Summer in the South: NOVICA Review & Giveaway

The great thing about what I do as a review blogger is that I run across so many different awesome shops and sites that I probably would have never heard of otherwise! While searching around the web, I came across a site called NOVICA.

NOVICA is a site that gives artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity. Not only do they get to express their art, but YOU get to buy it! NOVICA bridges the gap between you and all the talented artists from around the world!


When you buy an item from NOVICA, you can also find out who made that piece and a little about them. I love the idea of that. I'm sure there are millions of people in the world buying art and they don't even know who made it or where it came from! Click HERE to read about the artists.


NOVICA has a HUGE selection of items you can choose from! I have literally spent about an hour looking around the site, and I've only gotten through a small portion of it!

There is a large collection of handmade jewelry, including pearl, turquoise and extraordinary silver treasures. The jewelry is so unique and beautiful! Since they are from all around the world, to me, the pieces are exotic! I love so many, it would be hard to pick just one!


Looking for a truly special gift for someone? NOVICA has unique gifts for everyone! Whether it's a gift for her, a gift for him, or a romantic gift for that special someone, you'll find the perfect fit here! Some of the items even offer FREE gift wrapping! 


NOVICA also has a large online collection of handcrafted fair trade corporate gifts, including items for client gifts, conference gifts, sales incentives, employee recognition and awards. Set yourself apart from your competitors and check out NOVICA's unique corporate gifts!


If you are looking for something special to give to your mom, girlfriend, wife, or any other important woman in your life, then be sure to check out the gifts for her section! You'll find something that will melt her heart!


Some guys like jewelry too! NOVICA offers men's bracelet's as well. One of them would make a great gift for someone, or would impress the ladies if you are looking for yourself!

My impression of NOVICA is fantastic! There is so much to choose from! I can't afford to fly all over the world and buy handcrafted art, but I can afford to shop at NOVICA and get the same thing! Why don't you head on over and take a look around!

                                                                                                       WIN IT                                                                                                             
One (1) lucky reader will win a $50 gift certificate from NOVICA to buy whatever they want!!
