Which is a nice thing to buy in Rio de Janeiro?

Save the Lindt! For the high end purchase precious gems from HR Stern are still reasonable by our standards. For the more economical shopper there are the many beautiful items done by the local crafters. Their market is set up along the beaches. Other great buys include bikinis (very small!), sa's (wraps for over your swimwear), and Haviana flip-flops (in just about any color or style you can imagine). They can purchase "Monica e Turma" magazines at any news stand in Brazil.
