Novica- and a giveaway
Over the top pleased and happy. Wouldn't you be if you had this waiting for you when you got home from a crappy day at work??
Excited and happy. That is the best way to describe my experience with Novica. It's a site where artisans and craftsmen from around the world are given an outlet to sell their creations to the world. I purchased a cutting board from a woodworker name Teo. And I received a little book about him, and the piece.
He also enclosed a postcard from his county (Guatemala) with a handwritten note thanking me in his language for my purchase. Simply put, I'm hooked.
Fair trade, amazing quality, unique, a PERSON at the other end of the sale. This is no mass marketing of cheap products, this is real craftsmanship, with personality, and care. Now don't think this site is all wooden crafts, there are so many things you can find there: scarves, alpaca wool scarves, womens shawls from Indonesia, mens sweaters, silk jackets, womens brazilian accessories, and much much more.
I bet you are wondering about the giveaway right? The people at Novica gave me two $50 promo codes, one for myself to get something (the awesome cutting board!), and one for you my awesome readers!

It holds your paper clips and your business cards and I'm sure John can attest, I need more organization on my desk here at work, plus Elephants are good luck and mean welcome if their trunk is toward the door...I guess it would depend on the day I'm having at work!
i like the 'cocoa trends' scarf

That cutting board is GORGEOUS! Oh, the things I would do for a beauty like that, especially now that I have a proper knife and all...
I love the men's alpaca fisherman's sweater
I like the Javanese flower scarf. Great stuff!
I love a bunch of their scarves - don't make me pick!
I especially like the Women's Brazilian Accessories. That's such a tough thing to accessorize properly.
Seriously, though it looks like they do a fantastic job of putting together a collection from all over. Kudos for the great packaging. Looks like christmas!
I love this scarf-

Choosing from the selected links, I'd get Ryan a sweater. He doesn't have many that he likes now but he looks great in them.
Choosing from anything... I'd get the sunflower clock. http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=181028
Really interesting cutting board. Almost too pretty to use. Their scarves are gorgeous.
Ohhh, I love that board! I would either get one of those or I really like the hand blown tumblers! So pretty.
wow what a beautiful board and amazing site! i could spend hours drooling over it. i think i'd probably put the $50 toward an area rug or accent table. or possibly splurge on some of the beautiful art, especially the stuff inspired by birds and ducks (see the gift animals section).
Such pretty items! I adore the Turquoise and bamboo cocktail ring, in Imagine.
