NCP Blog: Unpacking Summer Travel

Will you be traveling this summer? Or maybe you already took your vacation or went away for the July 4th holiday. My family and I have been a bit busier than usual so far this summer, so we’ll be sticking close to home and doing some fun day trips.

Souvenirs

 

Are souvenirs as popular as they used to be? I still like to buy souveniers when I go to a new destination, most of the time I stick to buying refrigerator magnets or ornaments. When I look at them it brings back memories of fun vacation adventures.

 

Popular souvenirs include:

Ornaments

Keychains

T-shirts/sweatshirts

Postcards

Photo frames

Refrigerator magnets

Shot glasses

Tote bags

And so on!
