OK, so three blogs in one day is a little excessive, but I just had to get this one in. Courtesy of my Wanderlust newsletter, here are the tackiest travel souvenirs that are sold around the world:
1. A gravy boat bearing a picture of Saint Therese de Lisieux - the 'Little Flower of Jesus', one of the most popular Catholic saints.
2. A Virgin Mary ashtray from Rome, bought, perhaps, in a bid to gain some divine help in giving up smoking?
3. A donkey that dispenses a cigarette out of its bottom when you pull its tail.
4. A wooden toilet seat with a Spanish flag on the lid - a male appendage pops out when it's opened.
5. A Betty Boo flamenco pottery doll.
6. A Chairman Mao cigarette lighter.
7. A gold waving cat from Hong Kong.
8. A leprechaun bottle opener/magnet with a rainbow, pot of gold and an 'I Love Ireland' banner.
9. An Apron with a picture of a naked Roman statue. (I have to admit that Ollie and I bought one of these for a friend on a trip to Sorrento)
10. An 'I Love Hawaii' fridge magnet in the shape of a surfboard.
My personal travel tat includes an 'I LOVE NY' fridge magnet with a hologram that switches from Manhattan Island to a subway train, Tootise Rolls from LA, manga postcards from Japan and of course some wooden tulips from Holland xx
