Brits spend a total of £1bn a year on holiday souvenirs, a survey has revealed.
The average tourist shells out £23.40 on three items every time they go abroad. Most popular are local sweets, wines or liqueurs, brought home by 68% of us. Next are foods (51%), works of art (44%) and olive oil (43%).
A third buy fridge magnets, while around a quarter splash out on key rings, tea towels and traditional local headgear like sombreros. Other keepsakes to emerge in the survey by hotels.com include an Amazon blow dart set, bottled snake wine and a tarantula in a glass.
Half of people reckoned they put the tat to good use. Hmmm, I doubt it.
That's the trouble with Johnny Foreigner, where are the good, old fashioned sticks of rock?

Weird slovak booze for me. Tasted like alcoholic cough medicine.
