If you love to purchase handmade items crafted by global artisans (or if you just like cool jewelry, items for your home etc…), be sure to check out NOVICA, an awesome website that gives artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents.
We benefit too, because as consumers we are given access to unique, hard-to-find items at great prices! NOVICA wants you to feel an attachment to the product you’re buying and the hands that made it. They don’t charge artists for posting items on their website and the artists remain fully independent.
With Father’s Day coming up, check out some of the amazing things they have. There were so many items on the NOVICA site that caught my eye, but I ended up settling on this hammock. As I mentioned in a previous post, we are moving this summer and there are two trees in our new backyard in desperate need of a hammock. I’m hoping that after all of the work we have been doing lately to prepare for the move that we will have plenty of time to relax on it come fall. :-)
For the next week NOVICA is also offering FREE shipping on most items! I paid $2.99 shipping for my hammock, still a great deal!
NOVICA recently started a home based business company called NOVICA Live. If you have been looking for a business where the market isn’t saturated this is your opportunity to start very early! It’s a really neat idea; you bring a in-home travel experience to each party as guests learn about the countries and artisans that are making the products. You’ll earn commissions of 20-30% or more as you advance, plus they have fun trips every year to go and meet the artisans and visit areas that NOVICA is working with (this year it’s an all expenses paid trip to Bali).
1 lucky Stretching a Buck winner will win $100 credit to NOVICA!
What am I giving away?
1 winner will receive a $100 credit to shop NOVICA
