"The perfect wedding gift"

Who remembers wedding gifts? Well, 30+ years ago, we received a lovely Christmas decoration as a gift. Each year, as I set it up, I remember the person who gave it to me. So we have a tradition of giving nativities as wedding gifts. My niece married last year and I wanted something very special. They lived in a small apartment , so I needed to find a small one. I wanted it to be very unique, one of a kind. So I came to Novica. This was perfect. They were so happy when they unwrapped it. They told me this sat in the center of the table on which they worked their remote jobs. This year, they bought a home and said this will sit on the mantle during the holiday season. Thank you for this lovely creation.

"A sympathy gift"

This was sent to a friend as a sympathy gift. It is beautifully crafted and a keepsake. I sent it in place of a card. It was well received and brings solace in years to come.

"Beautiful modern crucifix"

Was looking for a crucifix to give to my granddaughter for her first Eucharist. I really wanted something that was a work of art and not merely a repeat of thousands of others. This is the second such crucifix I have purchased from you and I absolutely love them. They are perfect!
