According to dictionary.com, paraphernalia (i spelt it wrongly in my previous post) can mean these things. 1) equipment, apparatus, or furnishing used in or necessary for a particular activity: a skier's paraphernalia, 2) personal belongings or 3) Law. the personal articles, apart from dower, reserved by law to a married woman, the third of which was used only in the 17th century. Maybe in your country, the word is used in a negative context but here, it's more like a collection. Like football paraphernalia you know.
Memorabilia sounds like a kangaroo magnet i would purchase before leaving australia for example...
