This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Cara, the winner of the $50 Novica certificate.

I'm so happy about this, you guys! I've worked with Novica, a National Geographic company, many times in the past, but I'm always excited to do it again.

Two pairs of dangly earrings.

Novica partners with artists around the globe to help bring their wares to a much larger audience than they'd be able to reach on their own. They also faciliate micro-loans, which help these artists start and stay in business.

So, I feel marvy-fab about supporting them, and I really love the quality of the items they sell. You know I'm all about buying things that will last, and the jewelry I've gotten from Novica is the sort that will hold up over time (unlike cheap jewelry that looks terrible after a year or two.)

These helix earrings that I got several years ago are still in very heavy rotation and I wear my silver twist bracelet almost every time I get dressed up.

Kristen, smiling in a pink shirt.

I've received a number of items from Novica as part of my collaboration with them, but I've also shopped there when I'm looking for gifts for my girls. They've all got sensitive ears, so they can't wear cheap earrings and I like that there are so many sterling silver choices at Novica. Lisey's got several pairs of Novica earrings, and Sonia got her first pair this year...some green peridot flowers.

Novica sends out discounts and coupons fairly regularly, so I usually do my gift shopping when those hit my inbox.

This time round, I hemmed and hawed forever (as I usually do!), trying to decide what to buy.

Since I'm trying to be more conscientious in my clothing purchases, I browsed through Novica's clothing selection, especially the women's dresses because I love to wear dresses in the summer.

I considered buying this cute black dress, but then decided it was maybe a little too much like my DaVinci Shabby Apple dress.

A black dress from Novica.

So, then I was back to looking at jewelry.

I love almost everything that Aoy, an artist from Thailand makes, so I poked through her shop and found these silver earrings.

A pair of silver dangly earrings.

I thought they were awesome when I saw them on the site, but they are way better in person! The circles don't stay flat like they are in the Novica picture...they move around as I move, which I love.

I also chose this pair of black pearl earrings (though the pearls are more blue than black).

Two pairs of dangle earrings

Like my silver earrings, these can be dressed up or down, so I think they'll get a lot of wear.

Here are the other pearl dangle earrings Novica offers, and if you want something fancier, here's their chandelier pearl earring collection.

So! I've got a $50 Novica gift certificate to give away to one of you. Yay! And those of you are that aren't from the U.S. will be pleased to know that you can enter this giveaway too.

To enter, just leave a comment here on this post telling me what you'd buy with your $50.

-One entry per person, please.

-Giveaway will close on Thursday, July 27th, at midnight EST.

-Novica sent me a $50 gift certificate, but this post was not sponsored in any other way, all opinions are my own, and I've spent my own money at Novica on numerous occasions.

The silver earrings made by Aoy, an artist from Thailand are absolutely beautiful and so unique!! I would love to be able to wear those and tell all my girlfriends about Novica when they ask where they're from. Not only is the jewelry beautiful, but I love to support groups like Novica!! I will surely be going to their website!
    Thanks for sharing 🙂

    Lori

  62. I love seeing what you buy from Novica. I'm not a silver person, but I AM a gold-toned person. I was pleasantly surprised to see a few new gold-toned items added to the site! (makes my heart skip a beat to see them so well-priced).

    In love with this more modern piece: http://jewelry.novica.com/necklaces/modern/gold-vermeil-rose-quartz-pendant-necklace-living-coral/203843

    I also read the artist's bio. It feels personable, and honest! Not sure I'd get the same info from any other jewelry store. 🙂

  65. Love the silver circle earrings! I would probably choose those - I love things that move with me when I'm wearing them!

  67. I would definitely try a pair of the pearl earrings and I would try to find something for my daughter. Every time she wears earrings her earlobe gets infected.

  70. I could always use earrings, but also getting ready for a vacation,
    so a cute dress would be good too.

  71. I love the earrings! My skin is sensitive to many metals too. I prefer sterling silver to the lower karat golds, which also make me itch!

  72. I'd be interested in the bracelets. I wear a lot of silver and the silver twist bracelet you mentioned sounds perfect. Thanks!

  74. Probably the cotton tunic 'turquoise dew', but tempting to splurge on a tunic dress-gorgeous!

  75. I would definitely go with some silver earrings. Earrings are something that still fit no matter how much my size changes!

  76. Love the jewelry. I would pick the Sterling silver cuff bracelet, 'Ribbon Twist.'

  77. I would love to win as they have a beautiful mirror that would look great in my bathroom (although they only have 1 left and not sure it will be there in a month). If it is gone then I would find some beautiful earrings for myself or daughter.

  78. I love the sterling silver flower love bracelet. I barely have any bracelets in my collection of jewelry, so this would be a very versatile and welcome addition. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

  79. Just looked at their website, and instantly fell love with the sterling silver rose pendant. 🙂

  82. I would buy a few pairs of earrings, like your double helix one or the cute little elephants! There are so many to choose from!

  83. I would love to get the blck dress and the black pearl earrings! Thank you for sharing.

    P.S. I really miss your menu plan:(

  85. Very difficult decision, but would buy a couple of Christmas gift!!! Trying to get a head start!

  87. I would choose earrings. I'm rather picky about the size and weight, so I only have a few pair. They have so many beautiful options to choose from.

  89. Hard choice! the earrings you posted are so cute, but I am off to look at the dress too!

    1. Honestly...I would, for most certain, purchase the Tomomi cotton dress in casual black. My tummy is my self conscience area and I think that this dress would be very flattering.

  91. My 7yo has a birthday coming up - I'm thinking a lovely new pair of earrings would be wonderful for her. Plus, she loves to browse jewelry, so I'm sure I could get her to "shop" and give me some ideas about what she'd really like to have.

  92. It's so hard to choose, but the "Sterling silver flower earrings, 'Chakra Moons'" caught my eye. If I won, it would take some serious hemming and hawing to decide.

  93. I would totally get Jersey knit top, 'Cocoa Twist'. I've ordered several tops, jewelry and decorative items from Novica. I have always been pleased with my purchases. 🙂

  94. Really like "World of Blue" kyanite chandelier earrings for me! But if I won the gift certificate, I might spend it for Christmas gifts instead. Thanks for offering us the opportunity!

  97. I would buy a pair of earrings and a necklace for my sister as a "Thank you" gift for being my maid of honor in my wedding. I see a few things that would match her dress just beautifully!

  98. Thanks foe including us in the fun:) I think I might order the silver hoop earrings that you got! I love that they turnand move with your movement!

    Have a great summer 🙂

    Dana

  99. I have never heard of Novica. Thank you for this post! Many pretty things.

  100. I would love to get some pretty silver earrings too. I also like what Novica is going to help artists

  101. I would buy myself some jewelry or some clothing from their clothing collection. I am always looking for clothing that is produced ethically!

  104. Well I also like the sterling silver earrings on the site and really haven't looked at much else. I like the jade ball trio they have. It's more than 50 but then I'd also have earrings to share with my daughters. We could each pick a pair and have nice dressy but simple earrings.

    I also thought the black pearls you bought were nice. Very classic.

  105. I Love getting your email,!, I have followed you for quite some time AND I do alot of the things you talk about. It is Fun. Thank You!
    I have NEVER won anything! (I will be 58 in September, lol)
    Not really sure what I would use the gift card for but, you can be assured, I will spend it wisely. I Love jewelry! In need of new Church outfit, also!
    I will check out the website and have something picked out by the time I win the card, lol
    Again, Thanks for all your hard work...

  108. Well I would love the pair of circle earrings. Simple but elegant. Thanks for hosting this give away.

  110. Silver earrings for sure! For my daughter, who also has sensitive ears. 🙂

  112. I love Novica jewelry and recently purchased a ring made in Thailand, which was beautifully made and well worth the price.

    This time I think I would buy a pair of the 'Sunflower' gold-plated cultured pearl flower earrings, to honor the flower child in me.

  113. Ooohhhh... love that site! I think I need the Alpaca Blend Sweater - "Black Charisma"!

  114. I would purchase my daughter her first pair of drop earrings in her birthstone-- peridot. What beautiful work from these artists!

  121. It has been a really long time since I had any budget to buy jewelry. I would have to curl up next to the computer and look at everything over and over again to make sure that I was making the right decision. I had to sell my jewelry so it would be so wonderful to have a piece with such significance. Thank you for sharing the offer, it will make someone's day to win such a generous gift!

  122. Wow - it would be hard to choose! It would be between 'Benoa Sunrise', 'Green Earth', or 'Ribbons'.

  123. I would love to buy a beautiful piece just to make me smile every time I look at it. Greatly needed this year.<3

  124. I love the fair trade aspect of this business!

    If I won the $50, I'd probably buy these two sets of earrings.

    http://jewelry.novica.com/earrings/dangle/sterling-silver-dangle-earrings-sea-current/198919 These because they are on sale and remind me of the ocean I grew up near!

    http://jewelry.novica.com/earrings/dangle/sterling-silver-dangle-earrings-movement/204717 These are marvelously unique. I love the movement aspect of them and they'd shake things up for my wardrobe a bit!

    I love supporting businesses like this.

  128. I really enjoy your blog. Thanks for sponsoring the giveaway! I love the wooden vases and would probably pick one of those. I'm glad to learn about Novica and will definitely buy gifts from them in the future.

  132. I am not sure what I would buy....jewelry maybe...maybe clothes...I am daydreaming about it now:)

  134. Such beautiful jewelry! I have been wanting a pair of earrings like your helix ones and I like the 'early rain' earrings.

  135. I think I would get the "Sublime" peridot earrings, although I might change my mind. There is a lot of beautiful stuff there!

  136. I like some of the sun and moon themed wall art.
    I also want a hammock so bad. Even though the apartment is totally not big enough for one.
    And there's a pair of clip-on earrings that look like tropical fish... in a cute way.

    Yeah, I'd take me a while to choose.

  137. A really wonderful site! My pick is Cotton tunic, 'Side Cinch White' by Tomomi.

  139. I would really like a pair of helix earrings like yours. Do they still have those?

  140. I would love the jewelry you chose and the cute little black dress! I'm going to check out Novinca's website right now!

  142. Ooo, I'd get some more earrings! I received the helix earrings that you have for Christmas, and I love them, too. Wearing them makes this stay-at-home mom feel a little more "professional".

  144. I would have a tough time deciding since I love necklaces and they have so many beautiful ones.

  146. Oh what a great giveaway! I would put the $ towards a pearl necklace.
    Thank you Novica and frugal girl!

  149. I would get one of the leather and semi precious stone wrap bracelets! Thanks for the giveaway!

  153. I would like some everyday earrings, and I have sensitive ears too, so I'd choose from those collections.

    Thanks! Love your blog 🙂

  154. One of the handbags with an elephant on it or the amythest jewelry - it's all so beautiful it's hard to decide!

  155. I just clicked over to the website and love the Jungle Orchid Cluster earrings! I would love to win $50.

  159. I would buy the silver dangle earrings "Pirouette". Love your blog and I'm loving Novica. I am tempted to order these earrings either way. LOL

  160. For me it would be the Cotton top, 'Trendy Blue Andes'. I'm so in love with off the shoulder tops.

  162. Oh, I love this jewelry! Oh, I want to win! 🙂
    I have a LONG list. I would either buy two pair of earrings: Beaded chandelier earrings, 'Kiwi Kiss' AND Carnelian and garnet cluster earrings, 'Green Earth' OR use the $50 (and some of my own) to buy either Amethyst and topaz band rings, 'Constellation' (set of 9) OR Sodalite dangle earrings, 'Inca Mystique.' My favorite is the last one.

  164. What a fun site! I love the unique items on this website. We have our first child, a baby boy, due in July so I think I would go with the Sterling Silver dangle earrings, 'Ruby Whirlwind' since ruby would be his birthstone. : )

  165. I would love to buy some earrings for my daughter with the Novica $50. My daughter loves several of the styles offered within the site selection.

  167. Hi, I'd love that little black dress you featured, I'm kind of a large girl and don't know if it comes in my size or not, but that's what my dreams tell me would be wonderful. It's my birthday today and I live alone and it would be a wonderful gift......Thanks for doing this, I bought a religious item from Novica for my stepfather and his wife for Christmas and they absolutely went over the moon about it! I think you had an offer then too. It was a wooden Christ on the Cross and they couldn't stop "emailing" about it! They liked the Novica story, too. Peace, Barb

  171. I would probably let my daughters pick out something for me as they have a much better sense of fashion then I do:-)

  173. I love this jewelry! Never heard of them before but for sure will be purchasing for both my daughter and myself.
    I would get the black pearl trinity earrings first.
    Nancy

  174. Auuugghhh. Can't decide what I'd buy. Would be really fun, though, to look thru all the wonderful choices!

  175. I would buy one of the dresses. I had a baby 4 months ago and I am just starting to feel comfortable in my body again. I think it is time for a treat! I am not sure which dress I would buy because they are all so beautiful but I, too, love wearing dresses in the summer so that is certainly what I would buy.

  181. I think your black pearl earings are great. Simple and classic that's the way I like my jewelry.
    Thanks for offering the giveaway.

  182. My son is engaged to a beautiful woman in Brazil. They met on a Christian dating site. We are going to the wedding in January. My dress makes me feel very beautiful and I will feel even better when I lose 18 more pounds. I still need to get jewelry for this special time. So that is what I would get with $50. I spent more than I should have on the dress but I had not been successful at thrift stores and sales racks. Got shoes at the outlet mall on a very good markdown sale. I love being thrifty. And I love your posts.

  183. So many beautiful things to choose from, I would be sure to find a great 16th birthday gift for my daughter!

  184. I just purchased a vintage pearl necklace at a thrift store so I would buy the pearl earrings.

  185. Oooh! Probably the "Nest of Lillies" Ring " which is divine! The "Precious Purity" Earrings would be a close 2nd. So pretty!

  186. My brother's wedding is coming up so I think I would probably get a new dress. I like the one you chose but I have a few black dresses so perhaps the chocolate brown one would be good. I also like the jersey "Blue Denpassar Chic" dress, though it looks like I would have to layer something under the deep vee!

  187. So many lovely choices! At this point I can't narrow it down to one. But I love the earrings.

  189. I have a few basic sterling silver accessories, e.g., plain hoop/stud earrings + simple necklaces, so I think that I would probably purchase a signature item such as the owl pendant. Thanks!

  190. I would definitely pick up some earrings! I'm constantly disappointed by tarnished jewelry, as I find it difficult to figure out what quality even is. I'd love to support this.

  192. If I won the gift certificate I would really like to get the Peridot earrings "August Poppy". These are my birthday gemstone and I don't have any jewelry with my birthstone. I do LOVE pearls though, and wear some that my husband got me very often. 😀 Also, I have to say that I am very glad that you posted about this site on here. I never heard of them, and they do have really lovely jewelry. I know that my husband will surely enjoy shopping the site for me in the future. 😉

  194. Oh awesome giveaway! I'd actually love the very first set of pearl earring on the link you posted. The cultured pearl dangle earrings "precious purity". Love them!

  195. I also love the dark pearl earrings. I have a dark blue pearl necklace, and I've lost one of the matching earrings. Those would be a perfect replacement! Plus I would let my daughter choose some of her own 🙂

    Definitely like the jewelry on the site.

  196. How would I spend $50 at Novica? On some beautiful silver earrings! Other than my wedding ring the only jewelry I wear these days are earrings, and I love to have a nice variety so I can switch things up depending on what I'm wearing.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  197. I love earrings, but as a Frugal Gal, I only buy them "as needed" (and who really, truly NEEDS earrings??). I have one pair of plain silver ones that I don't even really like, but I'm too cheap to buy another pair. With this gift certificate, I would be able to add a little life to my earring selection!!!

  198. The sun pattern wool rug or silver hoop earrings. Thanks for the chance to win.

  199. I would buy earrings definitely or put it towards one of their lovely throws!

  202. I LOVE Aoy's "Early Rain". I bought them as a Christmas present for my sister-in-law last year, but I secretly wanted a pair for myself, too. I also love her "Joyous Dancer", so I would probably save up and use the rest of my gift card for those.

  203. I love looking at the unique and beautiful jewelry! 🙂 If I were to win the $50 gift certificate, I would love a pair of the Infinito silver earrings (could go with so many outfits!) and the Glowing Exotic pair. Just so pretty. I must admit that I also really like the Aqua Showers pair

  204. I absolutely love the circular earrings......................have seen something similar to those...................would love to own a pair!
    Thanks for bringing attention to such great, well made products!

  205. I love the earrings but since I don't have pierced ears I think I would get one of their beautiful scarves.

  207. What lovely things! I've bookmarked their site so I can go back and check it out later. I could spend all day browsing if I'm not careful! I'd get the dangle earrings - Love Tornado.

  209. I would get the twisted ribbon silver cuff bracelet. I had fun "window shopping"- it's a cool site!

  210. I really like the "Summer Breeze" dress - I'd probably go for that! Great site and great giveaway - thanks!

  211. I'd love to put the gift certificate towards that cute black dress!! Thanks for the opportunity, and a great blog.

  212. Freebie & Frugal! Two of my favorite words! Woot woot! Thanks for the giveaway!

  215. I have three sisters, a mom, and two young nieces who all love earrings (I do, too!:-)) I would use the gift certificate to buy a gift for one of them (for birthday or Christmas, most likely).

  219. Whoa, I love everything I saw on their website! Thanks for highlighting it. I think that I would totally pick out an iron sculpture or a wooden carving if I had $50 to spend!

  220. I had a hard time narrowing it down! Everything is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this site because I had, sadly, never heard of it. If I had $50 to spend there, I'd probably get the cotton blouse "Cool Day". Love it!

  221. I would probably buy some sort of jewelry for my wife. We haven't had the chance to do a lot of splurges lately, since we're both trying to launch businesses and money is a bit tight. We have bought from Novica before and loved the chance to support an artisan in a developing country. I would love the chance to do that again.

  224. I love Aoy's New Leaf earrings. There are so many beautiful things, it's hard to choose!

  225. I love Novica products! I also have been evaluating my wardrobe and purchasing choices, and I really enjoy the cotton tunics by Ritu Agnihotri. I have one from Bangladesh that is similar but it is too big on me now. I'd love to replace that item with something that fits.

  226. They have very lovely things. I would get the coconut shell floral butterfly necklace, with some leftover for something else.

  227. I have been in love with Novica for forever. I got a set of hand blown glasses and a gorgeous hand blown water/tea pitcher from there and they are still my favorite items in the house. And man are those things sturdy.

    Let's see this go around I would probably get something along the lines of the Tropical White long peasant skirt and just pay the difference myself. It's gorgeous!

  229. I would choose the "Gothic Lace" Cross Necklace by Aoy as a gift for my daughter.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win 🙂

  230. I would buy the cotton sundress in Classic Olive or Chic Olive (both are cute and my fav color!)

  231. Sounds fantastic. I'd love to shop for myself or a upcoming birthday gift for my sister in law. Thanks!

  235. Funny, I have those black pearl ones as well! I'd be leaning towards those hoop ones you pointed out today, those look cool and my other pair of silver hoops just broke. 🙁 OR, a purse since my current one is on its last leg. I like the Visionaire!

  236. I love Novica too. Since you introduced me to them, we've gotten several elephant themed things. I'd love to check out what's new--I'd love new elephant stuff 🙂

  237. Either some earrings for my sister or a necklace for myself. I have bought a few things from Novica before and always enjoy them!

  238. It is hard to just pick one item.
    I love their pearl jewelry and I love the glassware for the table top as well.

  239. Hello there!
    To tell you the truth, I've no idea what I would get. Being Dutch, I had never even heard of Novica before...
    If I were to receive the gift certificate, I'd probably try and get something nice for my daughter who will turn 13 in july (hard to believe, time really does fly!). We normally don't indulge in such luxurious gifts, so it would be really special and memorable. Maybe it would be an even better idea to save the gift for her 16th birthday? Kind of hard to keep it a secret for three whole
    though;).
    Love, Carolina

  242. I love the idea of a $50 gift certificate to spend! My daughter's birthday is coming up so I would treat her to a pair of earrings. She has sensitive ears too so I think that would be a nice way to treat her.
    Thank you!
    Christette

  244. I would LOVE to win this gift certificate. I have recently returned to the workforce and although I have a few tried and true work outfits that I have had for years, I am lacking in jewelry and accessories to update the looks. Being on a budget, I have purchased cheaper jewelry, but the items I have bought have broken quickly or just look terrible. I would love some quality accessories to dress up my work clothes. Thanks to you and Novica for this giveaway.

  245. I would probably buy earrings, but there are so many great things, I would shop around if I won.

  246. If I won the $50 gift card I would buy the Falling Leaves earrings by Guillermo Arregui. They are really beautiful. Even without the contest I'm so glad that I went to this site. I love it. The jewelry is beautiful and unique. Thank you!

  249. Ack, so hard to decide...but I would probably get one of the tops, since I need some new clothes and they have so many beautiful styles that fit my crunchy/hippie taste. Lol.

  250. I would buy my daughter a pair of hoop earrings. Good way to start my Christmas shopping!

  253. Oh I love some many things! I think I'd buy the Thai Serenade necklace. Gorgeous!

  254. I'd get a new ring, or maybe a bracelet! My son is starting to understand not to pull on jewelry, so I can wear it again and want to get some grown-up pieces!

  256. Love that cute black summer dress. Always wear skirts and dresses in the summer.

  258. I would love to receive this gift card! I would most like snatch up a pair of earrings or a long neclace!

  260. I also liked the jewelry made by Aoy and didn't really feel the need to look any further. I don't have many fancy necklaces and the minimalist choker is exactly my style, I've seen similar ones around but never splurged on myself to get one 🙂

    http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=154955

    Even if I weren't to win, I would come back to her shop when I am in the jewelry-buying mood and my wallet agrees 🙂

  261. After several years with smallish babies with grabby hands I haven't worn a lot of jewelry. Over the past year I've been increasing my wardrobe and would love a couple new pieces.

  272. It's always so hard to choose because there are so many options! I found the Wood retablo called 'Blue Nativity' and really love it. Thanks for the chance!

  274. I'm so torn! I would possibly be a copy-cat and get either of the pairs of earrings you did, because I love them both, or I would get a cushion cover to add some zip to my living room.

  275. I think I would get one of those cute dresses... I love dresses in the summer too!

  277. Found this pretty necklace w/ pearls and quartz. It's $36.50, so you would still have some money left over to help pay for some new earrings, too. I like that w/ the white pearls and clear quartz, you could wear it w/ so many different clothes.

  278. So many choices! I really love the 'Lunar Fanfare' sterling silver dangle earrings and the 'Live Fully' leather wrap bracelet.

  279. I love the earrings and the dress! It would be hard to decide what to get... But if I won I'm sure I could take on the challenge!!

  282. One of their cute scarves or maybe a splurge and get a new rug for in front of the sink. Great site!

  284. I would probably buy : Gold plated garnet flower earrings, 'Frangipani Splendor'
    What a gorgeous website, thanks for sharing!

  286. I'd pick the rabbits- eating- carrots figurines, one for me and one for my sister.

  288. While I want everything, if I was blessed with the giftcard I would choose:

    Ebony wood necklace, Loyal Mughal Enchantress and the Wood flower necklace, Elephant Shadow!

  289. I really like the Pearl chandelier earrings white light. Hope to win the $50 gift!
    Thanks:)

  290. The jewelry is gorgeous, but I just don't wear it. I'd buy some Mate gourd ornaments, but it would be hard to choose which ones. So far I love the Fuchsia Ladybugs and Starlight Dove sets. I'd better stop browsing before I'm in too deep.

  292. That is so hard, but there are a couple oftunics I have been wanting from Novica.

  293. Ooh, I'd love to get something with pearls. They are my birthstone, and so pretty.

  296. I love the cotton tunic "mandala white" from India, among many, many other things!

  297. This is a great site! WOW! Thank you for the opportunity : I think that I would choose the Sterling silver dangle earrings, 'Chiang Mai Chimes'. They are beautiful!

  299. The handbags!!! Oh the handbags!!! They were all so beautiful! I would absoluely purchase a bag!

  301. It's so hard to choose! I love so many of the things on their site. I'd love to get something for my parents. They just put an addition on their house and have been looking for some extra decor items to make the new spaces cozy. They did buy a coffee table from Novica! I had told them about it awhile ago (after I had read about it from you) and they loved all the amazing products on the website! So thank you for making it known to us!

  304. I have wanted a simple pair of pearl earrings for quite a while now so I think I would have to go with those. I have looked over Aoy's creations and really like most of her things as well. It would be a tough decision!

  306. I would love to get my mom a pair of good post earrings. She has very sensitive ears just like your girls.

  308. I love so many things from this site it is hard to say what I'd buy with $50. Probably a nice artsy piece to go in my home, but...jewelry is a rare thing I buy for myself so that might be nice too!

  310. I love the silver earrings you bought for yourself! I'd love to have a pair for myself.

  313. I would definitely use the gift certificate to buy jewelry - either earrings or a bracelet!

  315. Oh my goodness! So many choices. But I think I might just go for the black dress that you featured. It looks so easy to wear!

  317. awesome. I just cleaned out my jewelry today and fixed and made some cute earrings for my daughter. If I won, I would splurge on myself or gift to someone. It is not every day I win something.

  318. I would choose something on sale...so that I could get 2 items. I liked the onyx dangle earings: "Thai Melody" and the silver dangle earings: "Chiang Mai Chimes". The items on this website are so distinctive. Thanks for the giveaway.

  320. I would buy these pearl drop earrings "Snow Queen" by Khun Boom from Thailand. Strongly influenced : ) by the blue black ones you featured on your blog!! but the colour is not me...I love these earrings because they are delicate and quiet, classic and very wearable#!!**!!..no..that's not the word...adaptable??...dress-up dress-downable??...hmmmmm. They would make an excellent addition to a workable, gorgeous, no-fuss wardobe; which is what I want. But what a wonderful place to buy jewelry!! And gifts!! Like wandering through a pavilion that speaks of the incredible beauty of women, in all its gorgeously varied manifestations!!

  325. After checking some things out, I would get the Amethyst and lapis lazuli beaded bracelet.

  326. I love Novica! I've been shopping there for years. Right now, I'd buy a lightweight, long skirt for summer.

  327. I looked at Aoy's beautiful earrings! Love them. There were several I loved. I love the roses and Thai Lace. SO many choices! Would love to win.

  328. Good morning,
    I would buy the same helix earrings that you have. I have admired them for awhile.
    Thanks

  330. I'd like to buy something for a friend who is going through some hard times right now.

  333. Oh my goodness ... I haven't shopped for myself in so long! To be honest, my first instinct would be to shop for a gift to give some one else, but it would be lovely to treat myself - maybe something extravagant and impractical like dangly earrings. 🙂

  334. I'd love the black pearl earrings! I got a black pearl necklace when we were in China 10 years ago, and these earrings would coordinate beautifully with it! 🙂

  335. I was thinking one of the handbags. My current diaper bag is not working out so great and I think one of the roomier handbags might be a nice replacement. Thanks so much!

  336. I love the scarves, have gotten them for a couple of dear friends, and want one for myself. Thanks!

  338. I would love any amount of money to Novica! I was born minimalist and made frugal at birth; but now I'm feeling the weight of all the slave-made stuff I've gone through in my life. Novica is still kind of expensive for my writer's wife budget but I love, love, love supporting artists in any country, much less one where my support goes so far and does so much.

  339. I would get the "Beaded cotton tunic, 'Paisley Luxury'". I love tunics! Thanks - enjoy your blog!

  340. I would look at getting a silver or leather bracelet, or maybe a unique piece of fabric.

  341. Love the black pearl earrings. I need some dainty just like those. They will be a beautiful match for my necklace. Thanks for the site!!

  342. I would love that cute black dress!! I have an 8 month old and after having 3 kids my body is not where it should be. The dress looks like a perfect splurge that would be forgiving on a Mom that has not had the time to get back into shape. I have been reading you blog for over 2 years and this is my first comment. Thank you for all of your valulable information and wonderful recipes.

  344. I would have to pick one of the cute tops! Or maybe a pearl necklace. But the dress I saw was beautiful, too. Just too hard to decide!

  347. They look lovely. I also have very sensitive ears so I am most often sans earrings. Maybe this is the way to go for me.

  349. I love jewelry! I was buying them from house parties and learned fast that they didn't last, whether they changed in color, or just plain broke. I would definitely get a pair of earrings from Novica to replace the set I would always wear until I lost one.

  354. Beautiful earrings! I like Rose quartz flower earrings, 'Mystic Daisy' and Rose quartz flower earrings, 'Rose Bloom', just to get started! 🙂

  355. Wow! I think I need a bigger paycheck. I want to buy all of it. What a great site!!! In my ooooo'ing and aaaaa'ing I found the Pearl strand necklace, 'Purple Web of Beauty'. Cute. 🙂

  357. If I would be luckily enough to win the $50 to spend on the Novica website I know exactly what I would purchase with it. I looked through their items and decided that I would get one of their beautiful colorful handbags or totes. The reason being that is something that I would use everyday and carry it with me. Then as I would go through the day people would ask me where I got such a wonderful item and I could share with the story of the items that they sell. Our church sponsored something similiar to this a couple years ago and they response to it was great. I think that women, especially like to do things to be able to lift up and help other women.

  358. I would probably pick one of the silk scarves, but it would be hard to choose which one.

  359. This sit is wonderful I never went here before. Some really great artists and designers. A lot of great stuff but the earrings are all so lovely I would probably end up getting a pair (or two!).

  361. I would love to have the sterling silver earrings-Infinito & Raindrops by Pichaya. I really like some of her creations.

  363. I would either buy the 'Inner Circle' earrings like you have or the 'Early Rain' earrings. It's really hard to decide!

  364. I'd love to buy a dress--I too am looking to buy more ethical, sustainable clothing!

  368. I'm always on the hunt for a LBD that can also be worn to work. So, I'd definitely purchase that!

  370. Thanks for sharing this site! I love a number of items... including all of the elephant necklaces 🙂 'Mystical Ganesha' and 'loving elephants' are my top picks, though the black dress is also cute.

  371. I would love to get an alpaca sweater! I've heard they are much softer than wool. 🙂

  373. I am absolutley in love with the earrings "Clouds of Sedire" by Neeru Goel. I think they would look good with my coloring and current hair style. Thank you for bringing this website to my attention. I was not previously aware of it but looking at it there are many things I would purchase for gifts for otheres. Each item is unique and truly the work of an artist. Thank you again and I hope I win the gift card.

  377. I love the blue-black pearl earrings! I would get those to jazz up simpler outfits!

  378. I would love to win so I could buy the "ornate lace" silver dangle earrings or the "little owl" marcasite and garnet necklace. Both are beautiful so it would be hard to decide

  379. It's so hard to pick, but I've been looking for a new necklace, so is probably choose one of those.

  380. I'd buy a serving platter. All mine seem to be white or green, I need to branch out.

  381. Wow..what a beautiful site. I would probably spend the $50 on those colorful bags from Bali and Thailand.

  382. Wow..what a beautiful site. I would probably spend the $50 on those colorful bags from Bali and Thailand.

  386. The earrings are so beautiful! I'm super picky about my jewelry and I think I just found a new place to shop!

  387. I love the cultured pearl dangle earrings in "exquisite white" - so pretty! Thanks for the giveaway!

  388. If I won the 50$ gift certificate, I would purchase earrings for my granddaughter's birthday. My son is a disabled veteran and times are pretty hard around here while he waits for his disability to kick in. It is so hard not being able to celebrate such occasions without gifts. Thank you for your consideration.

  389. I'm not sure what I'd buy yet but there are several I'm interested in. I would have no trouble spending that $50!! Thanks for making me aware of this business.

  391. Hadn't read your blog for a few days and then, all of a sudden I see "my" earrings in your post!
    You inspired me about Novica-webshop and I already bought some jewelry (the black pearls you bought recently are since last November in my possession and I enjoy them a lot!) and presents with them. I would like to participate in your giveaway, because they have so much beautiful jewelry, clothing and all other things! If I would win, I would buy the very colourfull earrings I was doubting about last time or one of the wonderful pashmina's.

  392. I bought my mom a beautiful Thai bracelet for Christmas (after reading about your endorsement of Novica) and would love something similar for myself. It would be a great treat as I start a new job 🙂

  393. Since I am still looking for my 50th birthday present to myself, I would purchase the sterling silver dangle earrings - Pirouette - by Aoy. They are totally adorable. I can wear them to work, out to dinner with my family or on a casual day.

  394. Hmmm. Its a toss-up between the Butterfly Moon earrings and the Black Thai Chic handbag. There is waaay to much eye candy on the Novica site!

  398. I like the Jersey knit dress, 'Java in Blue Chic'. captainliss40(at)gmail(dot)com

  399. I love the dresses. My favourite is the "Jersey Knit Dress Java in Blue Chic" by Desak Nyoman Parwati. It is so pretty.
    I am going to a wedding in October and would love to wear something beautiful like this.
    Thank you for posting the Novica details, I had not heard of Novica before.

  400. I would probably spend it on jewelry they have some of the most lovely pieces I have ever seen.

  401. I would buy a pair of dangle-ly earrings for my sister who's birthday is coming up.

  402. Hmm, I really like those circle earrings you got -- I'd like a pair of those too! 🙂

  404. i would be a lovely chain for my husband as he needs a new one and his birthday is just around the corner : )

  406. A couple of years ago, my good friend made me a pair of amethyst dangle earrings to match the dress I wore for my wedding rehearsal lunch. They are some of my favorite earrings...and it was super-kind of her to make them just for me! So, I think I would treat myself to an amethyst bracelet ...maybe Path of Wisdom or Violet Dreams... that would complement the fantastic earrings!

  408. I'd buy the beautiful sterling silver Raindrop dangle earrings. So pretty!! Thanks for being so thoughtful in sharing.

  409. So many beautiful things to choose from. I know I would buy earrings, but I don't know which ones. They are so special, I'm sue whichever ones I got would be gorgeous!

  410. I need new silver earrings because my cheap ones wore out. Correction, I need quality silver earrings. I like several on the page (kind of overwhelming looking at them all!) Would probably get "Starlight Tear"

  411. I love the dress you looked at but I'd have to choose a chess set for my husband -- I know he'd love one!

  412. I LOVE the shift dress and the maxi dresses. They all look so comfy though...just what this momma needs. 😉

  417. Novica has several beautiful batik scarves - it would be hard to choose, but any choice would be a winner. Thanks to you and Novica for this giveaway.

  419. I would be frugal with my $50 and give myself a jewellry makeover, and purchase as many pieces of jewellry as my $50 would allow. I think jewellry lasts longer than clothing, and for me I wear jewellry everyday as part of my personal style. Thanks for the contest!

  422. I have sensitive ears so I can't wear cheap earrings but if you say Novica's earrings cater to sensitive ears then I would like to try some. I would buy earrings that I could wear on any occasions.

  423. Oh, there were so many things that I liked. But, I'd probably end up with a pair of dangly silver earrings or one of their pretty scarves. 🙂

  424. I love the batik scarves they have, but I also love the sterling silver dangle earrings. I would check with my daughter before ordering. Maybe she could pick a "going away to college" gift. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  428. Thanks for the giveaway! Our home was broken into a few weeks ago and all my jewelry was stolen. So, I would definitely use the $50 to buy some jewelry. They have such beautiful stuff!

  430. I really like the silver hoop earring you chose. Looks like it would go with lots of things!

  431. I'd buy a cotton dress for the summer! I love throwing them on for a casual day. They're so comfortable and cute 🙂

  433. I love silver jewelry! I think it's much more classy than gold. I'd love a gift certificate to buy some.

  437. Earrings! Mostly because I'm WAY too pregnant to think about clothing right now 🙂

  438. I would probably take FOREVER to pick something out, but my daughter loves dragons, while the other daughter loves frogs. Lots of themes here! (Or there's always earrings for me!)

  439. I love your new circle earrings. A lot like what I've been looking for, so I would probably snag those!

  441. Like your girls, I have super sensitive ears and would love a pair of new earrings. Thanks!

  442. I would buy some good earrings. All of mine are changing color because they are junk.

  445. i like thesehttp://jewelry.novica.com/earrings/drop/turquoise-drop-earrings-aztec-star/180944 earrings:

  446. That's a toughie! I love the Jade Cocktail Ring, so I'd probably put the gift certificate toward that.

    Thanks for a great giveaway!

  448. I really love both of the earrings you bought, though I think I'd buy the black pearls. They are nice and unlike any that I've owned.

    Kristy

  449. Some earrings probably. It's too hard to choose, they are so many beautiful items.

  452. Receiving a 50 dollar certificate would be awesome! I would divide and conquer my tired linen closet. I would entice one of my nieces to assist me with the certificate to whoever repurposes/constructs the most utilitarian item out of the the worn and torn pillow cases that have embroidery I can't part with. I would oogle over the jewelry they reward themselves with. Of course if both make thoughtful attempts, I would split it between them. But, don't tell them that. A little competition will inspire them.
