This Is Supposedly The Best Souvenir Florida Has To Offer
When traveling, many people like to snag themselves something to remember their trip, a souvenir. Collecting items like pins, popcorn buckets, t-shirts and more. Sometimes it’s the reason why some of us travel. Those who travel often budget for large purchases such as flights, hotels, and excursions. In addition to those purchases, souvenirs are often a large part of travel because they represent the places people travel.
Shopping while on vacation, including purchasing souvenirs happens to be a billion-dollar industry. In 2021 gift, novelty, and souvenir store sales in the United States amounted to around 19 billion U.S. dollars. Souvenirs can be a personal memento of someone’s time traveling as well as a present to give to friends, family, and coworkers.
Recently, Savoteur.com, has compiled a list of some of the best souvenirs from every state. They found items like a “Roll Tide T-shirt” from Alabama, Kona Coffee from Hawaii, overalls from Roundhouse in Oklahoma, and a can of Spam in Minnesota.
What souvenir was listed the best in Florida?
There are many items a tourist can find in Florida. From keychains, Mickey Mouse ears, to seashells, and beach sand. The souvenir listed as Florida’s best is key lime pie from the Key Lime Pie Company in Key West. Savoteur’s list is a bit subjective; surely Disney merch like Mickey Mouse ears are more popular as souvenirs, but we can’t argue that key lime pie is great.
Some souvenirs can easily be ordered online and shipped basically anywhere. But where’s the fun in that? Venturing off to a new place and finding the perfect souvenir seems way more ideal.
