This may sound a little stupid, and I'm sure you are looking for a
trinket or knick-knack, but consider this suggestion. Most of my
friends, especially when they were younger, were poor, so spending
money on trinkets wasn't common. What they would do whenever the went
to a new place was pick up a rock or pebble off the ground. That way
they always had a piece of the place they had visited with them. 

Example, when I was in the Florida Keys I went to a coral beach
scraped up a few piece of coral and some sea water and sealed it in a
jar. After many many years, I still have that coral and sea water
sealed in a jar on my mantle piece. 

If if you would prefer some trinket, the rock is still not a bad idea.
The price is certainly right.

Just a thought.
