Novica(3% cashback) is offering free shipping on almost everything on the site, with no minimum purchase! They don't do this often, but I love it when they do!
Novica sells jewelry, clothing and accessories, and home decor made by real artisans in countries all over the world! When your order arrives, it comes specially packaged and with a handwritten note from the craftsman him/herself! Novica items are unique — not like department store products. And their prices are VERY reasonable — especially with free shipping!
Look at the detail in these Playful Farm Animals finger puppets! They're made of wool, and the set of five (the lamp, bunny, puppy, horse, and pig) is just $19.99 shipped — with free gift wrap! There's another animal puppet set by the same designer, too (search for Gifts for Puppeteers) with a turtle, lion, monkey and its baby, giraffe, and a duck with baby duckling.
I love flowers and would LOVE to get this set of 6 Cheerful Daisies Beaded Coasters as a gift — just $26.99 shipped! The coasters have velvet backs to protect your table and are covered with bright, shiny beads, and they come in an elegant drawstring pouch.
And you know, one of the really neat things about Novica's website is that once you find a craftsman that you especially like, you can see their picture and bio, read their story in their own words, and you can see all of the different products they have available for purchase on Novica!
My husband plays chess, and he insisted on teaching our kids how to play because the strategic thought process that goes into playing the game well is something that can serve them in other areas of their lives as they get older. Novica sells a variety of chess sets in wood and marble — this nice, medium-sized wood one (search for Winning Strategy) is just $24.95 shipped! The pieces have magnets inside so the set can be used in the car, and the board folds into a storage box lined with velvet to protect the pieces inside.
If you know someone who collects, for instance, items decorated with cats, butterflies, elephants, fleur-de-lis, crosses, etc. — you can be sure that they won't already have one just like the ones they sell on Novica!
I can't say enough good things about this website. I love it. It's one of my favorites. And the note that comes from the craftsman along with the product is, to me, a big part of the gift. It makes it personal and special, unlike the pre-fab stuff you see in stores. I don't know how long the free shipping offer lasts — this is a great time, and a great store, to knock a few gifts off your shopping list early!
