As any other traveler, you probably like bringing back at least a small souvenir of your experiences across the world. Don't take the example of true shopaholics who usually take shopping to the next level and to stuff their bags with all kinds of useless things, but know how to shop wisely depending on when you are. Brazil is a wonderful country filled with extraordinary places and people, and home to some extraordinarily skilled workers producing excellent quality goods. Read this guide for tips on what to buy in Brazil.
In the northern region, around Manaus and Belem, woven hammocks and bags are widely spread, filling street stalls and shops, as well as ceramics. Wickerwork represents a large part of the native Indians' economic activity, and buying their goods is a good way to help the local community. In the Pernambuco region, you will most likely find the famous naïve baked clay figurines painted with bright colors and representing scenes of the daily lives of the people of the area. These lovely authentic items can be found in the Nordeste and in artisanal boutiques in larger cities, and make for a perfect souvenir to bring back.

In the Bahia State, and Salvador de Bahia, capoeira is a lifestyle more than just a sport and every inhabitant of the region lives and breathes capoeira. This is the place to buy your capoeira gear if you were seduced by its elegant yet fierce movements. You will find them of various colors, with the green, yellow, and red ones being the most common. This is also a great place to buy a pair of the famous Havaianas flip flops if you haven't already done so, and enhance your luck with the small woven lucky-charm bracelets known as fittas de Nosso Senhor de Bomfin. As you travel along the coast, from Rio to Salvador, don't forget to check out some of the Brazilian bikini shops, offering extraordinarily rich varieties of models.
