i'm not a collector
so i was hanging out in utah trying to figure out what to take home as a souvenir. we wandered around searching for gifts for people and for ourselves. i just couldn't think of anything i needed or wanted (same problem during christmas or other gift bearing activities). im not much of a cute trinket person, not a shot glass person, not into the tshirts anymore, no need for mugs ... i was thinking of any collections i had that i could contribute to to remember the different places or events or travels and none came to mind. then i saw this and i really wanted it and it fit in.
