Brazilian gifts for large budgets
#1 Brazilian hammocks
Hammocks are the ultimate Brazilian souvenirs because it’s like bringing home a piece of Brazil’s national pastime – relaxation!
So, when life gets stressful, they can just hang tight in their Brazilian hammock, and remember: “Why stress when you can sway, Brazilian-style!”
NOVICA offers a great selection of Brazilian hammocks (which are actually produced in Brazil, not in some other random country). And which actually benefit the artisans making the hammocks. You can buy directly from the site or from Amazon.
#2 Havaianas
Havaianas is probably the most well-known slipper brand from Brazil, which is why you will surely score points by bringing Havaianas as a gift or souvenir from Brazil. Whether it’s for yourself, or for a friend.
For this post, I selected these cute pink ones, but they come in all shapes and sizes, for men, women, and children, so check out Havaianas’ website for more footwear.
#3 Brazilian beachwear
Beach and Brazil are two words that go hand in hand, and not only because they both start with a B.
So it’s probably not a surprise that you can find many awesome bathing suits or bikinis from Brazil, such as this bikini by Mar Brazil.
Some other Brazilian brands to check for beautiful bathing suits and bikinis include:

Because it’s handmade and one-of-a-kind, their products run out of stock fast. If that’s the case with the vase, don’t worry! Simply, check out NOVICA for other gorgeous products from Brazil or from the artist behind this vase; Mario Seguso.
He moved to Brazil in the 1950s while carrying their family’s masterful glass art techniques. It’s a gift that’s not only pleasing to the eye but also showcases the long tradition of the Seguso family’s hand-blown crafting process – making each and every piece unique.
