New England's six states (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine) are small in terms of landmass, but they pack a huge amount of variety for tourists, and have souvenirs to match. Activities include skiing in the Green Mountains of Vermont and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, seaside activities on Cape Cod and along the coast, summer musical and arts festivals in the Berkshires (just two to three hours from New York), and foliage everywhere in the fall. Throughout the New England region, tourists will find plenty of opportunities to shop and buy souvenirs in villages, on farms, at resorts, and along the roadsides.

Vermont Maple Syrup, Cape Cod Cranberries are New England Culinary Souvenirs

Maple Syrup. Is there anything that says New England as clearly as maple syrup? Go to one of the farms where it's made, and ask about the grades of maple syrup: It turns out that the "finest grade" is actually the least flavorful, because historically, "fine" maple syrup could be used as a sugar substitute, for which a strong maple flavor is undesirable. Not so on your pancakes: Try grade B. Other maple products include maple pepper mixes, maple candy, and maple taffy.

Clam Chowder. New England clam chowder -- the milky kind -- is famous worldwide. A mix isn't quite the real thing, but the mixes you find in gift stores and gourmet food stores might remind you of your trip. Small gift recipe books are also available.
