$150 Holiday Giveaway

Giveaway Now Closed

The two winners of the Novica gift certificates have been chosen. Each of the 270 comments in the drawing received a sequential number at the time it was posted. The winners were chosen by a random number generator which selected the numbers 229 and 71. Congratulations to Aisling and Discovery Woman. I will be contacting you soon.

I tend to shy away from giveaways. To be honest, I'm not always comfortable with them, but this holiday season I was approached by a representative from the Corporate Gifts Department of NOVICA, a website associated with National Geographic that gives artisans from around the world a place where their talents can be showcased and sold. I took a really careful look at their catalogs and based on what I saw, accepted their offer, which makes it possible for me to pass on a $75 gift certificate to two of you. If you would like to participate in the drawing, please let me know by way of a comment placed here before midnight on December 15th. Tell me which gift or gifts you'd be likely to select if you are chosen to receive one of the gift certificates. Please remember that most of these gifts tell a story, support a cause or have a purpose. Your selection directly affects the life of the artisan who fashioned it and in many cases helps to keep native craft traditions alive. The various categories from which the gifts can be chosen appear below. Just click on the links to browse through what's available in each of the sections. I will announce the winner on December 16th. That's all there is to it. Good luck!

  169. I love shopping at sites like this! It's so important that we support these artists! I have always wanted a Pashmina so that is probably what I would choose! Thanks so much!

  170. NOVICA?! It's like meet up with an old friend. I bought silver bracelet and Balinese painting from Bali and Java artisan as gifts. My mom in law and sister in law love it and amaze with the gifts box they sent. It's an artistic touch indeed.

    Thank you for reconsider NOVICA Mary, not only they have beautiful product but also good deed for local artisan all over the world. I really need (cross body/messenger) bag and love bags made by Eduardo Alcala (Mexico) or Nanan (Java). Waiting for your next post Mary, cheers' Nomads Cooking
