Novica and I are going to help you with your Christmas shopping!
Congrats to Kathy, commenter #36...you're the winner of the $50 Novica gift code! Have fun shopping!
Woo! I'm SO excited about this.
You may remember that I gave away a Novica gift certificate this past summer. Well, I'm happy to say that I'm here to do it again.
Novica is a National Geographic company that partners with artisans around the world, helping them to make a living and bringing fair-trade goods to you and me. I'm a fan of being frugal, as you know, but I also dearly love to spend my money in ways that help support causes I believe in, and paying people fair wages is definitely a cause I can get behind.
In addition to selling beautiful jewelry, Novica also sells accessories (women's accessories and men's too!)
Check out the scarves...love this gray one!
I really enjoyed the jewelry I got from Novica in August, so I used my gift certificate this time to order some more. I got a little something for Lisey, which I won't show you just yet (she reads my blog sometimes!), and I also ordered a pair of earrings for myself. Aren't they lovely?
If you're looking for a really versatile earring, I highly recommend the Helix pair I chose this past summer.
I wear them alllll the time! They're $24.99 and since they're sterling silver, they'll look good for years to come (unlike those cheap ones from other stores, which stay silver-looking for only a short period of time.)
I've pretty much been wearing them nonstop since August.
Check out all the great stuff Novica offers...I bet you'll be able to find something for someone on your list!
Oh, and through the end of today, Novica.com
is offering free shipping, and that'll help your Christmas budget to go just a little farther.
Plus, you can use the code SAVE5TODAY for $5 off any order, SAVE10TODAY for $10/$50 and SAVE20TODAY for $20/$100.
Even better, I've got a $50 gift code to give away to one of you!
To enter, visit Novica, and leave me a comment telling me what you'd like to buy with the $50.
I'll randomly choose a winner in 48 hours so that the winner can hurry and get on with their holiday shopping! Don't put off entering or you'll miss out.
No purchase necessary. One entry per person. Winner will be chosen at random.
Disclosure: Novica provided me with a $50 gift code. I received no other compensation and all opinions are my own.

Joshua's 365 post: This Should Make You Smile
I just made my second Novica purchase last night 🙂 But there are still some snowmen ornaments I want 😀
What a great cause! If I won, I would buy http://accessories.novica.com/womens/scarves/silk/silk-scarf-green-mint-supreme/142642/ In the meantime, I will peruse the site when I get the chance. Love that they highlight the person who made the product!
I would love to buy a scarf and give it to one of my sisters for Christmas. They are lovely.
I'd buy earrings. I have such a limited amount of good earrings.
I'd get the Maya Jade cotton tote.
Ooh, I would desperately love to win this! I would buy the cluster "clouds" earrings, or maybe the "Elephant Blues" cotton handbag.
I would love to buy jewelry for my Mom for Christmas!
I love the "luminous" earrings with turquoise in them. Yummy.
I would love the Sterling silver dangle earrings, 'Forest Star'
I would get a pair of earrings for my daughter. I like several different pair, so I'd have to spend some more time looking to decide what I thought she'd like best. It would be difficult to choose, I think, because they have so many great ones!
I bought a scarf for my husband's grandma from them this year. I would love to get one for myself, they are so beautiful!
There are so many beautiful items! I think I would treat myself a little this year, since I usually don't buy much jewelry for myself, and get the Bracelet, 'Silver Waves'! Thank you for being so generous!
I think that I would choose the Memory earrings. Lovely things. Thanks for the opportunity to win this!
I would buy the Sea Vision dangle earrings...I somehow lost the little bag with ALL my earrings while traveling this fall so I need a fresh start!
I would get the owl necklace. Though everything is so beautiful and it would be hard to choose!
I would get the Sterling silver drop earrings, 'Traditions'.
Angie
I'm a sucker for silver! The earrings you're sporting have really caught my eye.
Oh, THAT'S easy! I've had my eye on this pair of lapis lazuli butterfly earrings for quite a while...
I am thinking the earrings, they look beautiful!
I would probably get the Diamond Light tote or maybe some earrings.
I'm all over the earrings. I've been looking for some good quality earrings. They have so many Beautiful things, that it would be very difficult to choose.
What a great site -- I hope I'm the winner! 🙂 I would buy a couple of the journals and notebooks. Love the naturalness of them! I'd keep one and give the other away as a gift!
I would love to buy some earrings also! I have an obsession with dangly earrings. Love your blog!
I think I would have to buy those Helix earrings you are wearing or most likely I would end up buying for my daughters and not for myself 🙂
I would buy the cotton scarf in Timeless Purple. All of their things are so lovely though, it would be hard to choose!
I like the Pearl Pendant necklace.
I would love to buy some pretty earrings!
I absolutely love the blue topaz dangle earrings.
Earrings for my sister!
I think, maybe, perhaps...oh so hard to choose...
A beautiful new handbag! Yes. I think. Thank you for the chance.
Since I'm done with my Christmas shopping, I would buy myself some earrings to replace the ones that are currently making my ears green! I like the abstract clover ones or I might choose a couple of the cluster style ones in different colors...hmm...
Thinking something turquoise to add to my mom's collection that is slowly being restored after a house fire we had where it was all ruined. Thanks Kristen for hosting these give aways! 🙂
Wow - so many neat items but I've got my eye on a drum.
Wow, so many beautiful things to choose from! I think I would get either one of those beautiful silk scarves, or a necklace, and give it to my mom for Christmas.
I would actually give it to my husband so that he can buy my Christmas presents! He has really good taste and always picks out things I love. And I love surprises! So win-win for me!
I would buy earrings!
I love this site! I really like Product ID: 184483 Silk batik shawl, 'Frangipani Floral'. It would make a perfect gift for a friend of mine.
I'd love to buy some earrings for my sister's Christmas present!
maybe I would find that little something I am looking for my nephew......
hope to win this one
I would buy the pearl drop earings. And a pink handbag.
Alpaca wool shoulder bag, 'Apple Blossom'
I would spend it on silver dangly earrings! My everyday pair just broke this week, so I need a replacement 🙂 Maybe the helix pair...
I would get one of the Christmas gourds. Looove them!
wow! I would definitely get this "Cotton Skirt- Thai Sands" http://clothing.novica.com/womens/skirts/cotton-skirt-thai-sands/154490/
It's so beautiful!
I love those pearl earrings you picked out! I also love Novica...it would take me forever to figure out what to spend $50 on!
Maybe this scarf! 🙂
http://accessories.novica.com/womens/scarves/cotton/cotton-scarf-bold-red-chic/168877/
Wow, there are so many beautiful gift ideas on this sight. There is definite possibilities for $50. I may have to reevaluate my list.
Wow! There are so many things to choose from! I would totally get a scarf for one of my sisters (one can't have too many scarfs) or a painting for one of my very bare walls. Thanks for the great opportunity!
So many possibilities. But the one that springs to mind, to be honest, is to free up $50 to buy cooked turkey or ham, so I could add a couple of "orphan" troops to my holiday dinner.
i would like to look at some earings!
I would love to buy earrings for my mom!
I could spend hours mindlessly browsing Novica's products!
But, I'd definitely purchase a piece of jewelry or one of the beautiful scarves as a gift to give. 🙂
There's so much stuff, I'm not sure what I'd buy. Probably either some earrings or a necklace.
That's funny. I just bought a pair of earrings from Novica yesterday as a Christmas present to one of my daughters. I'd love to buy my other daughter something from Novica also.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh, a lovely scarf. They're so pretty, and so nice for cold necks in the Chicago winter.
Yes, the gray scarf you highlighted would be really nice.
I am sponsoring a family from the school I work at. I am buying gifts for the entire family. A gift card would go a long way to help a needy family have a wonderful,blessed Christmas.
I would get the love knot cocktail ring.
I would buy this:
http://clothing.novica.com/womens/skirts/beaded-cotton-skirt-ebony-ruffles/166465/
🙂
I love the bracelet on the Novica front page. Would love to get that for my Mom. Have a great day!
I love the Helix earrings! I think I would go for those. They are simple, yet different. They look so nice on you!
I love their handbags but I would probably buy some jewelry for my mom for Christmas.
I would definitly buy a shawl..they are so beautiful
Wow the handbags are all amazing - if I won I would purchase the Buriti palm clutch --- so cute! Thanks for the opportunity!
I am in love with Gujarati wall hangings. I have 3 in my home currently, and I would LOVE to buy another one from these choices:
http://wall-hangings.novica.com/gujarati-wall-hangings-india/stzpricenn/
Brian and I adore NOVICA and have purchased quite a bit from them over the years (I have the same earrings that you do!!) 🙂
Oh, so many fun things....never heard of the organization before and am loving their handbags....fun!
I would buy anything from the West Africa collection for my sister. She and her husband are currently in language school and leave for West Africa next spring. They'll be gone another two years before they come home, but I know she'd love to decorate their new place with something like this. Then again, she could get it there a lot cheaper and no shipping! 🙂
Well, I have always wanted to buy a nice shawl and if I won I think I would choose this one http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=187381&rectype=1 or maybe some nice earings.
I would love to buy a pair of silver earings for my sister for Christmas. 🙂
I love the mottled black scarf. So pretty!
I love the Lapis lazuli dangle earrings, 'Blue Mystique'...
They are lovely and would look very nice with the outfit I am planning on wearing to my Holiday Party.
What a great company! I would love to buy the Ebony Ruffles scarf...so pretty!!!
I have three kids -- would love to add to their Christmas tree ornament collections.
I am in love with Leather and onyx pendant necklace, 'Origins'. So pretty!!
Wow there are so many beautiful things there! I am in a mad scarf phase right now and so I think I would buy this scarf
http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=175103&rectype=2
I love those earrings you have on! I would go for a pair of those and also something for my daughters!
I would dearly love some earrings I didn't own in high school!
I would love to get the Amethyst flower necklace, 'Sacred Lilac Lotus', it reminds me of my Yoga class and to slow down. Since I am always doing for others I would love to treat myself.
I would love some earrings or a handbag.
I'm torn between the Opal button earrings and Pearl and amethyst strand necklace, 'Tropical Elite'
I would have a very tough decision, if I do win.
What a generous giveaway -- thanks for the chance. While their jewelry is beautiful, I think I'd use the GC toward something that my whole family could use. I would purchase one of the two Mayan hammocks to replace our old one which fell apart. There are few things better in the summer than cuddling in the hammock with some of my kids and lots of our books. Thanks again!
I definitely am looking at getting a clock, regardless of whether I win this or not! (If I did win, I'd give the gift certificate to my mom, so SHE can buy a clock!).
The spare bedroom is turning into a feminine, french-style room, with artistic details here and there. THIS clock would look fabulous: http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=112736
Plus the artist sounds like an interesting fellow! 🙂
i'm loving the feather cascade earrings and the guatemala ocean scarf!
I love love love the beaded wristbands!...but it's difficult because so much is so beautiful.
I'd love earrings!
Awesome! I love Mohena wood mirror, 'Scarlet Flame'
I would get these trivets: http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=173335 I'd have to spend an extra $2, but they're pretty big, so they'd be useful for both trivets and cooling racks. I can always use more of those.
Ooh, I like the 'Maya Jade' Cotton Tote. And I like your earrings, it would be a tough choice. Thanks!
Ooo, really pretty stuff. If I won, I'd have a hard time deciding, but I would definitely get a gift for either my sis, or sister-in-law. I'm especially fond of the several shawls.
I'm loving the brown leather cuff bracelet. What fun. If I don't win, there's always http://www.tenthousandvillages.com--one of the oldest and largest fair trade organizations around. They've got some great deals going on right now too!
Some of the jewelry! I don't wear a lot, but I think my sister would love a pair of the earrings!
Hi Kristen: I went to the site and already found a beautiful alpaca ruffled scarf that is way out of my budget. $50 would go a long way! Thanks for offering this! And my daughter wants earrings just like yours. If we win, we could split the prize.
I would go for a necklace or a handbag. It would be hard to choose. Everything is so beautiful. I love reading about the artists it's so inspiring!
I would love to buy this adorable little laughing elephant necklace - just because it makes me smile!
http://jewelry.novica.com/necklaces/favorites/sterling-silver-pendant-necklace-laughing-elephant/184586/
I would get the pearl flower ring, "Love Moon"
I would buy earrings for me and my daughter. So many great choices.
So many beautiful things, hard to choose, probably the alpaca scarf. Sounds so warm and cozy for these cold winter days.
so many choices! these topaz earrings-http://jewelry.novica.com/earrings/favorites/blue-topaz-dangle-earrings-sublime/180423/ are speaking to me at the moment but if i won i'd have a very hard time choosing.
I looked at the Gifts under $30 tab and found some great items: a tunic, candle holders, earrings...I would probably buy 2 pairs of earrings, one for each daughter with the gift code.
I would love to get a necklace - I like the owl with garnet and amethyst (my birth stone).
i'd love to get that alpaca shawl that they're listing under the new items from the andes section.
Aluminum and wood bookends, 'Harlequin Super-Heroes' is what I would get.
I'd buy earrings. I just started working outside of the house again after being home for 5 years, so I could use some more dressy casual pieces.
I would buy earrings.
Thanks
There are several items on the top 59 gifts from Thailand that I'd love to have!
i've been looking for some pearl earrings for a while now and I think these Pearl dangle earrings fit the bill just fine.
I browsed through a lot of pearl earrings, but I think what sold me most was the designer and the story behind them: "My wife helps me a lot... when I think of something beautiful, I think about her. She means everything to me" As if those words wouldn't melt your heart, the designer,
whose name hints at a muslim faith states these earrings were inspired by a buddhist temple. With that kind of open and beautiful mentality, no wonder his creations are so lovely!
What a great giveaway! I love the "Paracas Fantasy" alpaca-blend blanket.
It would be difficult to choose, but I love the sterling pendant "Lovers"!
Hi Kristin,
I love the jewelry on Novica. My favourite is Carnelian floral earrings, 'Mystic Daisy'. Good luck to everyone.
I'd get a pretty jewelry box for my daughter-in-law. She likes exotic things and I know she would like one of the ones they have.
i'd use this to buy jewelry for my sis, mom and SIL, as i already plan to do that at 10,000 Villages. This would free up $50 in our budget to give to our churches campaign to dig water wells in Africa. Win for everyone!
I would love to buy ANY jewelry from this site. Super cute stuff!!! Thanks for the give-away.
Jen
I would absolutely buy the sterling silver "Elephant Roses" earrings for my sister who loves jewelry and collects elephants!
http://jewelry.novica.com/newarrivals/sterling-silver-flower-earrings-elephant-roses/181460/
I would buy the elephant necklace! It would be perfect for my mom!
I would buy the helix earrings for my grandmother.
I like the garnet dangle heart earrings 😉 🙂 Thanks for hosting the giveaway 🙂 Have a great day. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂
there are so many lovely things on the site. I think I would get earrings for my daughter who wants her ears pierced. I also liked a couple of the earring/necklace sets for me. Thanks for highlighting the site. Also for pointing out that frugal can be a guide and not an obsession. It is ok to spend sometimes and for the right reasons.
Definitely earrings, for my sister.
Thanks for this opportunity to win.
I would buy a handbag but I can't choose which one yet ! So many to choose from.
I have absolutely no idea what I'd spend it on, but since I'm not expecting to receive any Christmas gifts this year it would be so wonderful to be able to get myself a little something. And everything looks so nice!
I would love to get the Dichroic glass jewelry set in Green clover windows. It is beautiful
I love the daisy earrings. Thanks for offering this giveaway.
I would buy some earrings or a scarf for my sister in law for Christmas.
There are so many beautiful fair trade items on this site! Thanks for telling us about it! I would love to get the 'Amethyst and pearl drop earrings'.
I work at a zoo and have a toddler so the alpaca wool finger puppets would be perfect! Thanks.
I would have to buy the Pearl & Amethyst strand necklace as a gift for my mother. Amethyst is her favorite and since its a "tropical" necklace it seems appropriate since she used to live in Hawaii. As a frugal girl myself, I wouldn't be able to spend this kind of money for one gift without winning!!
I would get some earrings or a necklace for my sister for Christmas, and if I had anything left over, I would use that money towards a scarf for me.
So many absolutely beautiful things; a very tough choice. I think I would purchase the opal earrings for myself...but then again....
I would use this to buy some jewelry for Christmas gifts!
I love perusing their website; they have such wonderful things! I enjoy reading a bit about the artist or artisan on each item's page. If I won the gift certificate I would buy: http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=154724 for my husband. He and I love to play chess for a date night, and currently we go to a local sandwich shop and use their set (and order dinner, of course) because we don't have our own set. I'd love to have a handcrafted one that we can use and teach our kids on. 🙂
I would get this Pearl pendant necklace, 'Jaipur Magic Moon'
I can certainly see getting a lovely ruana for my mother, who is always cold. They do have lovely things. I saw nothing made in the USA. Did I miss them?
I'm thinking one of the wood elephants for my elephant-obsessed preschooler!
Everything is so cute...hard to choose one! Probably a silver cuff bracelet I luv 'em.
I would buy the pearl drop earrings "two full moons" I think they are just beautiful!
Not sure I can narrow it down to just one thing right now but I'm loving the scarves, earrings, and handbags. It would take me forever to make an actual purchase!
I would love to get a pair of these turquoise earrings for my mom: http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=170361
She loves turquoise jewelry!
I'm leaning toward the pearl drop earrings, since I've lost one of mine
I'd get the Recycled car seat shoulder bag, 'Jakarta Beige' I've been needing a new bag and not wanted to shop for one. This one looks good.
When you wrote about Novica last time, I got two gifts for friends. But if I win, this time I think I'll get something for myself - one of the handbags - I liked the one Cate mentioned and others too. And I saw something my daughter would like, or at least that I would like to give her!
There are so many beautiful things to choose from. I would use it to help purchase the Amethyst Choker called Lotus Lake.
I liked the Coins of the Kingdom bracelet and and the Hill Tribe Dreams bracelet. Normally I go for earrings, but something different would be nice. I suspect if I won I would get things for my two daughters.
One of those beautiful red scarves.
Awesome site. I love this necklace/choker... http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=160431&re=producta
Rose quartz and a heart charm. Thanks for the giveaway!
Any earings -my daughter wants some dangly ones. 🙂
I like the simple sterling earrings--Sea Vision is my favorite.
This ring is gorgeous! http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=183049&rectype=1
I LOVE those scarves and I've been wanting to get one for my mom for Christmas! Hope I win!
How sweet and generous of you to share your gift code! As a newlywed, still setting up a new home, I'd go with one of the amazing vases, centerpiece bowls or other great home decor.
Thanks for sharing.
I saw a pair if dangley silver earrings that I would love! I love reading about the folks who handmake these items. Makes the items seem more special.
Oh so hard to choose. Probably a scarf it is really cold here! But those earrings are tempting.
I would buy a set with earrings and a necklace for my daughter who asked for that for Christmas.....we could choose them together and learn about the craftspeople at the same time...great inspiration and education for my daughter and me!
I loved the jewelry, especially the earrings and brooches, as well as the handbags, but I was *charmed* by the small soda pop-top coin purse 'Hot Pink Confetti.' It would be a great gift.
Pearl pendant necklace, 'Sacred White Lotus'
is what I was looking at. It is beautiful.
The cotton scarf in "timeless purple." It's so pretty!
It would be such a hard decision with all the beautiful stuff their website offers, but I would probably use the gift certificate to buy earrings for my daughter.
Wow, there are so many beautiful earrings. I'd probably choose Misty Moon.
beautiful jewelry on the Novica website. If I won, I would love to get a pair of silver earrings. I keep losing earrings because I take them off and put them in my purse and never see them again. I like to have one pair that goes with everything. That way, when I am late in the morning, I can just throw on my trusty silver earrings. Susan
I love the Blueberries wool purse!
i like the intricate harmony earrings (http://jewelry.novica.com/earrings/modern-and-abstract/peridot-dangle-earrings-intricate-harmony/149602/)
I like their centerpieces for my dining table(the emerald bamboo lacquered bowl).
There are so many wonderful things on Novica it is hard to choose. I love the Blue Topaz Floral Necklace, but I would probably let my husband pick something out for himself!
I like the earrings that you have...and may get a pair for my sister too!
I've bought from them several times before but it has been awhile. They have such unique items. I like how they package them. I've received really nice homemade papers with leaves, etc in them that I just can't throw out. Nice contest, by the way. I would most likely buy myself some jewelry, especially since I've always purchased gifts and not for myself from them.
Oh it would be hard to choose, very pretty things! I'd probably get jewelry for a gift.
I would buy the solitaire ring, since my wedding ring is too big to be worn everyday, and this would suit me perfectly.
http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=163207
I would love to get those Helix earings you bought! I only buy jewelry I can wear with a lot of different outfits. Thanks!
I would love the memory earrings!!
I love the "color fest" belt! I also really love the Helix earrings you purchased.
The silver braided bracelet " hill tribe dreams" !!! Thank you for the giveaway...they have such gorgeous things. Have a blessed day!!
I would definitely choose a scarf - so pretty and so many to choose from! I think the one called "modern paisley" is my fave but there are so many close seconds. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
Oh wow I like so many things it hard to choose. But I love the scarves.
I think I'd have to pick out some jewelry for my wife. I love Novica.
I have had to carry a diaper bag around for the last nine years! Finally my youngest at three and a half is old enough that I don't have to lug around as much stuff. I am so excited to finally get to use a purse again! I would use the gift card to go toward a handbag. They have some nice ones! BTW, I used the same diaper bag for the last nine years and it is just now starting to show wear! Pretty good I'd say!
I too am in love with the grey scarf and think it would make a great gift
Wow! This is hard to decide. I think I'd get the 'Four Cardinal Directions' cross, or a similar one, for my husband.
I love this site and bought some tiger's eye earrings! The cool thing about this site is if you are first time customer you can get a code for $7 off an item. Also, they have a rewards program and I got an email saying that I had a $5.50 credit to be used by mid-January so, of course, I bought a tiger's eye necklace to match the earrings and got free shipping too!
Whoever get the gift certificate will have no problem finding something to buy from this site, and it's going for a good cause!!
I'd use it for a photograph- those are awesome!
Thanks for introducing me to such a wonderful site! I would love to win the gift certificate so that I could purchase a wool scarf (or a teaset - I really cannot decide at the moment.)
I think I would like to buy myself something pretty, not earrings, but I really like some of their purses.
Since I have been an adult, I have had precious few opportunities to buy myself something nice so I would totally do this.
Or I guess I could get something cute for my SIL who is the only family I have in this area. :/
I love the grey scarf!
Oh we get their catalogue shipped to our office and we love passing it around and oohing and ahhing over all the pretties. I know exactly what I would buy (though it took me a second to find it on the website). This elephant celedon condiment set. I love elephants and this color is just beautiful. It would be the perfect gift for my fellow-elephant-loving bff!
There's a BEAUTIFUL Andean throw blanket for just under $50, and the "garnet dangle earrings" are great too. It'd be really hard to decide if I won, but that wouldn't hold me back!
I would love to buy some jewelry for my mother! Such beautiful items they have!
I like the ones you got this summer. simple and elegant. I would get those.
They have some lovely serving trays, and I've been wanting one.
I love the Cotton scarf, 'Atitlan Bougainvillea' and Pearl dangle earrings, 'Destiny'. Thanks for the chance at winning the $50 gift code!
I really like those earrings you got this summer. And those scarfs!! Cute!
I'd buy a scarf for my mother-in-law, probably the Guatemala Gladiola style.
So cool! I loved the evening handbags!
http://jewelry.novica.com/bracelets/bangle/amethyst-wristband-bracelet-royal-orchid/133573/
I'd love to own this!
So many great earrings ... which to choose?
Mmm, I have to agree that gray scarf is beautiful!
I would put it towards one of their beautiful hammocks.
http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=108451
I would love to get this drum. I'm a piano teacher, and I'm trying to build a nice collection of instruments for my studio. Also would be tons of fun for my cherub choir!
I have some black earrings picked out!
I'd definitely go for some earrings! My collection is almost non existent and my ears can't tolerate "cheap" earrings.
I'd go for a necklace. I lost my favorite one a couple years ago, and have been looking for a replacement ever since (I'm really picky). This is the closest I've been able to find to my ideal: http://jewelry.novica.com/necklaces/favorites/iolite-cross-necklace-visionary/183107/
Thanks for the giveaway & for spotlighting a new (to me) business!
many beautiful things, but I would probably buy some earrings for my sister
I would buy the Garland Peral wrap bracelet and gift it to my sister for her upcoming wedding.
http://jewelry.novica.com/bracelets/wrap/pearl-wrap-bracelet-garland/89293/
I love the peridot flower earrings. They are my daughter's birth stone.
I would use the $50 code for the Alpaca blend scarf, 'Winter Sun'. It is only $23.99, so I might get two . . . one for me and one for a friend!
The first thing that caught my eye was the "Deal of the Day."
A turquoise colored elephant teapot....how cute! I love teapots, creamers and pitchers that are a bit eccentric.
Thank you Kristen! Looking at button earrings for my daughter. She'd love them for Christmas.
What a beautiful site. I'm not really a jewelry wearer, but they have some wonderful necklaces. That's what I'd spend $50 on.
I would use the code for the Wood sculpture, 'Motherhood'.
Tough choice...I would probably choose the Alpaca blend scarf, 'Winter Sun'...it is just beautiful!
Woww, what a cool giveaway 🙂
It's hard to choose, but I'd love a blanket like this
http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=159502
I like those Helix earrings you have. I would buy a pair for myself and another for a friend 🙂
I want the earrings you have!
Such a beautiful garnet ring, I love it! http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=146559
My dad brought home some wraps for my mother, sisters and I when he returned from a missions trip to India (his first). My mother loved them so much that I would love to buy her the green bracelet made in India to coordinate with her wrap or possibly something from Guatamala (HER 1st mission's trip) as a reminder of that experience. I know that it would be something dear to her heart. Thank you for sharing this site with us! I hadn't heard of it but am thrilled to be able to peruse what they have to offer (and read the bios about the artisans - my favorite part!) :o) Merry Christmas!
Great giveaway ! I love the silver dangle earrings called 'textures' handcrafted in Mexico.
i'd get a tapestry!
I love the Lolite and Peridot pendant necklace by Bhavesh, it has five stones with a heart. It would be a great gift for my mom who has five grand kids.
Thanks
I'd get the Pearl jewelry set, 'White Cloud': http://jewelry.novica.com/jewelry-sets/pearl/pearl-jewelry-set-white-cloud/135384/
Would love to buy earrings, I dont have many and this would be great.
Loving the variety of scarves.............those would make wonderful Christmas gifts.................
Wow, so generous of you to share this with us. If I won I would love a bold statement necklace. I'm a nurse practitioner and can't wear rings or bracelets (washing hands ALL DAY LONG, lol) and dangly earrings get caught up in my stethoscope (ouch!), so the way I can get dressed up is with bold necklaces (the thin ones get pulled on by the babies). Sooo, my pick would be the Tropical Elite amethyst and pearl necklace. I love, love, love purple and don't have anything like that. If I had anything left over, I would try to find a little owl something for my daughter 🙂
If I win the gift code, I would probably get either one of those really awesome wall hangings or some earrings for my mom 🙂
Their jewelry is beautiful, I would love to get my daughter a pair of the earrings for her birthday on Dec. 20,(she will be thirty tw0 and has never had pierced ears!) She is a teacher and mother of two little girls and I know she would love this gift and especially the connection with National Geographic!!
My husband and I have frugally bought christmas gifts for 12 of 13 people for about $150! The only person left is my mother in law and novica jewelry would be perfect! Here's hoping 🙂
I love the silver earrings!
I would buy some Christmas presents.... I'm way behind!
Wish I could get almost everything! But one thing I really liked is the Batik wall hanging, 'Aklowa by Night'
I would love to buy the lovely Pearl dangle earrings, 'Exotic' by Kenari. They are just so feminine and beautiful!
I would buy 2 sets of the wood bangle bracelets set of 3 for my girls. My huband is a wood workers and I love the idea of wooden jewelry.

I would get a bracelet to wear to work. I particularly like this pearl charm bracelet.

I would love to give my mother in law one of their scarfs. They are lovely.
I like the blue-rimmed wine goblets!
Love the Helix or Fascination earrings! There are so many beautiful things on the site though that would be great to have. Thanks!
I would buy the Wood statuette, 'My Heart and Yours' to give to my husband!
oh wow. this is a wonderful site. so much good and so much to choose. i think i would get something for my older daughter. i know she would appreciate the waterfalling batik scarf. there are so many beautiful earrings she would like too. thank you for the opportunity to receive such a nice gift.
Hi,
I like the Helix earrings you have and some others called Triangle - black and silver. The recycled zip bags are cute, too. Thanks for getting the coupons for today!
I would love to order some beautiful earrings that I found on their website.
I am a sucker for cotton scarves, so I'd probably end up getting 2 of them!! 🙂
I would buy a scarf.
Definitely these earrings: Pearl dangle earrings, 'Exotic'
Love them!
I had trouble getting the website to work. But, I really liked a lot of the earrings I saw. Wished I could have seen the scarves. 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Great jewelry! My sister would love a pair of earrings for Christmas.
This is bad, I am all over silver jewelry and had no idea what Novica was...I'm in love with it all but I would start with the 'Gentle Day' Pearl and Peridot ring by Buava...
I love the Bronze Goddess cuff bracelet.
Ooooooh, I really liked the "Quiet Sun" pearl earrings! 🙂
There is a beautiful garnet wrap ring I love.
Hmmm...so many good choices. The pearl earrings are pretty.
Ohh...I absolutely love this necklace: http://jewelry.novica.com/necklaces/favorites/y-necklace-floral-rain/171767/
It is gorgeous!
Love the earrings and bracelets, would love to have some new jewelry.
Sites like these rock my world. I also love 10 Thousand Villages. If I won, I'd purchase some combination of the list below as gifts.
Mens leather wristband bracelet
Wood spatulas 'Guatemalan Fry Up"
Wool scarf "Glorious"
Recycled car seat tablet sleeve, "jakarta Beige"
One of the Thai Beaded bracelets
I would buy a scarf because it can really spruce up an old outfit and make it feel all brand new .
Wow, I just visited the Novica website. I have been struggling with finding unique, well-made jewelry for my two older girls (both college age). I found earrings and a ring and several journals as well. The prices were good and I am happy to buy something that is supporting artists and not big corporations! I also used the two codes and saved an extra $15.00! Merry Christmas to me!
I would buy my sister something special for Christmas. She LOVES jewelry. Thank you for the opportunity 🙂
This is a great cause and the items are beautiful. I was looking at the Blue topaz flower necklace, 'Sacred Blue Lotus'ems . That would be nice to have.
ohhhhhh, i might want your earrings 🙂
There are many nice things, and the idea that I'm paying what is actually a fair price feels good. I like several of the necklace/earring sets, particularly those of dichroic glass (which I've never heard of before!). That's what I'd buy!
I really like A Lot of the earrings but I would probably choose the Gold plated dangle earrings, 'Tiga Surprise'. Something classic and they would go with everthing.
It's strange, I've been purging so many items from my house and life, and really trying to focus on what items I love and use, so it was actually hard to find something that I thought that I would actually use for myself. I really like these: Opal button earrings, 'Sweet Duchess', and I think I would actually wear them, too.
I'd love those helix earrings!
I would get some jewelry too. Maybe the sterling Bali Belle earrings.
I would like to purchase the Sterling Silver Flower Earrings "Fern Flowers."
I love the silver bracelets. Perfect for the office!
I could say I would buy something for myself, but in reality I will end up buying gifts for my family. Purses, scarves, and belts, oh my!!!! The choices are fantastic. Thanks for the giveaway.
If I could win the gift card code I would definitely get the pair of "firemen" statues for my mother. My mother is a firefighter and the bravest woman I know. She has been a firefighter for almost twenty years working at one of the largest fire stations in the United States. She works twice as hard as any man in her field proving a woman can do anything a man can do. I can't afford to get her the gifts she deserves most years because frugality is as much of a choice as a necessary way of life for me. Most of the time my stepdaughter and younger siblings take precedent with the holiday budgeting and my parents' presents end up being a nice home made card. I know she would love these pieces, they are a beautiful pair.

I love scarves and would love to win the gift certificate!

would love to get my husband the cufflinks!
I would love to get the Peruvian applique wall hanging called "Spring Day". It is beautiful! Thank you for entering me in the contest.
I really enjoy the 'blue dew' topaz floral necklace. Beautiful jewelery!

Thank you. I'd love to win
I'd get something for my MiL who is difficult to shope for.
An excellent option at christmas time
I love love love this site and have spent way too much time browsing all the categories. But I have to choose! I love their earrings. My favourite is the "Dream" pearl dangle earrings. So that is what I would get if I won (fingers crossed!).

Love the Floral Breeze dangle earrings!
Either the helix earrings for my daughter or the gray scarf for myself.
I would buy the beautiful P 'Lilac Odyssey' Pearl drop earrings!
I would love to get the Blue chalcedony dangle earrings.
I love earrings. I like the "climbing vines" chandeliers and the garnet drops called, "little daisies". Either one would be fun to buy. I haven't gotten myself earrings in a very long time.
Those silver drop earrings are calling my name!
I am a fan of Novica as well. Please consider me for the give-away.
Thanks,
Amy D.
They have so many fabulous home decor items, so I would probably get one of the fantastic wood vases. Either that, or a pair of pearl earrings for the last person on my Christmas list!
Pearl and chalcedony beaded bracelet, 'Island Paradise' - so pretty. Really like this site!
Definately one of the opal rings. They are beautiful!
I love this amethyst bracelet: http://jewelry.novica.com/bracelets/favorites/amethyst-wrap-bracelet-lilac-bouquet/89296/!
I love alot of things on there site, but I would probably buy some earrings
I love the simple elegance of these pearl earrings. Beautiful! http://jewelry.novica.com/pearl/pearl-dangle-earrings-destiny/183085/
I desperately need a new purse. These are my finalists:
http://handbags.novica.com/under-$50/cotton-tote-maya-jade/171860/
http://handbags.novica.com/under-$50/cotton-shoulder-bag-crimson-sonnet/172731/
http://handbags.novica.com/under-$50/cotton-batik-shoulder-bag-balinese-enchantment/163889/
I desperately need a new purse since mine has multiple tiny rips. I have my eye on three different ones. Why must I be so indecisive?
A bracelet for my Mom. She is the onyl one left on my list and while I'm making her a few other things too, a bracelet would be perfect.
292 comments!!! I wonder if you'll even have a chance to read mine. Thank you for the giveaway! I have hope that I'll win. I looked at the Novica website for a little while and I really like one of the pair of earings that you got "Pearl dangle earrings" they look so different, feminine, and pretty! I live in an RV, so I can't own much since the space here is very reduced, BUT I can always find room for a pair of earings. Anyway, right now I only have two pairs. ha! So, these pearl dangle earrings will be worn very very often. Then I can walk out of my RV and look all pretty and feminine. Thanks for the opporunity to win!
I would like a tablecloth- although not sure how I would ever pick!
I would like to be able to get my mother some jewelry for Christmas, she really has no one else to buy it for her.
Well I wish you luck reading all the comments being so many lol. It's a lovely site though can't deny i'm not one to crave jewelry or many things on there being a college guy I suppose lol. I would probably give the gift card to my mother, I am sure she would like it. I have been meaning to comment on this blog, I have to thank you for keeping it up as I love keeping of with cooking especially bread. Thanks
Ulysses
First of all, I LOVE the Helix earings and my ears are VERY sensitive (the holes start burning if I wear cheap earrings with no clear coat covering the metal) So i would FOR SURE get a pair of those. With the other half of the card I would buy my mom the Lapis lazuli beaded bracelet in Sea Song. It is totally her style and she would love it.
I would love to buy a special present for my hubby. He works very hard to support our family, & usually goes without things for himself..... 🙂
I think I'd go for the jewelry.
I would love the Garnet ring, 'life force of peace', so beautiful.
There are so many beautiful things - how does one choose? I think I would select the sterling silver prayer box pendant.
Thank you for this great give-a-way.
i think i'd get a game to play with my family after our meal :O)
I would love to buy these Pearl Dangle earrings: http://jewelry.novica.com/earrings/dangle/pearl-dangle-earrings-white-forest/139068/ !
They also have so many pieces that would be great gifts for my mom and three sisters!
It would be so fun to get my mom some earrings, they were on her Christmas list!
I would buy earrings for my daughter. She would love any of the ones they have they are beautiful.
I think either earrings or a skirt, so many things to choose from!
I love the peridot "cool daisy" earrings! Wow...they are beautiful! However, I must admit that there is more than one thing I would like to add to my collection. Thank you for sharing this site. I'm going to check it out more! 🙂
Oh my goodness, your earrings are just what I was trying to describe to my husband for my wish list. LOVE.
I would love to buy jewelry for my sisters for Christmas! : )
I would get the Moonstone chandelier "goddess" earrings.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
I would love to say I'd buy for someone else but love those table linens!
I would get myself a nice pair of silver earrings. I just lost one of my favorite pair I wear every day, so sad. I like the ones you are modeling!
I love the helix earrings!
