There's no joy left in souvenirs right after purchase, however, dusting them
can be a pain. So at some moment, you just grab all of them and drag to the
waste bin. Or box in your garage. And if you have enough brains to stop wasting
money keeping the crafters of this *** in business and depleting our
planet resources, many of your friends and family don't. Some of them just
can't come to you empty handed! This is especially true about aunts and grannies.
Get rid of their presents with cold blooded vigour. Even if this particular
ugly china figure was given by your loving mommy! Remember, your
home is your territory, don't allow anyone to place their *** in it. Timeo danaos
et dona ferentes! However, it seems you can find some use for
seeming ly useless stuff, like this stone scarab - a default souvenir from Egypt.
It makes a perfect soldering iron stand! Rock has unique thermal properties,
so it doesn't char unlike wood and doesn't conduct heat unlike metal.
