ZANY SOUVENIRS
Added on: 16th Dec 2015
MERINO POSSUM
Merino Possum clothing is a New Zealand souvenir that friends and
family will be grateful you brought back for them. Possum fur is known
for being extremely soft and eco-friendly.
LLAMA FOETUSES
On Bolivian streets the tourists amble up and down buying woven bags,
hammocks, and alpaca sweaters at extremely cheap prices. But if
you look closely you’ll find something more than the usual tourist fare:
llama foetuses. Llama foetuses are one of the most important parts
of an offering to Pachamama, Mother Earth, who has a tremendous
following in Bolivia. It is also believed they bring good fortune to
everyone who buys one.
HANDCRAFTED DEVIL PUPPET
The art of Czech marionette and puppet making goes back to the
eighteenth century. They are traditionally hand-carved from wood or
made from plaster. They usually represent all kinds of characters
from devils, witches, and wizards to clowns, kings, and princesses.
GREEN TEA KIT KATS
Green Tea Kit Kats have quickly become the most sought-after
snack from Japan. These epic treats have a sweet matcha flavour
mixed with creamy white chocolate on a crispy wafer that Nestle
has perfected. Next time you’re in Japan, you know what to buy.
GOLD BARS
If you’re rich enough and happen to vacation in the United Arab Emirates
pretty often then you’re probably aware of this super-rich souvenir
that you can find in the Dubai airport. So, if you can afford it then you
should spoil yourself and spend a few thousand dollars on
twenty-four carats of pure gold as a souvenir.
ELEPHANT POOP
You read that right. Good old’ 100% natural elephant poop is available
for a most memorable keepsake of your trip to the Natural History
Museum in London. It even comes with ten sunflower seeds!
ELEPHANT DUNG COFFEE
But wait! There’s more! In the beautiful hills of northern Thailand,
a herd of twenty elephants is excreting some of the world’s most
expensive coffee. Trumpeted as earthy in flavour and smooth on
the palate, the exotic new brew is made from beans eaten by
Thai elephants and plucked a day later from their dung.
Such an exquisite souvenir.
ELEPHANT DUNG BEER
And you thought we were done with elephants…we’re not.
Straight from Japan (shocker) Japanese brewery Sankt Gallen has
gifted the world with Un, Kono Kuro, an expensive (and surprisingly
popular) brew made from coffee beans that have passed through an
elephant. Yes, just like the ones we just talked about.
