There are many souvenirs people usually buy when they travel around the glob, i.e postcards, coins, keys, shot glasses or sometimes shirts.
A refrigerator magnet, or fridge magnet, is a popular one too. I started out collecting fridge magnets on a business trip in Singapore. I have since collected the magnets from different places I have visited for over 10 years.
Most were from the places that I’ve been, some were gifts from my friends who were on holiday, and some were from my husband's trips. They bought them for me because they love me (don’t they? :p).
My masterpiece: my husband drove from Denver where he was on business trip to Wyoming just to get this Wyoming's magnet for me.
These magnets were bought in Minnesota

just continued to cover up my refrigerator doors with these things every
trip I made. They bring memories and make me happy every time I look at
them.
Life is too short to have a blank and boring refrigerator, let’s cover and brighten it up with this fantastic collection:)
