Souvenirs?

Looking for some thoughts here. Spring break is approaching rapidly (thank the good Lord....boy were they whacked out on Friday). I'll be traveling overseas to visit a friend and I want to bring something back for my kids. I'll see what I can find when I'm out and about, but any thoughts on anything particular to look for?

My ideas thus far are:

*pencils
*postcards (hand delivered, and probably blank just with cool pics)
*candy/some sort of local treat

And I think those are all fine, but not particularly unusual or exciting. Anyone have a surefire hit? Something creative and not too expensive that 8th graders will just freakin' love?
