Tried a no-souvenir policy on my city break and it worked

I decided not to buy any trinkets during my weekend in Chicago. Instead, I took photos and wrote notes. It felt good to come home with just memories.

Actually, quitting shot glass collecting CHANGED my shelves. They were packed with cheap glass before. Now I have room for stuff I actually LIKE.

Hey @terry31, but shot glasses AREN'T just cheap glass! Each one holds a cool memory from a trip or a fun night. My crowded shelf is a visible diary of good times, not just stuff. Making room for new things means losing those little pieces of history. A full shelf can actually show passion and life, not clutter.

Ever notice how some people only see clutter where others see a story? @terry31 swapping glass for "stuff they like" just shows we all value different things. Kinda makes you wonder what your own stuff says about you.
