Novica is an amazing site with so many amazing products.  I was contacted and asked if I wanted to review something from their site. Having never heard of Novica before I headed over to browse and immediately knew this was a site I wanted to help get the word out about.   What is Novica?

It’s a place to give artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity. And, we want to provide you with access to unique, hard-to-find items at great values that only the Internet infrastructure can allow.  At the deepest essence of our philosophy, we want to create a bridge between you and the many talented artisans across the globe.  We want you to know about who you’re buying from. We want you to feel that attachment to the product and to the hands that created it.  In the spirit of the Internet, let us bring you together. NOVICA. The World is Your Market. (taken from site)

As I browsed around I was amazed at these products by people from around the world.  With so many things from home decor to beautiful necklaces I knew it was going to be a tough choice.  I finally decided on one of their handbags.  I am sure that is not a big surprise to those who know me.  When the package arrived I was so excited I tore right into it, but not before snapping a few pictures of how pretty the wrapping was and seeing the handwritten thank you post card in both english and the designers native language.

Here is a little better shot of the purse so you can see the beauty and detail:

I just love this bag, it’s so summery and the room in it, let’s just say there is a ton of room.  I love roomy purses.  I tried to get the link so you could go order it for yourself if you wanted but I could not find it on the site anymore.  However it took me quite a long time to narrow down to this purse so I am pretty sure you will be able to find something for yourself.

Whether you are looking for a handbag, jewelry, home decor, paintings, or even clothing over at Novica you are sure to find something beautiful and unique.  These items are made from artisans around the world so you are getting some of the persons culture when you buy from them.  I just love that.

Now let’s get to the fun part.  When I was contacted I was offered a $150 gift card  to use on the site  for myself but after seeing the items over there I couldn’t not share it with my readers so I instead broke it up into two $75.00 ones.  One for myself so I could get the above item to review and one to giveaway.  I really want one of my readers to be able to enjoy something from Novica. Tomorrow is my 31st birthday (July 31) and for my birthday I am giving you all a present LOL.

WIN IT

One Reader will win a $75.00 gift card to Novica to pick any item they want.  If the total (with shipping) is equal to or less than the gift card amount you pay nothing, if it is more you pay the difference.
