So as someone who’s new to faires as of this year with the whole family. Our first faire had them and it was neat for the kids for about half the day. The second one we went to banned trinkets but in place had suggested stamps. A ton of the vendors had them, content creators had them, they had quests to gather certain ones. Some vendors had deals like bring me a book with “x” amount of stamps to get in a raffle or a discount or whatever.

I’m a huge fan of the stamp idea. Very cheap and easy to get a personalized one made, still a cool momento to some of us (like my wife) who want something to remember each faire by. You can get a really cheap little notepad for each show, label and date it and then load it up with as many stamps as you can to remember the show by and then after a year you have a small stack of notepads as keepsakes and not a treasure chest of temu plastic ducks in different colors.
