***Closed: Congrats to Eryn at HomeSchooledYear.com***
When it comes to buying gifts, I definitely struggle. My problem is, I want to find the perfect thing for the recipient.
I was recently introduced to Novica, a shopping site, in association with National Geographic, that offers a huge array of unique gifts. I'm not exaggerating when I say they have a huge selection. When picking out an item to review, I literally spent hours trying to decide.At Novica, they "want to give artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity," and they "want to provide you with access to unique, hard-to-find items at great values that only the Internet infrastructure can allow."
One thing I love about the site is the gift finder feature. You can browse by recipient, occasion, or through various sections, like corporate gifts or green gifts. I seemed to have gotten lost browsing through their jewelery and apparel section. There are so many beautiful items.
After much debate, I choose the Modal skirt. To be honest, I have very few skirts in my closet, though I've been wearing them more often in the heat this summer. The versatility of the Modal skirt drew me in. It can be worn as a long skirt, folded over as a shorter skirt, or as a dress.
I thought this was too much to ask from any one piece of clothing, but after wearing the skirt, I can say, it's true. It works well long or short, and can be dressed up or down. Plus, I was impressed at the quality of the skirt. It's a perfect addition to my closet.
The skirt was designed by Janet Molloy and made of Modal, a natural fiber, that makes the skirt basically wrinkle free. The skirt arrived, beautifully wrapped, with a card about the artist, and a small post card featuring a Balinese dancer.Win It: One lucky reader will win a $75 gift certificate to Novica

I love Novica. It is hands down my favorite e-shopping (and browsing) experience. I think my WISHLIST there is like a mile long!
I'm especially crazy about their jewelry - and with this very generous GC - I could actually afford to purchase TWO favorites on my Wish List:
Pearl Strand Necklace, 'Sweet Crocus' by Sasina (Vietnamese)
AND
Pearl & Carnelian Torsade Necklace, 'River of Gold' By Anarusa (Vietnamese)
Both are truly exquisite and I would cherish them!
