Traveler purchases vary from person to person. Some people form entire collections of souvenirs, ball caps or golf balls as an example. Some people mail postcards out to friends and family. Others pick up an ashtray for that one uncle that smokes or a business card holder for that insurance agent who was so helpful. Aside from souvenirs, some travelers come across something special to purchase, possibly even something to enjoy over and over again. And, some purchases are unique and striking: conversation openers.
