took a piece of what can only be described as sandpaper to show my mates.

A swan made from a baby wipe by a ladyboy in Thailand.

An address (back in the day when people actually wrote to each other and didn't have mobiles) for a lovely guy who later became my boyfriend. He was an outdoor pursuits instructor at the place I was staying.

[Bbbananas]

That takes some beating Ummm.....!

[ChillDoubt]

Apologies, not got my glasses on, the predictive text made it look like facilities as it should read, not faculties. Those I still have, just!

[ummmm]

It was amazing, Salla. How s/he could make something out of nothing.

A tiny little plastic bag (which contained a spare button) of pure white sand from a beach in Tobago - reminds us of days when we were working and could afford exotic holidays!

[friedgreentomato]

A vial of sand from each of the beaches from the Normandy beach landings.

I've got an A3 caricature of me which was done by a street vendor in Time Square on our last day in New York, I love it.

My Ex wife wanted me to bring her back a "typical Swiss" souvenir from Switzerland, I brought her home a packet of Alpen.

I brought the Daughter home a large cuckoo clock.

I brought back a head once that we found washed up in the beach. It did smell a bit though and i wasn't sure what customs would make of it,,so I wrapped it in about 5 plastic carrier bags and smuggled it in with my knickers.

snapped a leaf off from one like in pic from Malta many years ago. took root and grew into the most ugliest plant on my window sill. It died off after a few years.

Bbbananas "I brought back a head once that we found washed up in the beach."

That is a tad worrying!!

[ChillDoubt]

A head? In your knickers?

I hope it wasn't a fish head!!

[Bbbananas]

We thought it was a human head when we found it - in a state of decay. It was grotesque and quite a frightening thing to behold. It turned out to be head that had detached itself from a tailor's dummy, I imagined all sorts of fun to be had back home.

I scared my daughter half to death by putting it near the dog kennel and asking her to go and feed the dog. The best thing was when i took it into work, put it on the end of a broom shaft and crouched under a colleagues office window so all she saw was this horrible scary head floating past her window. She screamed - I was in real trouble that day. :-)
