Copping souvenirs on your travels are a great way to remember your adventures! There’s nothing quite like physical mementoes to help you remember the good times had on vacation, whether you’re an occasional tourist or an obsessive globetrotter. If you’re not into simple keychains and fridge magnets, then perhaps home decor with a local flair that reflects your travels’ culture and style is for you. Especially if you’re headed down to neighbouring Singapore.
