It's still fairly new, but it's a web site I'm sure will be a favorite of many here. It's aptly called Crap Souvenirs, and contains photos and descriptions of same. Yes, a few really are crap, or depictions thereof; but most are just unbelievably tacky.

So, who among us will be the first to post the tackiest Disney souvenir in your collection?

when I was doing a lot of flying for work, I started getting a silly magnet in the airport gift shops. did you know that just about every state has a cow magnet with their name on it?

and when we did some cross country driving vacations, we continued.

the weirdist one was from alaska with dried, and shellacked moose poo!

Great website. I wish I knew where my California Snowman globe was! :D:
One of the reasons so many souvenirs look the same is that usually come from the same company and they just imprint the city/attraction's name on it. It's cheap, but it pretty much kills the uniqueness of most souvenirs. Since moving to the buying side of merchandise I have seen the catalogs and the design sheets. The catalogs are massive-especially the Amerigift Corp one (they seem to have a lock on Florida and the Caribbean). Fun to look through too.

Nothing perishable! and it had to fit in a small space in my carry on 'equipment" bag.

I remember we used to go to Tijuana when I was a kid. One trip we took a few relatives--forgot if they were Dad's or Mom's, I think Dad's--anyway, they bought a pack of cigarettes made of horse manure. I still remember asking to see the pack, and there was a forbidden word on the pack, used a few times, to describe what was in the cigarettes. It assured the buyer that no mule "stuff" was used, only pure horse "stuff". I wonder if it would still cause cancer/lung disease, or not?
