Was going to say something like ToedToes. We try to buy things we will use in the long term instead of normal souvenirs, unless they are free. For myself it is usually a new tool, every time I pick it up I think about the trip I bought it on. My wife does patterns or material at quilt shops and makes something special. Kids you have to be more creative but as ToedToes said pick a favorite hobby or something to add to.
As far as money savers, these are the only ones I can think of we do and they don't save a lot. We drink mostly water when traveling and more to save space than money but it does both, we now have a Brita filter pitcher in our frig and fill our water bottles from that so we don't have to buy bottled water and haul it. The other one is putting together our own snacks, instead of prepackaged, we can save a little money and make them a little healthier.
