What is the Crafted Keepsakes trend?

Crafted Keepsakes: While photographic captures are a convenient way to document experiences, relying on digital devices often makes memorable situations more fleeting and less emotionally engaging. As a method to make memories more momentous, consumers are turning to regionally influenced keepsakes such as handcrafted jewelry to create a sentimental connection to the places visited. This reflects the need for products that help create more ties between consumers and their experiences.
