Let’s say your initial budget is $2,500. This amount is for transportation, hotel, food, and other necessities. For souvenirs, you’ll want to consider a small percentage. Assuming you’re aiming for a small number, like 5%, that would mean $125 for gifts. You’ll want to calculate this amount when planning for other costs so you don’t add too many, if any, extra expenses to your budget. The most important thing is to keep your budget in mind: the last thing you want to do is blow it before you leave the house.
