What do you bring back from abroad now?

A magnetic! 🤣

Yes Rosie the very same shop. I brought a goose for every family member. The wooden items came from a lovely local craft shop in Huntsville, which was the home of my oldest friend. I also have crafts from the Indian reservation.

From France earlier this year I brought back a supply of Savon de Marseilles soaps and some Rhodia long thin notepads with checked paper, which I use for my shopping lists. Portugal next month - probably just a few photos and DH, possibly a Christmas tree decoration. Our Christmas tree is a lovely reminder of where we have been over the years.

Fridge Magnet

Christmas tree ornaments and I've previously bought some Clarins skincare bargains on the plane.

From Canada I brought back a glass Canada Goose Christmas tree decoration. They were from the Christmas Shop in Niagara.
Also from Canada a carved wood Canada Goose and bread knives with wooden handles. The blade is set in such a way so as to enable it to cut straight slices of bread. No more sloping loaves.

I brought back a couple of Christmas baubles from that very shop (if you mean the one in Niagara on the Lake) only last month I loved some of the tea towels that had the sayings on but thought them a little expensive for what they were. I love Christmas tree baubles from holidays, they bring back happy memories.
Your bread knife sounds intriguing, I could certainly do with one, the slope gets worse with every slice

Over the years we have bought :

From France - wine, lovely cheeses, baguettes, Madeleines (sp).
From Greek Islands - Metaxa brandy, olive oil, pretty, cheap rings from markets.
From Spain - little flamenco dress and matching shoes for GDG when she was small.
From Italy - spaghetti dishes and colourful jugs.
So much more!

A Christmas tree ornament with the name of the country on. Every Christmas our tree brings back lots of memories.

That's a lovely idea Weddingbelle123 nice to remember holidays like that.

We bought a lovely bauble for the Christmas tree from Santorini.

I used to bring back fridge magnets, tea towels and souvenir teaspoons.

I now have an integral fridge so cannot put magnets on it, I’ve more tea towels than I can squeeze into the drawer, and my extensive spoon collection went to the charity shop this morning.

Christmas tree ornaments.

Nothing in particular just anything that takes my fancy, avoid any sort of tat or clutter.

A leaf from the African bush. Myself and Dd were in safari in South Africa on my 65th birthday, she'd bought me a book so I have the lwaf tucked inside. Treasured memories

Just something for my twin daughters and 4 grandchildren.

Of course, depending on where .. A book perhaps of photography from the country / city visited or a famous product or 2.

If a business trip, then a little something for my hubs.

Scarves or leather gloves for example or a wool sweater ..

Honey, olive oil, a small gift for the grandkids. I might buy a trinket. I love scarves too. My husband buys leather belts 🙁

I wish I could afford to go abroad ...

Oh and happy memories and dog hairs (they have 3) and the occasional insect bite

We only go to our caravan but daughters always bring a fridge magnet, whether UK or abroad

I go to Vermont so I bring back Maple syrup. There is a small business which makes it from their own trees in the village where my daughter lives.

I’m enjoying this thread. I usually bring back a t towel or craft things when in the USA and other bits and bobs that catch my eye.

Photos and fridge magnets. My fridge is a haven of memories!

I have not been away, but if I had I would have brought back the sort of things I always do buy when travelling:
postcards of the places it is impossible to take good photos of

a book or two, or three or four.
