Earlier this week I attended a Christmas tree ornament exchange, and so last week I went looking for some unique Rio ornaments - both for the exchange and for a personal momento. Here's what I found:
Choose between samba players, bahian dancers, surfers and soccer players. A great Christmas gift. I found them at Brazil & Cia Rua Maria Quitéria, 27 - Ipanema
Oh, I want one! Dang, I searched forever before I left for some kind of Brazilian themed ornament and never found one. Bad timing, I guess. Maybe when I get back they'll still have one or two around.

I love that store! And if I remember from a year or two ago, usually the ornaments aren't too expensive, like around R$30...for something so charming and handcrafted it's a bargain!

One of the Greatest stores, and the Lady that works there is charming! Always a smile and very helpful. That is my one stop before I go back to the States each time. Always find something special there and at Leddoux.
