The essence of souvenirs
3. Macarons
If you go to France you will not be able to stop eating these delicious traditional cookies, so we think you will also want to take some to those who wait for you at home. Macarons are the ideal souvenir, especially for lovers of sweets.
Macarons or macaroons are traditional French cookies made from ground almonds, egg white, sugar and icing sugar. This exquisite sweet emerged in the 16th century and it was in the 19th century when two rounded bases began to be joined with a filling in the middle. The macarons, in addition to being delicious, are perfect for gifts due to their striking colors and perfect presentation.
4. Tea set
If you travel to the mythical Morocco, perhaps you can give your most special friends a beautiful tea set. Morocco is one of the most famous countries for its tea culture, it is a tradition that has spread over the years and that defines it as a people.
A souvenir that they will surely appreciate is that you bring them some of the most delicious teas sold in the African country. If you also add a beautiful tea set so that they can taste them, you will look like never before.
5. Venetian masks
If you have the good fortune to travel to romantic Venice, one of the souvenirs that you can take with your friends are the traditional Venetian masks. After all, the Venice carnival is one of the most famous in the world and also one of the most traditional.
The first carnival in Venice was held in the 13th century and since then it has been one of the most special traditions in the region. Giving away one of the Venetian masks can become one of the best souvenirs you can ever make.
The key to showing off the souvenirs that you decide to give away is to decipher the essence of the place and transfer it to a detail that your friends and family may have in their homes.
It does not matter the size, nor the price, sometimes the simplest but the most picturesque is what our friends appreciate the most. After all, a souvenir is like having a piece of that land miles away.
