I’ve been shopping at Novica for the last 4 years. I love the unique items, reasonable costs, and helping the artists make a fair profit on the goods they worked so hard to produce.

Handmade items support artists and that makes me feel honored to have a piece of their heart.

— Julie Lynn Wasson

Handmade means the person designed and took time to create, which makes it unique and far more interesting than massmade items.

— Annette Duran

Handmade pieces feel alive — they tell a story, hold emotion, and bring warmth that no factory could ever create.

I have been shopping at Novica for years. Love that everything is handmade and that each purchase makes a difference to that artist.

Great gifts at great prices. What’s not to love — a great artisan-made gift for the same or lesser price than commercially-made, mass produced. This is better all around.
