Every country has its own unique souvenirs that can’t be found anywhere else, and Brazil is no different. If you’re looking for memorable gifts for your friends and family back home, these four are your best options.
Soapstone Carvings
You can find soapstone carvings at pretty much any gift shop in Brazil, and if you find yourself in the state Minas Gerais you may even stumble upon artists carving them on the spot.
Cachaça
If it was possible to bottle up Brazil and take it home for your family to try, it would probably taste something like this beloved traditional drink.
Local Coffee
If you’re looking for a present for your coffee-loving friends, you won’t struggle to find it in Brazil. This country is one of the largest exporters of coffee in the world, and you can find good quality Brazilian coffee no matter which region you decide to visit.
Gemstone Jewels
Jewels are always a good gift, and if you’re visiting Minas Gerais look out for beautiful necklaces, bracelets and rings carved out of emeralds.
