If it’s made in Ireland, supports local artists, or carries cultural significance, it’s worth the suitcase space. And hey — even if it’s just a shamrock keychain, if it reminds you of that special trip to Ireland… that’s a souvenir worth having.
So, on your next trip, don’t forget to leave a little room in your luggage! 😉
