Charitable Gift Giving

To celebrate Earth Day 2010, Novica is having a sale letting you take 10% off all eco-friendly gifts!.

If you don’t know what Novica is, it’s an organization that, in association with National Geographic, sells hand-crafted gifts created from developing areas all over the world. In a world where more and more things are produced with machines or mass produced with cheap labor (on most trips lately, I am shocked to find out that 90% of the souvenirs in any given area are made in China!), it’s a breath of fresh air to get handmade items from artisans in the actual areas where the art originated.

And of course, Novica helps people in developing areas make a living for themselves, their families, and their communities.

With this sale, Novica is featuring sustainable, natural, recycled, or reclaimed items. Every gift not only has a story, it helps the planet.
