After every exciting trip, you always want to preserve these unforgettable moments for a long time, so the thought comes to mind: what to buy as a souvenir? In tourist shops, you can't help but wonder about the incredible number of souvenirs.

And when you travel to a country like Venezuela, home to several skilled craftsmen and artisans who produce excellent local products, the choice becomes overwhelming. Newsbytesapp.com has prepared a list of five souvenirs that you should buy before you leave.

Venezuelan jewelry

Jewelers in Venezuela make stunning pieces of gold and silver that are mined in the country. You'll also find a variety of sizes of gorgeous pearls sourced from Margarita Island.

When you go shopping, always choose specialty stores rather than local markets, as the latter may sell fake goods.

Coffee and chocolates

Venezuela's coffee scene is what it is largely known for, as coffee cultivation here began in the early 19th century. Its coffee beans are distinguished by their flavor and high quality, so they should be on your wish list.

The country is also known for its cocoa plantations and the chocolate made from them, so buy some.

Wood carving

Venezuela is proud of the wood carvings made by several talented local craftsmen. From photo frames and mugs to jewelry boxes, masks and musical instruments, there is something for everyone.

What makes these items special is that they are made of authentic Venezuelan ebony.

Handmade items

Another souvenir that should be on your shopping list in Venezuela is the local and traditional handmade products that are sold in the country. There are bags, hammocks, home decor items, and much more that you can add to your cart.

There is an interactive museum store called Hannsi where you can check out the best handmade products of Venezuela and even buy some for your home.

Rum

If you are in the mood to bring home a taste of Venezuela, there is nothing better than its rum. The country is known for such sought-after varieties as Flor De Cana 18-year old, Real McCoy, Diplomatico, Santa Teresa 1796, and Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Rum, which you can taste and buy when you return home.
