I got some souvenirs vs I bought some souvenirs

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. "I got some souvenirs" is less formal and doesn't specify the way the souvenirs were obtained. "I bought some souvenirs" is more formal and specifically indicates that the souvenirs were purchased.
