2020 Airplanes and Dragonflies - Christmas Gift Guide! - Novica Product Review and Giveaway! (Worldwide) Ends 12/10 #HolidayGiftGuide #GiftGuide

Novica helps artists from outside of the USA to sell their beautiful, well made, goods. They feature over $105.5 million sent to artisans so far! From jewelry to scarves, clothing to home decor and more, Novica is a great website to purchase unique gifts for your friends and family. I'd rather receive something from Novica for Christmas this year, then another gift card to some where that I never purchase things from.

Navy Blue Rainbow Stripe Cambaya Cloth Lined Face Masks, "Night Sky Rainbow"

Printed Face Mask and Headband Set from India, "Mesmerize"

With Covid going on, Novica also has has some beautiful face coverings for sale! I know, we all hate them! I know, that we'd all rather not wear them, believe me. But, we need to make sure that we have them on hand at all times.

There was a GREAT series on Netflix this fall about a fantastic female Chess player! Something tells me that your friends and family wouldn't mind receiving a beautiful Chess, Chinese Checkers, Dominoes, Mancala, or another wood (or other material) board game for the holidays!

 

I ordered and reviewed a beautiful Agate and lava stone beaded stretch bracelet, 'Quiet Volcano' and some fingerless mitts, 'Andean Sunrise' made of 100% alpaca. The bracelet isn't too big or too small, it fits perfectly and comfortably, not rough or too smooth. I love the colors! When I put it on, I instantly felt this energy from it. I have been feeling angry about losing my father in law and my father having stage four brain cancer. Chances are, my father will pass away sometime in December or January. He decided to forgo any life saving measures, chemo, etc. This bracelet has helped me feel more grounded and in control.

Details about the Agate and Lava Stone Beaded Stretch Bracelet: Inspired by the remnants of a sleeping volcano, Sang Ayu Sardiwati of Bhakti Senang Hati association crafts this striking bracelet. Lava stone and brown agate beads are skillfully strung to create a stretch bracelet. Lava stone is known in Indonesian culture to dissipate anger and to strengthen one's connection to Mother Earth.

Sang Ayu Sardiwati joined the foundation after obtaining a prosthetic leg as a result of a working accident when she was an adolescent. She uses her handcrafting skills as a therapeutic means of providing for her family.

The Fingerless Mitts are made of 100% alpaca! They are super soft, warm and comfortable. I am on my laptop and cell phone a lot. I also drive my kids to and from school, for now. As traveling back and forth to southern CA has been a must this year, so I'm not currently working, for now. Having warm wrists and fingers is a must. They were made in Peru!

Morning sunrise over Andean fields inspire the fresh new design of these alpaca wool long sleeve fingerless mitts. Fernando Cano creates vibrant patterns as he knits the mittens in shades of blue, orange, green and yellow. Alpaca wool has been prized in the Andean region for centuries thanks to its warm and lightweight fleece.

Check out Novica.com for ALL of your Holiday Gifts this year! Your family will be so happy with their gifts that you purchased for them. You can't buy these in stores either! You can also choose from which Region you want to purchase items from, or from which causes, from someone who has had Cancer, Adversity, and more!
