Happy Souvenir Sunday!
Each Sunday here at StuckatTheAirport.com we take a look at some of the fun things you can buy at airports for under $10.
This week we picked up a few souvenirs from the upcoming Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics that will be taking place in February.
Olympics souvenirs will be sold at the games of course, but they’re already for sale on-line and at the Vancouver International Airport.
Turns out you can also buy Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics souvenirs in Seattle, at a pop-up shop in the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) that will stay open through March 7th, 2010.
But what to buy? A good choice would be something that bears the image of Quatchi, the Sasquatch-like creature chosen to be the mascot of this winter’s games. Or of Sumi, Miga, or one of the other sidekick creatures.
But while the USA Store on Sea-Tac’s Concourse C sells t-shirts, sweatshirts and other Olympics souvenirs, there’s not much you can buy here for under $10.
So for Souvenir Sunday we considered making an exception and raising our shopping limit above $10.
Instead, we settled for that old stand-by – chocolates – from this small section of stickers and other small – very small – under $10 items.
Have you found a great souvenir while you were stuck at the airport? If it’s under $10, “of” the city or region and, ideally, a bit offbeat, please snap a photo and send it along. It may show up as next week’s pick for Souvenir Sunday.
