CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENTS - This isn't an ordinary Christmas Tree! It is one full of travel memories! Gary and Laura Crissman collect ornaments as they travel to create a 'Travel Tree'. Ornaments can sometimes be difficult to find, but key chains work too! The All Fifty Club Store sells an 'I've Been to All 50' to complete your collection. Buy here. 

QUILT – Laura and Vince Bobin have a stunning quilt commemorating their journey to all 50 states, crafted by Laura's mother, Jessica Vance Schuster. Jessica began creating the quilt in 2004, as they embarked on their travels, adding a square for each state with the year it was visited.

Another idea - making a quilt out of T-shirts collected from every state.

PICTURE FRAME AND PHOTO - Taking a picture in every state is a given, but placing it in a special frame makes it special! Ryan and Christy Johnson came up with this clever idea and are still adding states and countries to their 'Travel Wall'.  What a great conversation piece for visitors!  Many souvenir shops sell frames but you could also make your own frame using items from that state - sand, seashells, etc.

MAGNETS - Picking up a magnet in each state is an inexpensive, easy souvenir to build into a collection. Ed Sibal has an impressive refrigerator magnet collection.  Besides each, state travelers can collect magnets from favorite places, cities, parks, and endless possibilities.  Thank you to Ed Sibal for sharing a picture of his collection.

MAGNETS - Teresa Hanula and her pup Leonard Lee also have a wonderful display on their fridge!  Instagram - Live Love Leonard Lee

MUGS -  Bruce DeGroff shared this picture of his mug collection.  If you feel the need to travel but can't, grab a mug fill it up, and reminisce about your visit there!

THIMBLES -  Maureen Sweeney collected a thimble from each state.  (along with eating/drinking and taking a picture of the welcome sign in each state).

SPOONS -  Bob Rainville has a souvenir spoon collection, mounted in a special wooden spoon holder in the shape of the United States. There are 50 spoons in the holder, each purchased in, and named after, each of the 50 states. They are in alphabetical order, left to right, and top to bottom.  It took him over 40 years to complete the set. Well done!

SPOONS -  Cameron Meier has also collected spoons from all 50 states.
