Novica and National Geographic

I received a wonderful email from the folks at Novica who are partnered with National Geographic to expose wonderful artists around the world. The products are all Hand Crafted Fair Trade and made by the artists themselves and sent directly to you!

They wanted to let me do a little shopping on their dime and decide if I liked their wares or not. I don't normally do reviews like this, but the vast array of hand crafted gifts really intrigued me. I had a great time shopping and this is what I bought!

This super cute Silver Cuff Bracelet, it was beautifully handcrafted, although a bit delicate for me. I gave it to my Sister In Law she has delicate hands and wrists.

I bought this manly bracelet for my husband, he loves it!


And these amazing glasses, each one is hand made and hand blown. They are also very heavy and gorgeous to look at! I adore them and will be purchasing another six of them.




Overall I was very impressed with the quality and especially the packaging. Each item was hand wrapped and boxed and had a beautiful card enclosed. I also love the fact they are made by the Artisan and shipped from their Country directly to you!

I highly recommend checking out their website, actually they actually have several, the newest being the Corporate Gift section.
