The Greatest Novica Giveaway Ever

No Gravatar

******CONTEST HAS ENDED!!!******

*Disclosure: I received a gift certificate code to shop at Novica in exchange of a review and hosting the giveaway. Receiving the gift certificate does not sway my review in any way.*

I was asked by the lovely people at Novica to review their site and host an amazing giveaway. Novica is in association with National Geographic and works to unite artists from around the world to buyers who are looking for unique handcrafted items. From their website:

“We want to give artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity. And, we want to provide you with access to unique, hard-to-find items at great values that only the Internet infrastructure can allow.

At the deepest essence of our philosophy, we want to create a bridge between you and the many talented artisans across the globe.

We want you to know about who you’re buying from. We want you to feel that attachment to the product and to the hands that created it.

In the spirit of the Internet, let us bring you together.

NOVICA. The World is Your Market.”

One of the most amazing things about the site is that they have created a social forum to unite the artists with the buyers. You have the ability to really network and connect with an artist from across the globe and they have the ability to develop a personal relationship with their buyers. I think it’s simply a wonderful use of social media.

Buying from them is easy, once you figure out what you will get. I spent four days perusing and trying to narrow down what it was I was going to purchase. There are so many beautiful and wonderful items available, it is very difficult for one to narrow it down. I finally was able to settle on a pair of earrings.

And as a family gift to us all (aka a great homeschooling tool) I got us a drum.

Shopping was a breeze. I had a slight problem with my debit card and called Customer Service. They were extremely nice, patient, and helpful. The problem itself ended up being something on my end and only discovered that through their help. One thing to note about the use of a debit card on their site; there is the initial charge taken out of your account, it is put back into your account, and then taken back out once the item ships to you. It’s a precautionary measure to ensure the funds are available.

Now for the part I know that you all are waiting for. I am going to give one lucky reader a $75 gift certificate! Here is how you enter:

1. Blog about this giveaway including a link to this post,  put your post link in a separate comment and you will get 10 entries.  Be sure to encourage your readers to let me know that they came from your blog and you will get an extra 2 entries per referral in addition to your 10.

2. Tweet “I just entered to win $75 to go shopping http://bit.ly/aRaEZI  @PaganMomBlog” ONLY ONCE PER DAY and receive 5 extra entries. Any multiple tweets in a single day will not count.

    My must have item is the Wood and sterling silver pendant necklace called ‘Balance’ or the Sterling silver pendant necklace called ‘Sails’. The latter one matches the earrings that I recently bought from them. I just love Novica!!

    I love the concept behind NOVICA. So many unique and beautiful items to be found there, one of my favorites is the “Love of Nature” ring made of wood and silver. Ok, so it’s a dudes ring, but I would totally wear it :) It’s gorgeous! Thanks so much for the chance to win this!
