Matchbooks

Collecting matchbooks is a fun and free souvenir idea. Not sure why (I don't smoke), but I would always grab matchbooks from places I visited or dined at, and I just realized that I have a nice collection now. I guess I subconsciously collected these.

Then I remembered:

My grandparents traveled the world, and collected matchbooks from every single place they visited. Unfortunately, the matchbooks were thrown away after they died.

Do you think it’s good for this theme?

    What a good idea. I used to do this on a much smaller scale, but then I stopped and I'm not sure why.
