Recently, I was contacted by a NOVIA about doing a review and giveaway for them. NOVICA is one of the leading fair trade artisan websites. They 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. Specifically, they offer a wide variety of unique, green, fair trade corporate gifts. They also promote microfinance to help talented artisans grow.
Fair trade and talented artisans is a win-win combo to me, so this was a no-brainer to accept. I have a little problem, however, that I need your help with. I cannot decide what to review! In short, the artists are simply too talented and I love them all!
For instance, what about this Murano glass vase?
Or what about this exquisite silver cuff bracelet?
Decisions, Decisions! Their corporate gifts are amazing!
Giveaway Rules: In a single comment go to Novica's corporate gift section and tell me what I should review. Do not worry about the cost, but do tell me why I should review this particular item. In addition, please leave your email in your comment.
Also for this giveaway, you must follow Metroreader to enter.
One entry person with a maximum of two entries per household and every entrant must be a follower.
Good news for my international followers this giveaway is probably open to you too. Check here to see if NOVICA ships to your country.
Lastly, No PO Boxes as NOVICA is unable to ship to these addresses.
Have fun and good luck! Giveaway ends 10/31/10.

What a great giveaway. If I were you, I'd review the Wool handbag, 'Cool Horizons' because I think it's so cute and would go well with jeans.

This briefcase would be great for a man or woman and is something most business people could use. The price is also really great too.

ReplyDeleteI think the Saa paper notebooks, 'Green on Cream'set would make a perfect corporate gift. I would have loved to have a gift that would have been useful when I was working outside the home. You can only use so many lucite paper weights. Charlotte

ReplyDeleteI really love the leather briefcase "practical". My own bag recently broke and you really take for granted having a good bag to bring to work that can be both professional and reliable. I think this would make an excellent and useful corporate gift for someone.

You should review the Modern Blue Volcano Vase. I am curious to know why something that appears to be so beautiful is on sale for about 18 percent of it's former price. Does it have a flaw that is not immediately apparent or is it a fantastic deal?
ReplyDeletemomznite_at_yahoo_daught_com
I like the Soapstone jewelry box, 'Nautilus'. I'd want to know if it's really as amazingly detailed in person as it seems to be in the picture.
