I have a couple of necklaces that I bought and love. A cool Snow Whit glass from the coop. And my Mickey ears.
Love your mention of bowls as I forgot I have a graduated set of 3 bowls I bought years ago and use constantly as you do. In Epcot Japan, I always buy a small soup spoon. Easy to toss in suitcase and use a lot as you do your dishes and bowls. I totally forgot until reading your post. Oh….and a trivet. Funny, I forgot how many kitchen items I’ve bought over many years.1. Ornaments - get one from each trip (and have an ornament tradition in our family).
2. I have this perfect deep bowl from Japan (nice blue on the outside). I got it, I believe, in 2002 (it could've been the 00 or 01 trip, though) and it's still the best bowl I have (it is the best bowl for curries, pasta, noodle dishes, etc). Sadly, I've not found these since then (likely because I've been there relatively infrequently).
3. We have a few other not as nice dishes, as we've started a tradition of bringing home a dish from a WDW trip and they get used in the normal course of a week and it's a nice touchstone. (ETA: I passed up on a great bowl set, from F&W and the Remy challenge, and I'm super disappointed because I came home without a dish of any sort - not many options that worked for me. So, if you see something you like, go for it! I really wish I had gotten those F&W dishes!).
1. Silhouettes of my children over the years. Not that expensive and a more personal Souvenirs.
2. Picked up some cool African statues from AKL. They are on shelves in my house.
3. I do like a good popcorn bucket. My favorite is the steamboat willie on they had out a few months ago. Not the regular buckets with designs.
I did pick up an ice cream scoop on my last visit - one of those things that I often want but don't feel is necessary - but it totally fit the kitchen tradition!Love your mention of bowls as I forgot I have a graduated set of 3 bowls I bought years ago and use constantly as you do.

So fun to buy and use.
