Our country divides into different parts. So from every part of our country you can

bring different souvenirs. So from Carpathian Mountains you can bring some pottery.

From the central part you can bring our national clothes. And from the Crimea you can bring something made from shells.

This is the national clothes in the Carpathians. It will be a very nice remembrance about your travel to this part of our country. This clothes is rather expensive because this is a handwork.It’s take a lot of time to make such clothes (a few years).

If your visit falls on the

Easter time, you’ll be able

to buy a genuine

Perhaps the most typical Ukrainian souvenir are the famous Matryoshka dolls. You will find a

large selection of these at almost any historical (tourist) sight in Ukraine. Some come from

neighboring Russia. These matryoshka dolls are the true nesting dolls. Each doll (and there can be up to 30 or more) is identical in shape and painting, just slightly smaller than the one it

nested in. Ukrainian matryoshka dolls, on the other hand, are different. They usually represent a family. The outer doll may be the father, the next one

the mother, then a son, a daughter, an infant, a dog, and finally -- not bigger than a kernel of

corn -- a baby chick.

Ukrainian embroidered cloths, called ryshniki

, are wonderful souvenirs from Ukraine. The Ukrainian

embroidery tradition has its roots in pagan beliefs of

protection and ritual. Ukrainian embroidery can decorate

ceremonial towels, table linens, and, of course, Ukrainian

traditional garments. Like many other folk art

practices throughout Ukraine and Eastern Europe, the

Ukrainian embroidery tradition is one that is passed down through families, and regional variants in symbols and color combinations

are part of what make this tradition so rich.

Basically, you can find souvenirs anyplace that attracts tourists (including local Ukrainian tourists). So, look around the famous churches and monuments. The street winding up the Andrew's Slope is especially famous for its tourist stands. There is also a National Handicrafts store on the famous Khreshatyk.
