Novica and a surprise at the end of this post.

 Have you heard of Novica?

Don't worry, if you answered no, you're in good company, 

with yours truly. 

Until recently, I hadn't either. 

Novica is a fair trade artisan website, partnered with National Geographic to

bring the artistic talents of artists from around the world to you 

through the internet, because not everyone is fortunate enough

to have their own Artist at home. 

 I've browsed through their site, and browsed and browsed 

and browsed a whole lot more. And then the male twin browsed, he loves the men's rings.

This place is bursting at the seams with unique and creative items.

Their site is uber-organized, so if you looking for a gift for your best friend,

an eco-friendly gift or even a corporate gift, they've made searching

for whatever you need, fast and simple.

And while supporting a local economy is important to me, 

supporting fair trade is also very near and dear to my heart.

In fact, I would highly recommend checking out how they are helping artisans

through their micro-finance  assistance. By assisting in financing an interest free loan,'

you are helping an artisan with expensive start up business costs or perhaps to help

them build up their stock.

 And to help spread the word about this supportive, fair trade site, and with the generosity of Novica,

I am delighted to offer a giveaway for a gift certificate from Novica for $75.

So here's the sweet and lowdown on the giveaway. 

I dare you to visit Novica and leave me a comment telling me what your favourite item is.

If you're a follower and you leave a comment, you will automatically be entered a second time.

Blog about this giveaway and I'll give you a third shot, just be sure to let me know.

And to make it fair, because once you visit Novica I probably won't hear from you for days,

I'll leave this giveaway open until March 19th midnight.

Have fun browsing!

The photos above are some of my favourites.

(and as I preview this post...it really is a coincidence that they're all green-ish!)
