It’s Souvenir Sunday; the day we take a look at some of the fun, inexpensive and local souvenirs for sale at airports.

This week’s treats come from Zurich Airport, where there are plenty of things made of chocolate.

And plenty of other souvenirs that a similarly Swiss, but less likely to be nibbled on during the long flight home.

Souvenir Sunday is a regular feature here on StuckatTheAirport.com. So if you find a great airport souvenir that’s inexpensive (around $10), “of” the city or region and, ideally, a bit offbeat, please snap a photo and send it along. If your photo is featured on Souvenir Sunday I’ll send you a special aviation-related souvenir.

Souvenir Sunday: Kiwi treats from Auckland Airport

Every Sunday at the Stuck at the Airport travel blog is Souvenir Sunday, when we feature fun, under $10 items found in airport souvenir shops.

This week: a few treats from New Zealand’s Auckland Airport, which I toured after covering Air New Zealand’s matchmaking flight for my Well Mannered Traveler column on MSNBC.com. (Yes; a matchmaking flight. Not the world’s first matchmaking flight, but definitely the world’s longest.)  You can read From L.A. to Auckland, love is in the air here, and add your vote to the survey about looking for love on an airplane.

But back to Souvenir Sunday. I found heaps of things I wanted to buy at the airport’s Artport shop, which carries Maori carvings and all sorts of fun craft items, like these upholstered “Past Pleasures” plaques, made by New Zealand artists.

But for Souvenir Sunday, Tiki-shaped soaps and and these cute-but-corny candies struck my “made here and under $10” fancy.

Have you found a great souvenir while you’ve been stuck at the airport? If it’s under $10, “of” the city, and sort of offbeat, please take a picture and send it along. Your souvenir may be featured on a future edition of Souvenir Sunday.
