Novica Premium Gift Wrap Review and 40.00 Gift Certificate Giveaway!

by Jenniffer | Jan 5, 2014 | Blog Post, Giveaways, Reviews | 75 comments

A couple of years ago I discovered Novica….Novica is actually associated with The National Geographic and their site is a gateway that allows artisans from all over the world to promote their work and offer customers that otherwise would never get to know their work, the opportunity to find the one- of- a- kind treasures that each artisan creates. Novica was founded about 10 years ago and has brought together artisan and clients from all over the world to meet on their website.

I love their products and how very unique they are; and I certainly love the idea of getting products from exotic places and helping artisans to get their work to all corners of the globe.

I have a few Novica products that I have acquired since I first discovered them. Novica has actually added a really neat feature to their site and they now offer Premium Gift Wrap and I was given the opportunity to see this Premium Gift Wrap first hand when they gave me a $40.00 certificate to buy something from their site…I chose the Sterling silver flower ring, Mae Ping Jasmine from Thailand….Actually I could not resist the temptation and ordered another piece that is coming later on from India.

The Sterling silver flower ring, Mae Ping Jasmine is a beautiful and elaborated ring that shows amazing detailing and beautiful design. This fascinating ring features jasmine flows in arabesques across a wide adjustable sterling band that the artisan managed bring to life with great attention to detail. The artwork on the design is very unique and is sure to make an impression. This Thai ring from Achara is made with .925 Sterling silver and has a retail price of $67.95. And great news for everyone is that it is on sale right now for only $37.99 which is an amazing price for this ring.

Check out as usual was really easy and of course I ordered the Premium Gift Wrap. The Premium Gift Wrap was $ 3.95 additional to my $2.69 they charged me for shipping, once more a great price for shipping! It wasn’t until I received my little package in the mail that I realized how gorgeous this packaging actually is!

The small gift box is completely wrapped in fabric featuring different earth tones and gold with a golden ribbon bow on top and the Novica name on a metal plaque on top of the bow…All very exquisite and elegant. The inside of the box is equally well presented and has a tiny cushion in black. The box is made so it can be reused and actually be the permanent box to keep whatever piece came in it. The box is absolutely gorgeous and has excellent craftsmanship…My kudos to the new Novica Premium Gift Wrap which makes gift giving very easy!

Win it:

As one who LOVES NOVICA (there are currently OVER 600 items on my Novica Wish List) it’s hard to know where to start…. One item I’ve been eyeing for a long time is a metal Wall Sculpture/Art by a VERY talent Mexican sculptor/artisan (Marco Polo) called “Noah’s Ark ” – Unique Animal Sculpture Steel Wall Art.
I would love to hang in on our sunporch wall.

Thanks!

With over 600 items on my Novica Wish Lists – It hard to to say for sure how I would use a VERY lucky $25 GC …

Two possibilities that immediately come to mind are one of the many exquisite necklaces by the fabulously talented NAREERAT (Thailand) (I have SO many of her gorgeous jewelry creations on my Wish Lists) I especially love this one:

Afternoon Sun – Citrine and Green Agate Beaded Necklace – Nareerat
(Thailand)

I would also seriously consider getting this wonderul metal sculpture / wall hanging KEY HOLDER called “PLAYFUL CAT” (by J Blas of Mexico) which I would love to use a a NECKLACE HOLDER…

Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
