My husband will be in Brasilia for a few days and he's offering to get me some souvenirs. What would be some good souvenirs to get that represent Brazil well? (Not t-shirts, keychains, etc).

When I was in Rio a few years ago, I bought a small painting by a local artist, and it was the best purchase I made. It's of the famous favela in Rio. The 2nd best purchase I made there was a small wallet with the Brazilian flag imprinted on it - every once in awhile when I pay for something, someone notices my wallet and asks if I've been to Brazil - all the great memories of my trip come rushing back.

football/soccer jersey. the most popular club is Sao Paulo followed by Palmeiras and Santos. you will have no trouble finding these team's jerseys while in Brazil as these are the countries best club teams.

Be sure he buys a figa. It's an African-Brazilian symbol of good luck. see the link below
