Don’t be surprised, it’s true; Brazilians
celebrate day of love in June. It means that you have a chance to celebrate it
twice, according to European and Brazilian traditions!
If you decided to do
this, I bet, first question in your head is what gift to buy for your boyfriend/girlfriend being abroad.
I would love to
share with you some ideas of top 10 best gifts in Brazil.
1) Jogo de paixao - different kits of sex games that you can find in Imaginarium store. This is romantic way to spend you night, learning Portuguese.
2) Caipirinha kit. After your travel you still can have a taste of Brazil at home.
3) Romantic dinner. Brazil has rich cuisine; I would recommend you to try sequencia de ostras, around 5 different types of oysters. First of all, Brazil has its own oyster producers, so quality and price are very good, and, second, it’s a wide spread fact that oysters are aphrodisiac; what can be more suitable for Valentine's day?
4) Cosmetic kit. I know cosmetic sounds a little bit standard, but there are some national brands for example Boticaro and Natura, which are famous with its quality, and they don't export their products).
5) Havaianas. Maybe it sounds unusual, but havaianas are extremely popular in
Brazil and they have already became a postcard symbol. This gift will be even more
suitable, if you spend your vacations on the cost. Flip flops designed for
Valentine’s day will always remind your partner about the trip).
6) Local trip.
Brazil has a lot of romantic places. Depends on what you want and where you
stay, there are a lot of resorts satisfying all preferences. I recommend you,
besides world-famous locations, to google about Gramado, Ilha do mel, Foz do
Iguacu, Fortaleza…cause tourist agencies usually are focused on Sao Paulo and
Rio de Janeiro, so you might not find this places in a guide book.
7) Day in SPA - what can be more romantic then relaxing massage or chocolate jacuzy together, considering that main touristic
cities have a range of Gay-spa and saunas.
8) Sport day. Brazil is very popular
destination among people who like active lifestyle and ecotourism due to its range of sport activity (tracks, sand boarding, surfing and etc.) Imagine how romantic it is to see Rio de Janeiro doing paragliding together, holding hands.
9) Night out. Usually in Brazil on this day a lot of bars, clubs and restaurants have special events, promotions and shows for couples, considering that majority of famous Brazilian bands sing about love.
10) Sweets. Brazil is famous producer of cacao that influenced on chocolate production. CACAU SHOW, BRASIL CACAU shops and others can offer you interesting options of good quality chocolate in a packagings designed specially for 12.06.
