Have Sippy Will Travel- and you can, too! Even from the comfort of your own living room, you can choose fabulous artisan crafts and pieces from all over the world and have them delivered to your doorstep. I love to decorate my home with things I find on my travels- but even if you are not a world traveler, you can fake the funk with Novica, in association with National Geographic.
Add some culture to your rooms, wardrobe, or accessories with the fun finds at Novica. There is a broad range of artisan quality, unique, and beautiful jewelry that you will just adore. Check out the beautiful prasiolite necklace shown here- easy to dress up or dress down.
This would be perfect to have for yourself for that special occasion, or to give as a gift.
Onto home decor- not only is it lovely to look at and would look brilliant in your home, but each artist illustrates the details of how the item was created and where in the global community the artwork is made and being shipped from. It’s a human connection in an otherwise intimate object.
This vase with images of the Maya city of Tikal on it brings to mind far of places and spaces, legends of long ago, adventures to be had- and plane tickets you know you want to book. In the meantime- it is also shipped (as are all other products) with an artisan story card to tell you all about the amazing artist who crafted this.
You will also find colorful clothing such as this beautiful batik sarong–
which can be worn in many ways- no two will ever look the same, since they are all hand made and stamped.
The best part about Novica? Your purchases help to change the lives of the artists.
You can even hold a Novica Live party, and designate an artist of your choice to receive a loan.
Take a look at the words of one Novica Artist–
“Novica has created a much better life for me. Before, I could hardly afford to live in a single room home. Now I live in a house with three rooms, and have my own car. Most importantly, I now support many other artisans who work with me. My family and I live a much better life, and five other families now benefit directly from my Novica sales.”
What does Novica Have to say?
“We want to give artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity. And, we want to provide you with access to unique, hard-to-find items at great values that only the Internet infrastructure can allow. At the deepest essence of our philosophy, we want to create a bridge between you and the many talented artisans across the globe.
We want you to know about who you’re buying from. We want you to feel that attachment to the product and to the hands that created it.
In the spirit of the Internet, let us bring you together.
NOVICA. The World is Your Market.”

O’Boy – I just spent like the last four hours reviewing my 300+ item Wish List at Novica (hands down my most favorite place to shop in the whole wide world for so many good reasons. I got a little carried away and posted/shared quite a few of my favorite creations from quite a few of my favorite artisans… (You can check out my FB page/wall to see some of the other items I might buy if armed with a $50 GC…
Here are three topping my list right now (I would, of course, commit “matching funds” of my own and maybe from my Honey/Hubby too…)
“Sunflower” Brooch (by Sasina, Thailand)
“Invitation” Wood Statuette (by Ning Charoensri, Thailand)
and
“Graceful Arc” Wood Statue (by Wayan Rendah)
