Talking of taking stuff on holidays, what about bringing stuff home?

I’ve long since given this up, preferring to keep the treats for on holiday. I brought rusks back from Greece to make frigania, but it wasn’t the same, nor was the San Valentin wine from the Canary Islands. I know friends who go to Lidl when they’ve got Greek/Italian/French weeks, but I don’t bother.
When working, we all brought back biscuits or sweets from our holiday.

Tiny jars of Marmite come with me wherever I go!

From France : cans of Chocolate Mont Blanc (which as a student I used to eat from the can ?)
Herbs & spices as I can't pass a market stall without indulging
From Oz : TimTams for the DDs. Havianas & Bonds underwear
From Cyprus : Gin from Lidl. €6 there £13 here!
I don't really need any souvenirs but occasionally buy a small piece of local pottery
