The Quintessential Aussie Souvenir: What Should You Bring Home?

The Quintessential Aussie Souvenir: What Should You Bring Home?

At Allanson Souvenirs, we love helping travellers find something truly memorable to take with them.

Forget the usual boring keyrings (unless they’re really special — we do have a few good ones!). I always say souvenirs should feel like a piece of Australia you can actually share, and we’ve got plenty of those, whether you’re shopping with us in-store or browsing online from your hotel room.

One thing people always come in asking about is our kangaroo scrotum products. They might sound a bit out there at first, but trust me, they’re one of our best sellers. Keyrings and bottle openers made from this truly Aussie material always get a laugh and make for a great story when you get home.

If you’re after something practical, you can’t go wrong with one of our tea towels. They’re bright, fun, and covered in iconic Aussie wildlife and scenery — easy to pack, affordable, and guaranteed to brighten up any kitchen. Magnets are another favourite because they’re small, light, and keep your holiday memories right there on the fridge for everyone to see.

I’m also a big fan of our reusable shopping bags. They’re a handy everyday reminder of your trip and so much better for the planet than single-use bags. And of course, you can’t go past our classic Aussie T-shirts and caps — simple, comfy, and a nice way to wear your love for Australia wherever you go.

Whether you pop in and have a browse in person or order online, we’re here to help you find just the right thing. Take a piece of Australia home and make someone’s day — and if you’re nearby, come say hello, we love hearing about your travels!
