Mother's Day Extravaganza! Novica Review & $50 GC Giveaway




I have done over 1000 reviews in the last year and a half, but one company is still my favorite. I have gone back to Novica again and again and bought lots of gifts for family and friends. So I was thrilled to be able to include them in our Mother's Day Extravaganza. I was given a $50 Gift certificate to facilitate my review and the first thing I picked out were the amazing pearl and citrine water fall earrings. They are made with natural stones and are as elegant as they are delicate. At only $15.99, they are an affordable gift that is perfect for mom's, grandmother's, aunts or friends. They are stylish enough to wear on a night on the town, but would like just as nice with a casual pair of jeans.






In addition to Mother's Day Gifts, there are lots of choices for father's too. My husband is a collector of musical instruments from around the world and I have bought his gifts from Novica for every occasion since I discovered them. This Father's Day, he will be receiving the beautiful  Bamboo rain stick, 'Peruvian Shower'. Not only does this hand crafted item produce and amazing sound, its also a beautiful work of art. It is covered with intricate designs and even came with a hand sown Cuzco-style cloth carrying case. It was another amazing deal at only $30.99.




The rain stick and lovely earrings are only two of  hundreds of beautiful items you can find at Novica for all your special occasions. They have an elegant jewelry collection, home decor, and sculptures to name only a few things. Novica has united over 2000 master artists from around the world, bringing you an extensive collection of fine art in just one website. Their items are original and unique and something anyone would be proud to have on display in their homes. For more great ideas for Mother's Day gift ideas from Novica, be sure to check out Rita's review and giveaway over at One2Try.




Novica was generous enough to send me another $50 gift code to give away to one of the readers in honor of Mother's Day.
