One day it might be fun to waste an entire flight fully itemizing the list of all items that you are bringing back.
Pen: $2.50
Pen: $1.25
Pack of gum: $0.75
Magazine: $5.25
Hotel shampoo bottle: $0.00
and on and on...
Of course you'd have to have a good memory and ask for the form early in the flight.
