[QUOTE="BobbyBoucheer, post: 129992697, member: 1416746"] Pet Peve: Hate when people ( family members ) feel the need to buy souvenir gifts when on trips abroad. Inevitably, I end up getting a coffee mug from the place they visit. Not much thought behind the purchase other than being thought of is nice in and of itself, I suppose. However, I find it boorish to buy a " souvenir " that is made in China. To have a Mug that says Maine or Iceland or whatever other place in the world and know that is was made in China is off putting. Ok, ok, I can see where this makes me sound like a ungrateful prick, but a souvenir, a real souvenir, would be something from the area of the world one is visiting. I would rather have a rock, which costs nothing, than a trinket bought out of a catalog from a " souvenir " company. Btw, I'm drinking my Caribou Coffee from my WVU mug that was made in West Virginia...........took my wife many years to find one. To add: The pressure to hold onto the coffee mug and then remember to use it when offending family members visit is also troublesome. [/QUOTE]
