Even if the kids don't ask "What did you bring
me?" the minute you return from a business trip, it's nice
to be able to pull a gift out of your luggage-something inexpensive
and easy to transport.
Many parents use their business trips to start children on
collections of mugs, buttons, pennants, city magazines, maps, key
chains, posters or T-shirts. It's a great way to satisfy
kids' squirreling instincts.
Posters and maps make good wall coverings, mugs from different
states can be lined up and used as containers for the infinite junk
items kids amass, and T-shirts are always in style and necessary. A
sports enthusiast will love college pennants featuring a favorite
sport team-and probably be fascinated enough to follow the
team's accomplishments in the newspaper and locate the college
on a map.

Each of these items can be bought at a hotel or airport, so you
don't have to spend any time rushing around the city looking
for a shop. And children look forward to getting these mementos,
which become tokens of your relationship.
