Traveling offers the unique opportunity to sample new foods, experience different cultures and shop in places you’ve never been before! Yep, if you like shopping, there’s nothing better than checking out the local stores on your days off from work at the hospital. As a medical professional who travels a lot and frequently stays in travel nurse housing, you know that family or friends back home always love a souvenir from your time away. In this post, we’ll discuss some souvenir ideas as well as some places here in the Shreveport LA area where you can buy some gifts. Read on for more!
How to find the ideal gift for friends or even to treat yourself!

- Postcards – A traditional, low-cost item that’s easy to pick up around town and shows your friend the sights in the city.
- Christmas Ornament – Great gift for your Mom! You can contribute to her Christmas tree and is a fun way for her to remember where you’ve been over the years.
- Tea Towel – A dish towel is practical and makes a statement in the kitchen. Many souvenir shops and tourist destinations carry towels with varying designs so you can easily collect or give them out.
- Pencils – Small, simple and practical. Great gift for school nieces and nephews!
- Magnets – Who doesn’t like a magnet?! Like postcards, magnets can be found everywhere. However, a magnet is more durable and can be mailed back home for a perfect “I’m thinking about you” gift.
Of course, these are only a few of the possible souvenir gifts you could buy for someone special. Maybe your kid brother likes ball caps or your sister-in-law likes to cook…you can pick up a LSU Shreveport hat at the university and some Magic Swamp Dust Seasoning from Farmers Seafood Company here in the city.
