My souvenir buying breaks into a couple of categories - for me, for family, and for friends.
Things I buy for me are pins because I like to trade, so I pick up usually 2 each trip, 1 as a souvenir and 1 to trade. Next trip I may trade the one I kept, but that keeps my collection growing. The other things I get for myself are the Mickey anntenna toppers - I rotate them out during the year, and I've had a few of them "disappear" mysteriously. And beach towels - I use them for bath towels and beach towels. They help remind me of the trips and places I've been, and last a lot longer than t-shirts. The "dust catcher" collection I have is refridgerator magnets - I try to find one that has where I am visiting with a thermometer on it. Those tend to be common enough to be found, yet rare enough I have to look.
For family, I try to pick them up 1 thing that I feel they will like - for my nephew on the drum line, I got him a set of Expedition Everest drum sticks. They don't get something every trip, but when I do find something I try to make it memorable and useful.
For friends, if I spend more than $2 on you, it's because you sent money and asked for something specific. I try for the utility gifts, though, so I'll get a pack of Disney pens and share them out among everyone.
That's just me, you may like your friends more than I like mine.
The best thing I ever bought while at Disney was my stitch pillow pet! I love him! He goes on every long car ride and trip.. Including Disney a couple of times I also use him every night.
Once in AK, I was browsing in the Yak & Yeti gift shop
