Valentines Day! Ahhh one of my favorite days of the year. The day where you show your sweetheart how much you love them. You shower your spouse and kids with love and kisses and little trinkets of love. But, how many times do you remember to shower your parents with Valentines Day Love?!?!
NOVICA is always my first stop looking for a unique gift. I’m never disappointed. Check out my top picks!! Some of my picks would be perfect for a new parent and some for my Mom. Of course, if my children are reading this This MaMa would love each and every single pick!!
1. Everylasting Kiss. This face to face, a couple kneels in a kiss. This would be a perfect wedding gift too!! Truly a lovely wood sculpture.
2. Jade and Amber PowerHandblown Murano Inspired Sculpture. The colors of this Murano inspired sculpture would be stunning on the mantel. This sculpture is achieved with time-honored blown glass techniques that are executed by hand.
3. Snow Duchess. This long loose fitting cardigan screams warm and cuddly! Warm and elegant made with a blend of baby alpaca, the fleece of the season’s first shear.
4. Upside Down Love I love the description of this sculpture. Love turns hearts head over heels!! Isn’t that the truth!! Inspired by the sculpture from Bali’s Eka, it’s hand carved from suar wood.
5. Blown Glass Hand Made Pitcher with ice chamber. The pitcher is crafted by hand with artistic expertise in the Mexican tradition of blown glass. So stunning!!
6. Summer Clover. This fair trade mango wood and pewter photo frame would be a perfect frame for a family photograph!! I’ve always said that getting photos of my kids and grandkids is my favorite gift!! A beautiful frame around the photograph doesn’t hurt!!
7. Window To My Heart. This wooden jewelry box for all of her treasures! This carved box is created with walnut wood by hand.
8. Margarita Ceramic Coffee Pot I can’t quite put my finger on what it is about this coffee pot that appeals to me so much! Is it the flowers? The bright cheerful design? Or the fact that Mom would think of me every time she pours a cup of coffee from this hand painted ceramic coffee pot crafted in Guatemala.
9. Gift from the SeaCarved Wood Turtle Wine Bottle Holder Nyoman Karsa has sculpted this stunning piece from suar wood for a uniquely Balinese table accessory. Don’t forget to add a bottle of wine! Mom’s like wine!
So, those are my picks for Valentine’s Day gifts for parents. I would love to know what NOVICA item is on YOUR wish list!! I have to add one more; I just can’t leave this review at just 9. So pick number 10 is mostly for the benefit of my darling husband. So pretty! This ring screams CONNIE!! Honest, listen! Designed by Jenny Setiawan. Strands of silver with deep blue topaz and pearls. So beautiful!!
Riviera Sapphire
Fair Trade Blue Cotton Striped Rope Hammock (Double) would be a great gift for my Mom!!
Love the ideas, especialy Wood Turtle Wine Bottle Holder! And the ring is perfect! 🙂
I love the uniqueness of their products too. There are always much to choose from and they are special and stand out from all the rest.
NOVICA, how I love NOVICA! There is nothing as special as a handcrafted gift. These are real artisans, all over the world, and NOVICA gives us the opportunity buy their wares, and support them at the same time. I’ve purchased from NOVICA 3 times before, and have never been disappointed – everything is so much prettier in person than in the photos! Of what you posted, my favorite is #7, the Window to my Heart wooden jewelry box. What I would put on my own wishlist is the “Temple” Medium Sterling Silver Bracelet – just gorgeous!
All so pretty, I love the Window to my Heart Wooden Jewelry box, your #7 pick. I’d add the “Temple” Sterling Silver Bracelet to my own wish list!
The blown glass hand made pitcher is beautiful! I love this colour ♥
That blown glass pitcher with the ice chamber is so unique! And thanks for the idea to remember my mom at Valentines Day! A widow probably just ignores this day ordinarily.
Love all your picks, especially #7. I would add any silver dangle earrings to my wishlist
I love the unique, handmade gifts Novica has! I hadn’t thought of using it as a source for Valentine’s Day gifts! Good idea!
I think my favorite things on Novica are the handmade jewelry or the handcarved animals from either the Southeast Asia area or the African countries. I love those!
I love the selection of artwork, particularly the surrreal art pieces – wonderful!
I love the handcrafted products that you carry in your store. I especially like the handcrafted, unique jewelry.
Novica’s product line is impossible to top; it is simply the best anywhere.
Oh my! I just love that Blue Sky: Pearl and Blue Topaz Cocktail Ring too!
I like the double heart sculpture. Very classy. I love the earrings they have on here.
My SIL would love the hand blown pitcher; this is a great idea for her birthday and one I’ll remember. My mom would love the snow duchess…she loves sweaters!
What a great company. I love their mission! In addition, the items they have on their site are awesome. Something for everyone…and many things for me 🙂
Beautiful choices! I would love all of these! The Blown Glass Hand Made Pitcher with ice chamber is just gorgeous.
The Blown Glass Pitcher is beautiful! I could definitely see that sitting on our kitchen counter.
That blow glass pitcher is so pretty. I love it. Perfect for a summer day.
Ps. That ring is gorgeous.
Oh my god, I’m so in love with the sea turtle wine bottle holder. Gorgeous!
They have so many beautiful things on their site. A wide variety to choose from.
Great picks!!! I really love Upside Down Love as well!
Loving all the wooden sculptures Novica has to offer.
Their pearl jewelry is something that I Find so beautiful. I also love their glassware. I know two different sorts of items.
Novica never disappoints. Everything I have ever ordered is super high quality, and I love the fact that I’m supporting artists from around the world.
I love Novica, beautiful and fair trade items. Thank you for sharing.
I love Novica, gorgeous and fair trade items, thank you for sharing.
Novica is one of my go to places for unique gifts. They have an astounding selection!
I’m with you – I LOVE Novica – it’s my favorite place to shop in the whole wide world. (Given limited funds, fortunately, I also LOVE to browse at Novica ~ it’s kind of like visiting a world class museum…)
I noticed your fondness for (romantic) wood sculptures/statuettes ~ I love them too! In fact they are my favorite gift for my 93 year old Mom ~ usually symbolizing a Mother’s love. I have given her TWO by Made Wirata (Java/Bali) “Mother’s Love” and “Moment of Tenderness” (as well as “Thinking of You” for myself!) and several by Eka two, I think they were called “Mother of Two” and “Family Circle.)
I have also built a kind of “sanctuary” for myself in a corner of my home office ~ it consists of a variety of sculptures, statuettes, paintings, photographs, jewelry and wall hangings ~ and many of these special and dear to my heart “symbols” are from Novica ~ and all over the world: Thailand, Bali/Java, India, Mexico, the Andes and many other countries.
I also have decorated the house (inside and out) with a variety of creations from Novica ~ the front porch is adorned with metal wall hangings (mostly from Mexico ~ the marvelous J Blas and Marco Polo!)
Several of my favorite purses are from artisans in Thailand and India and many of my favorite pieces of jewelry (especially necklaces and earrings) are from/by awesome jewelry designers in Thailand: Nareerat, Sasina, Bursarin, Anusara, Danai and Khun Boom.
Yes! I LOVE Novica! Thanks for the delightful review.
