great gifts for mom

Everything about this robe (Misty Javanese Forest) is exquisite: the colour is stunning and more intense than in the picture (did not fade a bit in a wash), the design gorgeous, the workmanship impeccable, the fabric very pleasant on the skin and the fit perfect, even for a tall woman like myself. I was so thrilled with this housecoat that I immediately ordered another one from the same artist. Parwati (I believe this is your first name rather than Desak), I found that Parvati in Sanskrit means "of the mountains" and is a goddess of love and power - I am honoured to be wearing your beautiful creation, which exudes these characteristics of your name. And NOVICA, the beautiful packaging together with the handwritten note with a few phrases in Balinese was very touching - like a present from a friend. This was my first purchase from NOVICA and it exceeded my highest expectations. Spreading happiness around the world indeed!

This wrap is a perfect size and weight for adding a little warmth on a cool evening or early morning. The quality is superb, the weaving is tight and smooth, the colors are so lovely and it wash’s up beautifully - colors don’t fade and the fringe doesn’t tangle. It hangs dry nicely and irons easily. I really love it! I made this purchase after buying a scarf from this same group of artists because I was so impressed by their work.

I just received my bracelet along with another gift I ordered from Thailand. I can't even begin to express how absolutely thrilled I am with this jewelry. This is not a small beaded bracelet. The jade beads are substantial which only serves to enhance the beauty of this piece. It is elegant and the elephant charm is a gentle reminder of how we all need to protect these beautiful creatures. I love knowing that this piece was made my hand and I would like to thank Somluck for making this piece. I will definitely order more lovely pieces from this artist. Novia is incredible and I am forever a fan!
