Some travellers collect postcards, others gather magnets — but if you're someone who sees airports as chapters in your travel story, airport code merchandise is the perfect way to capture the spirit of your journeys. At YHM Designs, we celebrate the power of place with airport code gifts and décor that are as meaningful as they are stylish. Here's how to start (or expand) your travel collection with intention and flair.
Why Collect Airport Codes?
Airport codes aren’t just three-letter identifiers — they’re symbols of adventure, homecomings, and new beginnings. Whether it’s LAX where you took your first solo trip, JFK where you met someone special, or YYC where your family roots lie, each code carries emotion and meaning. Collecting airport code items allows you to preserve those moments in a visually compelling way.
Start with the Basics: Mugs & Prints
If you're new to airport code collecting, start with our bestselling coffee mugs and poster prints. Choose the destinations that matter most — your hometown, university city, favourite holiday spot, or bucket list trip. These classic items are easy to display and practical for everyday use, making them both functional and sentimental.
Display with Purpose
Build a travel wall or shelf where your collection can grow over time. Each airport code print becomes a visual reminder of where you’ve been. Add travel photos, ticket stubs, or small souvenirs to personalize the space even further. Think of it as a living scrapbook that evolves with every journey.
Mix Function with Memory
Collecting doesn’t have to be about keepsakes you set aside. With airport code throw pillows, blankets, and water bottles, your travel mementos can become part of daily life. A pillow from HNL Honolulu or a water bottle marked AMS Amsterdam adds a personal and stylish touch to your home, while sparking memories of the adventures tied to each destination.
Expand Over Time
Airport code collecting is a hobby that grows with you. Add a new piece for each trip, or celebrate milestones with a matching design. It’s also a thoughtful way to mark family events — a child’s first flight, a honeymoon, or a big move. With over 600 airport codes in our collection, you’re never short on destinations to commemorate.
A Perfect Gift for Fellow Travellers
Know someone who travels often or cherishes their roots? An airport code item makes a unique and thoughtful gift. From tote bags to hats, you’ll find something for every traveller on your list. It’s a gift that goes beyond souvenirs — it’s a symbol of place and pride.
