THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!
Happy hump day, folks!
There’ll be no Bloggie Wednesday post today; instead I thought I’d do something fun and have a giveaway instead!
Regular readers will know that whenever I’m away on holiday, as much as I can, I’d buy a gift or two and give ’em away to a lucky reader. It’s my way of including you in my holiday. The Japanese calls it “omiyage” (souvenir), and giving their colleagues souvenirs after they get back from a holiday is something that is widely practised in Japan. Well, it’s practised here on Beautyholics Anonymous too so here’s my souvenir for one lucky reader!
I love checking out travel-exclusive items at duty-free shops at airports that aren’t available in stores and this was something I picked up at KLIA. Now y’all know I love my Guerlain Meteorites and today, one lucky reader will win a travel-exclusive set of 2 mini Guerlain Meteorites worth AU$72.00! Better yet, this giveaway is open worldwide so anyone can enter. Awesome possum. π
This is a sealed box, with plastic wrap and everything, which is why you’re not seeing photos of the actual Mini Meteorites (these are not the regular-sized Meteorites). I didn’t want to tear the plastic wrap off so you’ll have to trust me that the Mini Meteorites really are in there. π
HOW TO ENTER:
Simply leave a comment below answering the following questions:
1. Which country are you from? (this giveaway is open internationally)
2. What’s the best souvenir you’ve been given or bought for yourself?
TERMS & CONDITIONS:
1. This contest is open to Australian and international readers.
2. The total value of the prize in the contest is approximately AU$72.00.

7. One (1) winners will be selected at random. The winner of the giveaway will be announced in the Competition/Giveaways page on 22 March 2015. The winner will also be notified via email.

Australia! My most recent souvenir was a hand blown glass sugar bowl from Mornington Peninsula as a memory of our first family Christmas in Melbourne.
Awesome giveaway Tine! I’m from Indonesia and the best souvenir I’ve ever bought for myself, believe it or not, two foldable umbrellas I got in Japan. I bought them coz they were cute and it was raining cats and dogs when I was there. Best buy ever. It stood against mighty wind and rain like no other umbrella I’ve ever used. Still in a tip top condition 7 years down the road hehe
I’m from the US, and the best souvenir I’ve bought myself is a stuffed dog that looks just like my real dog.

Hi Tine,
I am from Australia.
My favourite souvenir was buying my one and only Louis Vuitton bag whilst I was in Paris, I love it and it always reminds me of the wonderful trip we had in Europe.
I live in Tasmania, Australia, and the best thing I ever brought home was a cheap, Taco bell toy. It was the mascot, the Taco Bell dog and when you pressed on his butt he said “I think I’m in love” in quite a thick accent. My grandmother thought he sounded pretty sexy and she’d freak me out (I was 14) by sitting in the living room and pinching the dog’s butt so he’d say it!
Most amusement out of lest money spent on a souvenir ever!

Hi Tine. I’m from Melbourne, Australia. And the best souvenir I received was a 9000mAh powerbank 2 years ago from my BF. Did not have to worry about my phone running out of battery since then!

Hi Tine! I’m almost too busy salivating at the idea of what’s under that plastic wrap! I live in Perth, Australia. My best omiyage was easily the Alcatraz Jail Pig piggy bank that I was gifted by my best friend when she was travelling America. I was devastated when if fell to its death from my bedroom window years later and smashed into smithereens π
Just look at him! (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3913/14330469382_57e026bfbe_n.jpg)
Whats not to love! (Sorry Mr Pig. R.I.P)
Hi Tine, I’m from Australia. The best souvenir I’ve ever been given was the UD Naked palette, back when it was harder to get here!
Glad to have you back, we missed you!
I’m from Melbourne, Australia and I’m pretty sure the best souvenir I ever got was a necklace from a friend, it was a Paua shell necklace from New Zealand and while it sorta looks like this (http://www.oceanshellnz.com/catalog/images/prodimg/img238.jpg), the picture does not do it justice. It literally looked like I was holding the ocean in my hands with all its mesmerizing colours and shades and embedded textures!
It fascinated me so much that I looked up New Zealand and last year I visited, its every bit as beautiful as the promise of that necklace!
Hi! ^^
I’m from Australia (woop woop), and the best gift I’ve given was a heat/cool pack that I gave to my sister from one of those awesome random-present-shops (in Melbourne actually :D), it has served her very well when she gets cramps during her period (y)
Hi Tine! I’m from Argentina, but I live in California, US. I must confess that the best souvenirs for me are the ones meant to be eaten. I have a special place in my heart for Belgian Chocolate. π

Hi, I am from Pakistan .Honestly speaking no one has gifted me any souvenir ever and as far as what I consider as the best souvenir that I bought for myself was when I went to Dubai with my family I just LOVED the way the Arab women smelled the perfumes that they wore had a very unique scent very different from our usual perfume scents like floral , woody, sweet etc so I went to a perfume shop that carried the perfumes made only in UAE with that particular unique scent and I bought one called Naheed by Amalia at a very affordable price.I can not tell you how much I love it and it may sound strange but every time I wear it, it reminds me of the fun and great time I had with my family at that trip so yeah that is the best thing I bought for myself because now not only I have a great scented perfume in my collection but also something to remind me of those great memories with my family π
Thanks xx
Canada here, my best souvenir would have to be some t-shirts my Dad used to bring back from different countries when he was on the ships when I was little.
I’m from Australia and my best souvenir has either been Swiss chocolate when I went to Europe or my fake Raybans that I got from Vietnam. I wore those to death haha.
Australia!!! and my FAVOURITE souvenir would have to be a slice or purple crystal I bought from a cave merchandise store in Canberra when I was in primary school π
Hi! I’m from Poland. It’s hard to choose one best souvenir. One of the first things coming to my mind is a neclace I bought in Thessaloniki, Greece. The owner of the shop told me she travels a lot, buys a lot of stuff in different corners of the world and sells it in her shop. So originally the neclace probably wasn’t Greek at all. But its design is very original and people keep asking me about the shop I bought it.
I’m from the Philippines and last April I was lucky enough to go to New York. We didn’t have much time to go around and truly explore so I decided to go to the Bite Beauty Lip Lab and I get a customized lipstick. Can’t get more personal than that!
Hello Tine! I’m from singapore but right now I’m in Sydney! The best gift for myself is actually the one way ticket I’ve gotten last year, travelled in australia for two months and I fell in love with this awesome place. Which is why I am back, just for a week, for my friend’s wedding π
I’m from Melbourne, Australia. The best souvenir I bought for myself was 3 years ago, when I was on a business trip (industry conference in Sydney) and came across a Fiddler’s Elbow black cat doorstop! It was perfect as it looks exactly like my cat π

I’m from the US. The best souvenir I’ve gotten is a pair of earrings from Portugal.
I’m from the US and the best souvenir I’ve ever received is a beautiful porcelain dollar from England. My parents had traveled Europe for 3 weeks when I was 10 but it felt like forever and I missed them a lot even though I had a great time with my grandparents. That doll always reminds me of how much I missed them when they were away.
Hi Tine, I am from Australia. The best souvenir I have ever bought for myself is a small brass bell from a temple in Chiang Mai. Beauty wise the best would be a highlighter that is almost a dupe for Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Diffused Heat. Only it cost me about 4 bucks compared to what I paid for the Hourglass! Bought for me – Nepalese temple bells bought for me by my ex son-in-law or a Guess wallet bought for me by an ex work-mate. I love surprises and was blown away by both! Have a great day, Kathryn x

Hey! I’m from Aus but am living in Germany. The best souvenir I ever got was a set of cheap cheap pens from Japan that a friend brought back- but they were super fine-pointed, were erasable and generally amazing. As a stationary aficionado I loved those pens to pieces. Literally. Am now filled with sadness I can’t find anything quite like them here- not even from Daiso π
I’m from USA. My favorite souvenir is a small scale model of the Chichen Itza pyramid in Mexico made of marble. I climbed to the top of the pyramid even though I am afraid of heights so its a symbol of strength to me to have that little reminder.

Probably the most memorable souvenir I’ve bought for myself would be (as cliched as it sounds) a Cheshire Cat T-shirt from Disneyland Paris. I wibbled and hesitated and second-guessed the buy so many times -I was on a very tight student budget and Disneyland prices are, well, sky-high – but my best friend looked me dead in the eye and asked, ‘Will you regret it if you don’t buy it?” And I realized I wouldn’t get the opportunity to visit Disneyland again anytime soon, much less the Parisian one.
It’s one of my favorite everyday-use t-shirts now!

Hi Tine, I live in Canada. The best souvenir I ever bought for myself is a pair of hand-sewn leather gloves from Florence, Italy. I love the idea of “omiyage” from our travels; it seems to make the magic last a little longer, and the memories a little more vivid. How about you, Tine? What’s your favourite souvenir that you have ever received or bought for yourself?

I think i was about 14 years old or maybe younger. My Mum had given me some money for duty free shopping when she sent me off on my flight to the Philippines to meet my Dad. I bought a Givenchy perfume and I thought it was the height of sophistication. I think that is the most memorable souvenior as I learnt that 1) a hot room is perfume’s worst enemy 2) for the first time in my life I felt like an adult shopping at DFS (Duty Free Singapore).

I’m from Australia π and I think my favourite souvenirs that I bring home when I travel are normally a bunch of pretty postcards – I stick them everywhere to remind me of my exciting adventures π plus they’re easy to pack π

I’m from Malaysia. My favourite souvenir from overseas didn’t cost a cent. I was in the early stages of learning floral arrangement and loved how eucalyptus foliage looks in a table arrangement. When the other half went on a company trip to New Zealand, I casually requested for him to bring back a bunch for me. Well, the guy who can’t tell the difference between one kind of leaf and another actually plucked the exact variety of eucalyptus leaves that I wanted for a centrepiece. By the time I saw a real life eucalyptus tree myself in Australia, I realised it was no mean feat sourcing and plucking eucalyptus leaves from the tree. He might have even broken a law or two in the process! Whew!
I’m from Australia and my favourite souvenir is a gorgeous Japanese origami Geisha girl and with so many intricate and complicated paper folds, it is a true work of art π

hi Tine,
I am from West Australia.
My fave souvenir is a handmade cushion cover from Sapa, Vietnam.
Everytime I look at it, it reminds me that someone somewhere in the world has to trek 2 hours from her village just to sell a few handcraft pieces to support her family.

Hullo! Michaela here from Melbourne Australia. Best souvenir I have ever bought was an evening bag from the Ladies’ market in Hong Kong. I haggled them down and it is silver and goes with everything. I think of fond moments from my trip when I wear it.
I’m from the US. The best souvenir I have ever bought was not politically correct, but it was quite a long time ago, a mink jacket in London. I gave it to my auntie, and she still wears it to keep warm in our freezing, snowy winters.

My very best favourite souvenir was a Diptyque Figuier candle purchased at Harrods in London. Ridiculously expensive and indulgent, it made me happy every time I looked at it for a very long time. Worth every penny!
I always buy a little souvenir with a bit of sparkle. I pack them away and love unwrapping them for my tree at Christmas.
Hey, I’m from Australia
My best souvenir ever brought was a little flag pin of the first country I visited….it spawned a large collection that now covers the hat. The hat has been stolen many times by so-called friends being funny, and has been left on a Belgian train, Mongolian taxi and Vietnamese bus but I always get it back somehow. So yeah, the flag pin that started it all

I’m from Australia and the nicest souvenir I got was a shell that my son had picked off the beach for me. He’s 3 and it just melted my heart and I’ll keep it forever.
