Did you know that National Geographic is associated with a fair trade store called NOVICA which offers fantastic handcrafted items from around the globe? Neither did I until a representative of NOVICA asked if I’d consider reviewing one of their Corporate Gifts.
Now you know I am all about getting the best price for things. I love a deal! But even more than a deal, I love knowing that my money is supporting something good and that artisans are getting paid fairly for their hard work. NOVICA corporate gifts describes themselves as “the largest online collection of handcrafted fair trade corporate gifts, including items for client gifts, conference gifts, sales incentives, employee recognition and awards.”
For the review, I chose these gorgeous goblets from Mexican artisans Javier and Efren.
These glasses are fabulous. They are gorgeous, sturdy, thick, and huge! In the summer, I drink a ton of iced tea. I get annoyed having to refill my glass all the time so these will be perfect for my giant-sized thirst!
The glasses have some imperfections in them and some bubbles at the base which I love. The imperfections showcase their hand-blown charm.
The blue on these glasses is just gorgeous. It’s just like an antique-bell-jar blue!
Here are some other NOVICA products that caught my eye an might just catch yours:
Thanks so much to NOVICA for allowing me to review one of their products and share their store with all of you!
Disclosure: I received 6 glasses free of charge for this review; however, opinions on the product and the NOVICA site are 100% mine.

I love the bright yellow of the lemons next to the beautiful turquoise blue glasses. So pretty and perfectly Spring! Btw, I have the same PB curtains. Well, I have one actually. Found it at the outlet and used it in my baby boys room. We've moved and now have wider windows so I can't use it:( But love it still! Great post!

Love the lemon theme and your tablescape is beautiful. I love the fresh smell of lemon. FYI, I found some cute glasses with lemons on them at Dollar Tree today. They are too cute, perfect for spring/summer.
