Souvenir

A souvenir (from French, for a remembrance or memory),memento, keepsake, or token of remembrance is an object a person acquires for the memories the owner associates with it. A souvenir can be any object that can be collected or purchased and transported home by the traveler as a memento of a visit. While there is no set minimum or maximum cost that one is required to adhere to when purchasing a souvenir, etiquette would suggest to keep it within a monetary amount that the receiver would not feel uncomfortable with when presented the souvenir. The object itself may have intrinsic value, or simply be a symbol of past experience. Without the owner's input, the symbolic meaning is invisible and cannot be articulated.

Souvenirs as objects

The tourism industry designates tourism souvenirs as commemorative merchandise associated with a location, often including geographic information and usually produced in a manner that promotes souvenir collecting.

Throughout the world, the souvenir trade is an important part of the tourism industry serving a dual role, first to help improve the local economy, and second to allow visitors to take with them a memento of their visit, ultimately to encourage an opportunity for a return visit, or to promote the locale to other tourists as a form of word-of-mouth marketing. Perhaps the most collected souvenirs by tourists are photographs as a medium to document specific events and places for future reference.

Souvenirs (duo)

Souvenirs is a Danish pop duo consisting of Sofie Bonde (vocals, guitar) and her husband Nils Torp (bass, keyboards, guitar, violin, cello, accordion, vocals etc.). The group was formed in Hjeds ved Suldrup in 1993. The music for the band was written by Torp in collaboration with Johnny Voss. Souvenirs is best known for hits like "Han tog et nattog", "Jeg troed du var hos Michael" and "Jeg hader Susanne".

Souvenirs won the Danish Music Awards in 2004 for Danish Top Album of the Year.

  • Souvenirs (John Prine album)

    Souvenirs is the 14th studio album by John Prine, released in 2000. Originally intended for German-only release, the album consists of new performances of some of Prine's most popular early songs.

    Reception

    Writing for Allmusic, critic Zac Johnson wrote of the album "John Prine's contemporary touches on these old favorites may provide new insights, but the new versions rarely surpass the originals." Music critic Bill Frater wrote "His story-songs still sound touching and sentimental, and comfortable as an old pea coat. If for some reason you don't know these classic tunes, this is worth getting and if you do you'll appreciate getting reacquainted."

    Souvenirs

    by: Bonnie Owens

    I've got my souvenirs that's one thing you can't take away
    I've got all my memories of yesterday
    Though you've gone and left me here to cry these tears
    You can break my heart but you can't take my souvenirs
    I can't forget the day we met so long ago
    The first time that we kissed I knew I loved you so
    All these these things're burned into my memories
    The souvenirs that you can't take away from me
    I've got my souvenirs...
    [ guitar ]
    I keep your letters and I keep your Valentines
    Wonder signs of love that say you'll be mine
    I still have your picture hangin' on the wall
    They're my souvenirs and I'm glad I kept them all
    I've got my souvenirs...
