I would go with "have" there. The future tense of the main clause makes it clear that the second clause is also in the future. I would use "have had" only for consumables. For example, if the items were food items that had been eaten, "until they have had all the cheeseburgers". :lol:
tdol said:d) might be possible if it meant 'buy', mightn't it? That way, they would be consuming the souvenirs. However, the natural choice is Mike's. ;-)

The key is (b), which I don't agree with.
Thank you very much indeed. Now I understnad better.

I'd like to give you a cute @->-- as my deep appreciation.
