rn my souvenirs are mostly magnets, stickers, and trinkets. i'm curating a lived-in feel in my new apartment which means little things from everywhere to match my transient lifestyle. and! also been snagging postcards wherever i can in anticipation for my future penpal :-)
my favorite gifts to give (and receive) are trinkets! even if you think they’re stupid or useless, there is so much love and meaning by looking at something in passing and being filled by the memory or thought of someone! i love perusing thrift store, antique store, etc… and picking out little objects that give me the same energy or memory of a parti person in my life!! i’ve received such an assortment of trinkets to build my collection with and it brings a smile every time i give them a glance. a museum of loved ones. (also it can be uber cheap)!!
Sometimes you try your best and everything seems to hit the fan no matter how much you try, so you take that raincheck and take yourself out for a day.
This is what I call it hahahah made by mums everywhere but the greased up version is sold along stalls in Mumbai. Two regular slices of white bread, buttered, and the middle filling is cream cheese with red onions, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and some minced chillis. All veggies chopped mini cube size so they blend with the cheese. Toasted crispy.
