| Posted By: Sarah Posted On: Sep 11, 2005 Views: 965 | Souvenirs Aww, soap is actually a good souvenir to give as a gift. A lot of people don't like getting gifts that take up space and don't fit their decor, but a consumable like soap from say the San Francisco Soap Company or whatever is really nice because they get a momento from a far off place, but then they can use it up and not have to display some chachki that they don't really want anyway. If it's a souvenir for yourself from a trip, I think journals can be nice, but really anything that has at least a dual purpose (like a piece of pottery from Mexico that you can use as a serving dish or even a coffee mug with a town's name on it or whatever). It sucks to get things that just sit there with some place name on them, clogging up space. Apparently I had a lot of feelings about souvenirs. |

| Posted By: GirlUWant Posted On: Sep 11, 2005 Views: 936 | RE: Souvenirs My daughter brought back a really cool little metal lamp that lookds like the Eiffel tower from Paris that I think was a great choice, except for that the plug is for France and we haven't had it converted yet! lol |
| Posted By: lameass Posted On: Sep 11, 2005 Views: 917 | RE: RE: RE: Souvenirs It's spelled tchotchke. Please respect the Yiddish, man. |
| Posted By: GirlUWant's Daughter Posted On: Sep 11, 2005 Views: 911 | RE: Souvenirs I was so going to mention my lamp because it's awesome...and my mom, my plug isn't just for France, it's used in all countries of Europe except the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta. |

| Posted By: GirlUWant's Daughter Posted On: Sep 11, 2005 Views: 906 | RE: Souvenirs I copied and pasted...who cares. Shut the Fuck up. |
| Posted By: adam Posted On: Sep 11, 2005 Views: 900 | RE: Souvenirs that wasnt me again! it was the other adam dont hate me because i am moving into your place and marrying your mother... |
| Posted By: Eve Posted On: Sep 11, 2005 Views: 897 | RE: Souvenirs Thanks Syrgot I didnt know what tchotchke meant either. |
| Posted By: Syrgot Posted On: Sep 11, 2005 Views: 882 | RE: Souvenirs You're welcome. And lameass, I apologize for not correcting the spelling. At least I got the meaning from the phonetic version though, eh? |
| Posted By: Sarah Posted On: Sep 11, 2005 Views: 879 | RE: Souvenirs Yeah, I know the proper spelling is tchotchke, but I usually go with the Office Space version. Remember that restaurant where the Jennifer Aniston character worked, kind of like a lame Friday's or something? It was called Chachki's and that always sticks in my head. Not that it matters, at any rate... The point is useless souvenirs suck. |
