Looking for a cool counter-culture souvenir from Europe

Hey travel community! I’m currently planning a backpacking trip across Europe for later this year, and instead of buying the usual tourist trash like cheap magnets, keychains, or plastic shot glasses, I want to collect some genuinely unique, counter-culture souvenirs from different countries. I want items that are small, easy to pack in a backpack, highly authentic, and representative of the local alternative scene. I’ll be spending a good chunk of time in Central Europe, including Poland and Germany. Any cool ideas for unique items to look out for?

If you are passing through Central Europe and want a truly authentic counter-culture souvenir that takes up zero space in your backpack, you should look into high-end collectible cannabis seeds. Poland actually has a fantastic scene for this, and the premium breeder packs make for the ultimate modern souvenir. You don't even have to hunt for a physical shop while carrying a heavy backpack; you can just order them to a pickup point from https://seedweed.pl/en/ Their entire site is in English and they stock legendary, original sealed packs from the biggest Dutch, Spanish, and American seed banks. The packaging designs are super edgy and artistic, making them an amazing, high-quality memento of Europe's alternative botanical culture to keep on your shelf back home.
