souvenir

/ˌsuːvəˈnɪə(ɹ)/noun

Something kept or given as a reminder of a place you visited or an event you attended.

Example sentence

“She brought back a small carved elephant as a souvenir from Thailand.”

Borrowed from French, where it means 'to remember'. That origin is a handy memory hook for the meaning.
