Souvenir Sunday: treats from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

05/16/10

Until my most recent visit, I’d spent much more time at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport than I had in the city itself. That was fine with me. Schiphol, with its wide array of art, entertainment, services and amenities, is a great place to spend a few hours. In addition to hundreds of lounge chairs, there’s a →

Souvenirs small and spunky

05/15/10

It’s not quite Souvenir Sunday yet, but I wanted to share these fun photos from my adventure in The Netherlands. I used to think stamps and coins made the perfect, pocket-sized gifts, but now I’m thinking buttons would be better. And… where would you wear these shoes? →

Souvenir Sunday: Virgin hot air balloons and Eurostar uniforms

05/09/10

While researching a story about recycling efforts by airlines and airports, I came across Worn Again, a London company that made a line of small bags and jackets out of a decommissioned Virgin hot air balloon (you can order items in any color, as long as its red). Worn Again also makes a variety of →

Each Sunday we take a look at some of the fun souvenirs you can buy for about $10 if you find yourself stuck at the airport.

Souvenir Sunday: funny soap and rescued tools

04/18/10

The 40th anniversary of Earth Day arrives on April 22nd so to do my part I thought I’d share a couple of smart, good-for-the-earth souvenirs I found recently on a road trip in Oregon’s Mt. Hood Territory. The first is this funny looking bar of soap -“designed to eliminate the unused center of traditional soap →

Souvenir Sunday at Fairbanks International Airport

04/04/10

It’s Souvenir Sunday, the day we focus on fun, offbeat and inexpensive items you can find at airports. And I’m tickled that this week’s Souvenir Sunday items come to us from Fairbanks International Airport (FAI), courtesy of Bobbie Egan of Alaska Airlines. The first souvenir she sent over is this teeny-tiny brush, which has a →

Souvenir Sunday: 22-foot tall candles and tiny Lego pilots

03/21/10

I spent the last few days poking around Oregon’s Mt. Hood territory, stopping in small towns with ‘wonder what’s there’ names such as Boring, Rhododendron, Happy Valley, ZigZag and Damascus. Visiting Damascus was a special treat, because out in front of the Damascus Fire Station there’s a 22-foot-tall candle. For years, this was just an →

Souvenir Sunday: Amelia Earhart luggage

03/14/10

Earlier this week, while waiting for Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger’s presentation at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, I spent some time in the Amelia Earhart exhibit. And while I don’t think I’ll take up flying my own plane anytime soon, I keep thinking about getting some new luggage. Amelia Earhart endorsed a long →
