Hit the supermarket - Souvenir tip

The simplest and cheapest way to do your souvenir shopping is at a supermarket.

Almost anyplace you travel, there will be a traditional food, like "Vermont maple syrup" or "Scottish shortbread." Great supermarket gifts include a specialty bottle of oil and vinegar, a local bottle of wine or alcohol, exotic spices, teas and coffee -- and don't get me started on snacks like chocolate, dried fruit, and nuts.

Your friends will be delighted to receive a box of cookies from a foreign country, and you'll remember your trip every time you prepare some hot chocolate you purchased in Switzerland.
