Oberursel Souvenir

I had seen this Monopoly game around the Oberursel Hessentag 2011, but then completely forgot about it. Now that I am in the market once more to shop for souvenirs to take along on our summer trip overseas, I am glad to learn that the game is still available in our little department store in Oberursel.

If you are in Oberursel and are interested in getting this game, then stop by Rompel in the Vorstadt. The store still has about 140 of the same game in stock, which were originally made for the Hessentag in 2011.

If you can’t make it to our local shop, there is always Amazon.de.

Ideas for Souvenirs

France

One of my students returned from a trip to Mont St. Michel with this present – a perpetual desk calendar. Very practical indeed.

Nowadays, they are hard to find as I have not been able to locate another one in a gift shop around Europe. These calendars used to be quite popular after World War II.

On ebay-collectibles, a few are listed under Vintage Tin Flip Desk Calendars. What my student brought back was the only new one produced I have ever seen. The antique ones sit on felt-bottomed metal, whereas this new one just sits on a marble look-alike.

I was told it was € 6 in a gift shop around Mont St. Michel/France.
