NOVICA gave me a gift certificate to use and I am choosing to share my
$75 gift certificate with one of my followers.
The first time I visited the Novica website, I was surprised at the range of beautiful items offered from artisans all over the world. I especially loved reading the artisan stories that accompany each listing.
There are so many great items, but I was especially drawn to the
Home Decor section. The selections were outstanding. I love this throw, an Alpaca and Wool blend, available in both Winter White and Soft White:
and this Alpaca Wool throw blanket in the Inca Duck Mist pattern:
There is also an amazing section called
Inspirational Gifts that categorizes gift shopping to make it easier for you to find the perfect inspirational gift for someone special. I loved 'The Heavens' trio in painted glass:
The
Corporate Gifts section also has a huge online collection of handcrafted fair trade corporate gifts, including items for client gifts, conference gifts, sales incentives, employee recognition and awards. I love the Andean Lands wool backpack:
The
Eco-Friendly Gift section has Recycled, Reclaimed, Sustainable and Natural products including these cobalt ring tumblers:
The Novica website is full of delightful items that would make truly appreciated gifts, even if you just "gift" them to yourself.
NOVICA also has a Microfinance Program. Novica has offices around the world in order to facilitate getting an artist's products to buyers. You can learn more about the
Microfinance Program here.
