Novica Review (How I found a unique present for my brother’s wedding)

Have you ever really been stuck on what to get someone for a wedding present?

The couple already has everything. Plus you get to their registry late and most of their requests are filled.

This is what happened to me when I was trying to find a present for my brother’s wedding.  I wanted to find some unique gifts. So, I was interested when I was contacted by Novica to check out their corporate gifts.

I had seen mention of the website a few times, so I thought I would check it out…even if I wasn’t even quite sure what qualifies as a corporate gift.  If you have never heard of them before, here is what they are about:
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.

As it turned out, there were so many different gifts that it was hard to pick. I have to admit that I thought about buying myself one of their gorgeous hammocks. I had images of lazing in a hammock, reading a book, with a drink in my hand….and then reality hit, and I realized that no one was going to let me laze around in a hammock, so I went back to the wedding gift search!

I found this ‘Sangria Afternoon’ pitcher on sale for $34.95. Because it’s handcrafted, there are some slight variations in each one. I liked the “innovative ice deposit to keep drinks cool.”

To go with the pitcher, I found this set of wine goblets on sale for $47.99. Again, very unique, hand-blown glass.  These are not only pretty, but very solid, too.

I figured that for a couple who already has all the basics and who loves to entertain, I really couldn’t go wrong with these gifts!  Plus, I love the idea of buying them something that they couldn’t just go out and find in the mall.

Though, between all their green gifts and fair trade corporate gifts, I could spend hours on the Novica site. And find lots of things that I wanted for me, too!

If you are looking for a unique gift, check them out! I was extremely pleased with the quality of the items…and by how securely they were packaged. All that glass being shipped from so far away had me nervous, but they arrived looking beautiful!

I was provided with a gift code to shop on Novica in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. And yes, I’m telling you that I used a gift code to buy my brother’s wedding present. Sometimes you just have to do what you gotta do. 😉
