this month has been a very busy one regarding gimme your stuff swaps. I always say that I won't do more swaps, since my available time is limited as it is, but I find it hard to say "no" when all manner of wonderful parcels keep showing up at my house. For this latest round I had to do some souvenir shopping, and let me tell you it was not an easy task. If you've ever been a tourist in Lisbon, you'll know that the more traditional souvenir shops are around the Baixa/Restauradores/Av. da Liberdade areas (at least, those were the first that came to my mind when I first went shopping for these). I must confess that I had never bought souvenirs from around here before, although I am like any other tourist when I travel abroad and I just love souvenir shops - especially in castles and the heritage kind, and of course museum shops - I always h-a-v-e to get something, even if it's only a fridge magnet for my growing collection or a few nice postcards. Anyway, I tried a couple of the more traditional and bigger souvenir shops but couldn't find any items I really liked. I didn't have time to check the museums, but I remembered that T. had pointed out a really nice shop during one of our recent shopping trips downtown. I finally had the time to go check it out during the weekend, and found what I was looking for.
The shop sells all sorts of handmade Portuguese crafts, including pottery, painted tiles, embroidered handbags and needle cases, children's toys, among other things. Then right across the street I noticed another interesting shop, where I got a really nice notebook (yes, one more ., a girl can never have too many, right ?) and fell in love with these soaps (not quite the same that I sometimes find at the supermarket) and these boxes. It's definitely worth going there, so if you're a tourist around these parts or are looking for some unique gifts, go take a look ...

Be sure to send us a pic and words for each swap!
Drats!Another swap thing for me to get addicted!
I would never have found out if I had never read this post. Though I cannot understand very well how it works.
But it sounds fun.
Mais uma vez influenciada pelo bom gosto do "Chocolate" e porque estava na vizinhança, acabei por visitar a loja NÓS POR CÁ. Comprei uma toalha maravilhosa com bordado de Viana do Castelo. Ofereci a uma grande amiga.
Obrigada, Tania, pela dica.

As you’ll already know, receiving links from quality content pages is the best way to increase your popularity and helps to boost your websites position in search engines like Google. The days of linking from link directories are finish, links from web pages with many outbound links on them are not giving you a lot of linking power. These pages are actually very easy for search engines to filter out of their algorithms. You need to gain links from content related websites that are within your websites theme. Web pages that only have a few outbound links leaving them and those links should all be to related content. We are limiting the amount of out-bound’s on our content pages to a maximum of 10; this means that you will receive a minimum of 10% of the page value when your link is added to the page.

There are some fantastic souvenirs to be picked up in Lisbon and lovers of shopping will have a hard time dragging themselves away from the city’s unique offerings. Popular items to take back home with you include embroidery, knitted garments and shawls, pottery, painted tiles, leather goods, wickerwork and shoes, although you may experience problems fitting all these goods into your suitcase on your first trip to the city. Tax-free shopping is available for visitors from outside the EU and VAT can be reclaimed at the airport before your departure; only certain outlets are part of the tax-free system for tourists. Shops often close at lunchtime, so be prepared to rest your feet and enjoy a bite to eat or a coffee between 13:00 and 15:00; this does not apply to the larger shopping malls. Places to check out include the Colombo Centre, which offers hundreds of outlets and a cinema, and Armazens do Chiado, while the Baixa district is the best area in the city for shopping, with rua Augusta being home to many popular chain stores. Purchasing a Lisbon Shopping Card will give you discounts at major stores for a period of 24 hours. Visit this site for further information about Shopping for souvenirs in Lisbon.
