Exotic Items from Faraway Lands
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Novica Home is like stepping into an international bazaar of furnishings; full of color and life. Run in association with National Geographic, the website features the work of artists from around our glorious globe. From fabulous furniture and area rugs to intricate tapestries and mirrors, you will surely discover treasures that will add international zest to your interiors. The website is easy to navigate and you can search by item, region (Andes, Bali/Java, Brazil, India, Mexico, Thailand & West Africa) or gift theme. The artists also share their background and artistic vision, which forges a unique connection.

Since the items come from far and wide, they provide you with shipping details and lead times. They also have a category of “fast shipping” gifts if you are in a rush. The items I have received are well packed and arrive with a card that tells me about the artist and their creation, which adds a really nice touch. You will instantly connect with artists that will be grateful for your business while you add unique items to your home that are handmade with pride and creativity.
