Last month, a fair trade home decor and more retailer called Novica approached me and asked that I review their new website on my blog. When I agreed to, they graciously offered a $75 gift certificate to one of my readers! How lucky for you guys!
Novica is a fair-trade online retailer, in a partnership with National Geographic, that supports artisians around the world. They offer lots of unique goodies in the form of home decor, jewelry, art, furniture, and clothing. They even have really neat musical instruments! I really like how they provide biographical information on each of their artists, thereby facilitating a real connection with the products; for fair trade items, that’s really fitting and very neat.
Here are my top five picks for “home” from Novica. Each items is unique and lovely:
1.) Vase 2.) Basket 3.) Table 4.) Mirror 5.) Painting
They offer a wide range of price points, which makes Novica a fun place to shop even for those on a budget. For example, the rattan basket is under $60 while the painting is over $450. I scored this lamp for about $85 (notice it from the sneak-peek last week?):

I love fair trade decor. In fact, we have a wondeful piece of tin artwork from Haiti that we got from Seven Hopes United (another Fair Trade retailer). I’d love to use this gift certificate to find some pieces for my newly-painted dining room.
Love #4 and #5!!! Would love to win this to help furnish my new place.
