About NOVICA:

NOVICA is one of the leading fair trade artisan websites. We work with National Geographic to give talented artisans around the world a place to express their artistic talents and provide access to the world market. We have thousands of top fair trade corporate gifts and home decor items on our website.

NOVICA  has the largest online collection of handcrafted fair trade corporate gifts, including items for client gifts, conference gifts, sales incentives, employee recognition and awards. If you're looking for a corporate gift for your boss then NOVICA is a great place to look.  Their corporate gifts section is divided into 13 different categories to make shopping easy. The have it all from desk accessories to travel bags to personal gifts.  I love how easy their website is to navigate, and how unique their gifts are.

The items I picked for my review were made in Thailand, and yes the actually CAME all the way from Thailand. I placed my order on April 5th and it arrived on my doorstep on the 15th. I couldn't believe how quick it arrived coming clear from another country.

This is how each of my packages came all wrapped just like a little present.  We really enjoyed opening them up together and discovering our little treats.

I don't know if you can tell or not by the picture, but the packages were wrapped in homemade paper. It was so cool, I actually smoothed out each piece and kept them.  This paper would be great paired with some of their green gifts too.

One of the items I got was the Cotton cosmetic bag and purse, 'Lahu Vision' (pair). They were so soft and beautiful.  I got this set for my daughter and she loved them. I thought it was really neat how they came with an artisan story card that told about the set and the artist.

The other item I got was a Cotton sling tote bag, 'Nutmeg Meadow'.  I love this bag. It has a nice long strap, interior pocket, and wonderful detail. I still can't believe these came all the way from Thailand.

NOVICA also has a program where they offer loans to microfinance to help the local artisans be able to purchase the goods they need to make these beautiful and unique items. And if you're interested in selling NOVICA products you can check out Novica Live.
