We’ve done it twice before, and we’re doing it again: Every time I offer up a chance to win a little shopping spree to NOVICA, everyone gets very excited. And why not? In association with the folks behind National Geographic, NOVICA is pretty much the place to find beautiful artisan gifts from all over the world, and they’re always Fair Trade and eco-friendly, so you can feel warm and fuzzy about whatever you’re buying.
The winner of this contest will get a $50 gift code to NOVICA spend however they please, but I’ve been asked to point out a few specific categories for this one, namely Women’s Accessories, Men’s Accessories, and Wool Scarves; any of these would be a great place to start when looking for a gift.
Anyway. Want to win it? Of course you do! First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, December 1st, 2011 to be entered. Winner to be determined by my random number picker thingie (technical term), and freaking out about the fact that Thursday is December already will not increase your chances of willing, but will make me feel less alone.
Ready? Go!
They have some great gifts- thanks!!
Have I told you how pretty you are?? 🙂
I love Novica items! I bought a necklace from them a few months back, and it is simply gorgeous.
Enter me, please.
Ooh, I love looking at Novica! They have the prettiest things.
I’m trying to feel like a winner these days!
Pick me, random number picker thingie!
And thanks, Mir!
Pretty!
Thursday is December! Yet strangely enough my chocolate advent calendar is registering December fourth already…. 😉
Ah, to find a nice gift for the Pretty in my life 🙂
A low number has just as much of a chance as a high number, right? Would love to win!
I refuse to believe that Thursday is December. I’m still having trouble with it being November!
What a great giveaway!
I will be more than happy to freak out with you over the time left for shopping!!!
Pretty pretty plz!! Thanks Mir 🙂
Free trade is so pretty!
December?? What happened to October?
Do you know where you hid your Lego Advent Calendar?
Ooh, me! So many nice things they have that would make great gifts!
Sweetness!
Still trying to win one of these contests…. 🙂
Love Novica! Such pretty stuff. It almost makes me feel better about the fact that Xmas is right around the corner!!!! How did that happen?
What fun; thank you for the opportunity, Mir! I love looking at Novica. I can’t believe it’s almost December!
December!?? Aaaack!
Love this prize….and all your awesome updates!!

Awesome. And agreed on December. I was just in a meeting planning for a meeting on December 5, when I freaked out that 12/5 is only one week from today. Say it isn’t so.

Yeah! Another chance to win a Novica gift card. There things are sooo pretty. I suppose, given the time of year, that I have to use it to buy Christmas gifts. Hmph. Maybe 50/50 split?…
I would love to win this.
this has nothing to do with the contest,so I’ll just use this time to complain about the Amazon cyber monday sales. They are just lackluster this year, or maybe it’s just me and my Grinchness (totally a word)
Too cool Mir. Thanks for opportunity, you are so pretty.
what an awesome week this has been. thanks!
I’ll throw my hat in this ring!
so many pretty things!
Count me in!
Oooooh, pretty things! What a great idea!

Please pick me!
Love Novica!
I’m in! I love unique gifts, and I love making a difference.
It was 72 here in NJ today, so I am in total denial that December is almost here. This morning felt like spring! Oh, and I’d love to win to pick out something for our family room!

Cool prize!
Thursday my oldest turns 14! 14? I don’t feel like a responsible adult, how is it possible I have a 14 year-old child?!
Anyway, he is not getting anything from NOVICA if I win.
Thanks Mir!
