NOVICA. The World is Your Market.

They have all kinds of things you may be looking for from Womens Robes to  Sterling Silver Filigree Earrings and don't forget  a Gift For Dad. 
Here are some of the lovely items that Novica has available:

Chess set from India

Elephant Vase from Thailand

Clock from the Andies

And so many many other great items, I had a hard time choosing. I finally decided I would review this:

Cotton blouse, 'Rose Thai' from Thailand

 

My Review:

I love the idea of buying items from all around the world in one place.

What can I say about the shirt I received from Novica? One word says it all beautiful!

This shirt is very well made, it is a quality shirt.  This will be a great shirt for vacationing, it is very light weight, and will be easy to pack, and it will be great for the heat of the upcoming summer months. I love that this shirt comes right from the country it is made from. 

The items you purchase from Novica also come with a hand written note from the maker, it was so nice to have a little thank you for the purchase in English and in Taiwanese.  You would think ordering something directly from overseas it would take forever to arrive, this is not true! I was able to take advantage of the free shipping (free shipping is available on many items, and others have low shipping specials as well) and my shirt came in a little over a week! That is amazing. I have had things take 2 weeks coming from a state over, that is the truth!

So I am quite impressed with Novica, a great selection of quality merchandise, some with free shipping. And the shipping is fast, who could ask for more?
