My UNESCO flash drive: it is shaped like the UNESCO building, which of course means a lot to me as someone working on cultural heritage law. I bought it during my first visit there, when I was digging through the UNESCO archives for information on how UNESCO started giving shape to the international legal instruments needed for it to implement its culture mandate (the "C" in UNESCO). I used it to carry my slides into class, but now it is all cloud-based, so the flash drive is just a cute trinket to which I hang on.
UNESCO postcard: I picked it up on the same trip, it lives above my desk pinned to the wall.
UNESCO badges: one is from that same archival trip. The other is a more recent thing I did for UNESCO. They are not souvenirs in the sense I did not pick them up at the gift shop, but I hang on to them as reminders of things I've done with / for UNESCO, and they sort of mark some growth in the 11 years in between those two official visits (there have been others just to raid the bookshop).
