Travel souvenirs as home decors

Most travelers would bring with them souvenirs from their trips and highlight them as décors in prominent areas of their home. For instance, my mom bought some small porcelain glasses and other handicrafts during our Europe trip, and now they are proudly displayed in a glass cabinet in the living room. She wouldn’t miss buying something wherever we went, even some shell collection when we were at a grocery in Finland. Now they are displayed on top of the refrigerator. These souvenirs, though trivial for some, make her happy as they remind her of her travels. I remember I bought some handicrafts during my trip to Thailand to smarten my room as well.
