I assume most of us bought or even made t-shirts to commemorate this year's eclipse.  I think I ended up w/ 4 shirts from this one.  Did anyone acquire anything else memorable?  I have shared this 18" x 24" puzzle that I bought from Great American Eclipse in other threads.  It is now framed and mounted for display in my living room.  I used puzzle glue on it and added two souvenir medallions to the lower corners.  There is a brushed nickel button marking Mazatlan where we saw totality.

 

I'll include close-up shots of the neat medallions.  I bought two so that I could display each side.

I have five or six different brands of solar glasses and a solar viewing card. I just keep them for outreach because you can view the Sun at almost any time.

 

Clear skies,

I bought 2 patches that were produced for the eclipse.  The reason for two, is that the smaller patch is an "error" patch - it is missing Indiana (among other state errors), and since I travelled to Indiana to view the eclipse I thought it'd be interesting to get.  The larger patch has the correct states on it.

For 2017 and 2024, I have 'commemorative' eclipse glasses and Fred Espenak's road atlases.

The Corona hat is a nice touch.

Got personalized “souvenirs” on the cruise.
 However, the best souvenirs are the pictures and the videos I filmed.
