Whenever I visited a new place, I bought something as a memory of that trip. Last year I went with my parents to Nanded Sahib, which is a holy place for Sikhs situated in Maharashtra. When I went there, I saw there were lots of items to buy, but then I remember about my childhood and decided to bring some wooden toys for my niece because when I was little, my parents also brought these toys for me. After searching the market for 2 hours finally, I found the shop of wooden toys. These were wooden furniture, but small in sizes such as bed, sofa set, almirah and dressing table. When I was the same age as my niece age, I love to play with them, so I thought she also likes it. When I gave these toys to her, she was delighted and excited. I feel very satisfied she like my gift. The main reason why I brought these toys because these are the rare things we don’t usually see. I put two toys in the living room as a reminder of my childhood as well as my niece childhood. So I think buying something from a tourist place is very important, as this will remind you of the holiday days you spent there.
