A souvenir (from the French for "memory") is an object that is treasured for the memories associated with it.

The term is used for items brought home from places visited. Such items are sometimes marked or engraved to indicate that their value is sentimental rather than practical (e.g., "A Souvenir from Clacton-on-Sea").

Souvenirs can include household items such as mugs and bowls, ashtrays, spoons and notepads, or clothing such as tee-shirts or hats.
