This paper explores the relationship between souvenirs, place and everyday life. With a small island, Gotland, in the Baltic sea as example, a tourist site since the 19th century, I examine bouth the production of souvenirs for sale to tourists and what is happening when the traveller are at home again and the objects are a part of daily life. Which functions do souvenirs have as commodities and as a chosen object in a home? Aspects as aesthetic, gifts, memory, identity, nostalgia and collections are discussed.
