Spain Souvenir Haul
While I was in Spain, I bought a couple of bits to bring home. I am actually proud of myself, because I did not go over board with all the souvenirs. Majority of the things that I bought were gifts for my family and friends. I have already handed out most of those gifts, so I will not be including those items in this post. Nonetheless, I still have plenty to share!
1. Adidas Real Madrid soccer ball
I love soccer. Although I was not able to go to a soccer game, I got the next best thing. I bought a Real Madrid soccer ball. I had to ask an employee if I could get a flat one, because it would fit better in my suitcase. Now, I need to find the ball pump, so I can pump it up.
2. Primark goodies (makeup brush and cable tidy)
I had never been to Primark before. One of my favorite YouTubers, Zoella, always does Primark hauls. I figured I had to go in and check it out. I went to the one in Madrid. That location was unbelievable! The store has four floors. Madeline and I managed to look at every floor. I know these are two random things to buy. I have wanted to try a brush like this. Also, I needed the cable tidy things, and they are more expensive in America. I figured I should go ahead and buy them.
3. Tapestry
I got this tapestry on the beach in Valencia. There was a man who was selling them. Some of the girls I was with were buying some, so I figured why not. They were not very expensive and they looked good quality, so we all bought one. I wanted one that had colors I have in room, but had the Spanish style. This one was the best option.
4. Seashells
I love collecting seashells from the beach. When we went to the beach in Valencia, we realized that they had more rocks than seashells. Of course, I had to pick some to bring home.
5. Leather bag (Italy)
Whenever I have the opportunity to leave the country, all my Mom wants is a leather purse. The last time, she just wanted the purse. This time, she decided to upgrade and get a leather purse with a matching wallet. I loved Italy the last time I went, so I made a special trip to Italy to get my Mom her purse and matching wallet. Of course, I had to get myself something as well. I do not have any backpacks, so I figured I would give one a try.
6. Fan
Spain has so many beautiful fans! I knew I wanted one. Madeline and I’s host mom gave us each a fan she picked up. We used them for majority of the time. Once I saw they made hand painted fans, I had to have one. I picked this one up at a shop in Toledo.
7. Artwork
I am always looking for new artwork to put on my wall. During most of my stay, I could not find a lot of artwork. My friends and I went on a trip to Segovia. I made it my mission to find a piece of art. I found this one of the famous aqueduct in Segovia.
8. Jewelry
I was on a mission to get glass blown jewelry, because I love the jewelry I got in Venice on my last trip. Unfortunately, I was not able to find any. When I was losing hope in finding any jewelry, we found some in Italy and Segovia. I got the necklace in the box in Bergamo, Italy. I got the other pieces in Segovia, Spain.
9. Polaroids
Y’all know I love taking photos. Of course, I had to bring my Polaroid camera along to take some pictures.
10. A lot of paper
I think everything is a souvenir, so I tend to keep everything. I have collected a lot of maps, train and plane tickets, receipts, and tons of other things. The goal is to use these items to scrapbook with. They will be used.
Thanks again for reading my post! I enjoy doing haul posts! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
