Fair trade gifts with a bow on top! Novica giveaway!

What's better than giving a gift that is handmade by someone in another country where you know they are being paid a fair wage for their handiwork? How about an already wrapped gift that is handmade by someone in another country where you know they are being paid a fair wage for their handiwork? 

Novica supports the fair trade marketplace by selling handmade goods, so far sending over $46 million to artisans around the world. Associated with National Geographic, Novica has a reputation for selling the finest fair trade goods available. 

And now, if you order gifts from artisans in Bali, Thailand, or India, you can choose to have them gift wrapped. But this isn't your ordinary gift wrap -- this is the kind of gift wrap that will wow your recipients! Because each hand wrapped gift used handmade elements, carefully crafted ribbons, brass plates, etc. See for yourself here.

I have to admit, there is something gratifying about spending money supporting these artisans. It sure beats running over to Walmart and feeding that hungry giant!

Novica was gracious enough to send me a gift code so I could order a gift or two and see for myself the fabulous gift wrapping. I chose a product from Thailand and received this lovely note with my gift:

And here is a picture of the simply, yet beautifully wrapped gift someone on my Christmas list will be receiving this year:
