Gate-side gifts near T1 departures
Five minutes from most domestic gates in T1, Imaginarium is the bright gift shop selling quirky travel gadgets, home décor pieces, and fun souvenirs under one roof. It sits airside in the main departures hall, so you clear security first, then see it on the left as you walk toward the central boarding area at Curitiba-Afonso Pena (CWB).
Imaginarium focuses on design‑heavy items: printed mugs, travel pillows, cable organizers, LED lamps, and novelty notebooks, all with the brand’s bold graphics. Prices run mid-range for Brazil; expect around R$40–R$70 for smaller accessories and R$100+ for bigger décor items and backpacks. It’s more about style than bare‑bones practicality, so this is where you grab a last-minute present, not a cheap phone charger.
The shop usually opens from morning check‑in waves through the last evening departures, roughly 06:00–22:00 in T1, though hours flex with the flight schedule. Staff handle gift wrapping on the spot, which matters if you’re heading straight from CWB to a birthday dinner in São Paulo or Rio and don’t want to mess with tape in the terminal.
Stock leans heavily into current collections, so specific designs rotate every few months, but core items like neck pillows and small tech organizers stick around year‑round. If you’re short on time and boarding from a remote stand, budget at least 10 minutes here, then another 10 to reach your bus gate. Quick tip: snap a photo of the receipt; it makes warranty claims easier if something breaks once you land.
