«A souvenir (…), 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. The object itself has no real significance other than the psychological connection the possessor has with the object as a symbol of past experience. Without the owner’s input, the object’s meaning is invisible.»
