King Richard's Faire: Holiday Gift Guide for Dragon-Lovers, Music-Lovers & Renaissance Collectors

This post has been sponsored by King Richard's Faire.  All opinions expressed are my own.

After souvenir hunting at Carver, Massachusetts' King Richards Faire for the 6th year, I just had to share some of the unique finds I've come across.  If you wait until the holiday shopping season officially starts in November, then you'll miss out on these unique gift ideas because this wildly popular Renaissance faire closes for the season on October 22nd.


Gifts for Dragon-Lovers . . .


Mardigan's Maile, who offers hand crafted chainmaile jewelry, also offers handpainted collectibles next door.  You are sure to find something for your dragon-lover here (young or old), as well as for fans of fairies and unicorns.

Here Be Dragons has a wide variety of ready-to-frame fantasy art prints that feature dragons and more.  A perfect gift idea for a cult movie fan or MTG enthusiast.

According to Uncommon Adornments, dragons are a symbol of wealth, power, and protection. Dragons are just a small sampling of the 40+ designs they sell.  Each piece of jewelry can be customized with one of twenty different stones.  Each symbol and stone have a unique meaning.  Creating a custom combination would make the perfect gift for someone special.

The Imaginarium Galleries is where my youngest son chose his King Richard's Faire souvenir last year.  This shoppe offers cable-controlled dragon puppets in all different colors and sizes.


Gifts for Music-Lovers . . .

Sunnyside Musical Creations is where my daughter chose her King Richard's Faire souvenir this year.  She actually saw these hand carved flutes last year, but had already chosen a portrait painting for her souvenir.  This year, she anxiously returned to try out the different flutes.  They were all unique in both look and sound, but ultimately, I convinced her she should select the flute that had the sound she loved the most.  The selection included regular flutes, recorders, pan flutes, and more.

Mystic Rhythms sells exotic drums and other handmade instruments.  I was enamored by the drums because, not only are they musical instruments that are fun to play, they are also works of art.

Magical Ocarinas . . . the name says it all.  This little clay flute is one of my son's favorite souvenirs from our past visits to King Richard's Faire.  The ocarinas are all unique and fairly easy to play, making them the perfect small gift or stocking stuffer for a child or an adult.


Gifts for Artisan-Made Collectors . . .

Ivy Rose Archery sells handcrafted archery bows and arrows.  Although those would make a great gift for anyone who is adventurous, what really caught my eye were the hand sculpted drinking horns. They would be a wonderful addition to a 3D art or drinkware collection.

Starfire Swords carries stage swords, daggers, and axes.  These pieces are crafted of real metal and are quite heavy.  Although the short swords and daggers I handled were not sharpened, they would most definitely look quite impressive on a wall display.

Mahinda's Mad Dog Pottery offers handspun pottery vases, mugs, bowls, and more.  I thought the Baby Bear Mugs and the Big Papa Bear Mugs would make perfect gifts for father and son.

We visit Staffs By Gust every year during our trip to King Richard's Faire, and every year my husband admires the craftsmanship of these walking staffs. No two are alike, and you can choose the height, color, and design to suit an individual's personality.  I'm so happy my husband finally treated himself to one this year.

Visit King Richard's Faire by October 22nd to start your holiday shopping early with over 80 different Artisans of the Realm!

Let the Wand Choose the Wizard with This Handmade Gift Idea for Your Harry Potter Fan

Since this year marks the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter, my children's keen interest in this series was renewed.  Their choice for every family movie night has been a Harry Potter movie for the past few months.  It wasn't a surprise when they brought up the wand we purchased as a birthday gift for my daughter's classmate last fall at King Richard's Faire.  They started to get excited about perhaps choosing wands for their souvenirs at our visit to the Faire this year.  When they started fashioning magic wands out of paper and using up all the rolls of tape in the house, it was clear that waiting a few months for their wands would be extremely difficult for them.

Being the avid online shopper that I am, I started looking on Etsy to see what was available and for what price.  I was surprised at the wide range of magic wands (and prices) on Etsy.  The more I looked, the more I came to realize that I wanted only hand carved wooden wands for my children, similar to the ones sold by the artisan at the Renaissance Faire.  When I came upon the shop, OrchardWorks, I knew I was getting close!

Here's where the magic happened.  I discovered that OrchardWorks offers 'random wands' at an incredible price!  You can tell the shop owners what your color preferences are, along with some adjectives that would describe your perfect wand's personality.  Then the wand chooses the wizard!  You'll see which wand chooses you when it arrives at your door.  How cool is that?

I have to admit that my daughter was a little worried about not being able to choose her wand herself since she is so particular about everything (no idea who she got that from), but she was extremely pleased with her wand, as were her two brothers.  Hers is the light-colored one in the center.  Her preferences were that her wand be honey color and delicate.  My oldest received the wand at the top.  He had asked that his wand be dark-stained and regal.  My youngest son's wand is pictured at the bottom, and is my favorite.  He asked for a black,  twisted, powerful wand.  All three have been casting imaginary spells on each other since that day.

TIP:  If you are shopping for more than one child, you can tell the shop owners the name or age/gender of your children.  They'll label each wand for you, so you'll know which wand chose which wizard.

Since I was so impressed by the workmanship and quality of these wands, I just had to share.  You would care for them as you would care for fine wood furniture.  These would make perfect gifts or even party favors for a Harry Potter-themed birthday party.  I wish I had purchased one for myself!

Who do you know who would love their own Harry Potter-inspired wand?  Share with us in a comment here.

3G2S Turned 7! Let's Celebrate with 'Gifts That Give!' from UNICEF Market!

Thank you to UNICEF Market for providing a gift code for us to shop and for providing an additional gift code for our giveaway prize.  All opinions expressed are my own.

This March, 3G2S turned 7!  Since I am now a part time blogger and have far less time to write, I have to make each post count.  That's why this blogoversary seems like the perfect opportunity to share the new sister site to Novica.com, UNICEF Market, with 3G2S readers.

As you may have noticed over the years, I have a soft spot for triple garnet silver jewelry.  I love wearing it to represent my three January babies.  That's why I absolutely fell in love with the Garnet and Sterling Silver 'Waterfall' Necklace I found on UNICEF Market.  This necklace was handcrafted by an artisan named Carmen Granados from the Andes in Peru and displays three round garnets in a graceful, yet modern design.

To make UNICEF Market jewelry even more special, each piece comes in a drawstring jewelry pouch and is accompanied by an artisan storycard, which allowed me to learn a little bit about the woman in Peru who created my necklace.  Every UNICEF Market purchase is packed with a postcard with a handwritten thank you.  In addition to all these special touches, you can feel good about giving artisan-made gifts because, not only are you supporting the artisan, but you are also helping UNICEF save and protect children in impoverished areas around the world.  Each product page gives you an example of how your purchase could benefit children.  For example, the purchase of this necklace may have provided 18 doses of measles vaccine to vulnerable children.

I have to admit, I love giving 'gifts that give' as much as I love receiving them.  While shopping for myself on UNICEF Market, I began looking for Mother's Day gift ideas for my mother, grandmother, and sister.  On the top of my list so far are the beautiful scarves and shawls, plus some of the ornate hand carved jewelry boxes.

Thinking of shopping UNICEF Market for your next gift purchase?  Each gift purchase comes with a free greeting card containing your gift message plus there is the option to upgrade to Premium Gift Boxes for jewelry purchases.  For each item, you can click on "Delivery Estimate" to find the cost of shipping (which is surprisingly affordable) and the approximate number of business days it will take the item to travel from its point of origin to your front door.

Novica.com Makes it Possible to Experience the Amazing Talent of Artisans From Around the World

Thank you to Novica for providing a gift code for us to shop online from artisans all around the world and for providing a second gift code for our contest prize.  All opinions expressed are my own.

I have always appreciated artistic talent, regardless of the subject matter or medium. But I have always had a special appreciation for sculpting. There is something about an artist's ability to create in 3 dimensions that really awes me. It is hard enough to judge scale and proportions in 2 dimensions, let alone 3!

A few years ago we were turned onto Novica.com, an online retailer that specializes in bringing art from all over the world to one place for the world to see and buy. Novica gives artists, from big cities to remote jungles, an audience for their talent, in many cases showcasing talent that would otherwise stay hidden from the rest of the world.

Not only does Novica give a platform for artists worldwide to showcase and sell their goods, they practice in fair trade and even offer microloans to help artists get their works out to the world. It is good to shop at a retailer that is helping artists and small business owners as much as they are themselves. As a consumer, the prices are pretty fantastic as well.

Over the last couple of years we have procured 8 or so pieces from all over the world through Novica, some for ourselves and some for gifts. I love opening the authentically wrapped packages and reading the handwritten cards from the workshops and artists they come from. It truly connects you with the artist and makes the art personal, as if they made it just for you.

Recently I was sent an Eagle Bust, hand carved by Pande Made Anom of Bali. Pande included a handwritten card as well as carving his name and the piece number on the bottom of the bust. The Eagle was larger than I thought it would be (even though the dimensions were provided) and the wood grain was amazing. The scaling and proportions are spot on and the attention to fine detail is stunning.

Even after owning many pieces from Novica I am always amazed at the quality and talent that awaits me in every package. It's funny how something that you carefully picked after seeing pictures and detailed descriptions can also be such a surprise when its time to open it. It is always exciting to see a package from Novica.  I feel as if another part of the world is being sent to me (it quite literally is!).

The only other way to be exposed to these artists would be to travel the world and search them out.  The odds of me meeting Pande in a small Bali town are about zero, but here I am the owner of a fine piece he carved, signed, and sent to me. I will never meet Pande, but I stare at a piece of his passion every day while sitting at my desk in my office.

Visit Novica.com to see some of Pande’s work as well as that of many other artists from all over the world. If you are gift shopping, you could find everything from unique brooches from Peru to West African kente cloths and everything in between.  If you end up choosing something, let me know about your experience opening it when it arrives!

Find Unique Gifts for Mom on Novica.com

Thank you to Novica for providing a gift code for our contest prize and for providing a second code to me as a thank you for taking the time to participate in this campaign.  All opinions expressed are my own.

Shopping for unique gifts for mom can be quite time-consuming.  When you think about it, you need to come up with something she'll love for the Holidays, her birthday, and Mother's Day (at minimum).  That is quite a lot of pressure.  That is why I have a few go-to websites that I can always rely on to have just the perfect thing.  Novica.com is one of those websites.

Novica carries handcrafted items from artisans located all around the world, including regions such as the Andes, Bali, Brazil, Thailand, West Africa, and many more.  I have shopped on Novica for years and have been pleased with every purchase.  In fact, every item has exceeded my expectations.  Novica even gift wraps most items for you free of charge, plus every item has been very well-packed and protected.  My only complaint about shopping on Novica.com is how much time I end up spending browsing the website.  There are always new things to see and to say that their selection is vast would be an enormous understatement.

So whether your mom likes jewelry, handbags, unique home decor, or wall art and sculptures, you will likely find something at Novica.com for her.  With the gift code I received, I ordered the Pair of Hurricane Glass Vases (pictured above) made by two artisans named Javier and Efren in Mexico.  They are just the thing I have been looking for to fill a vacant spot on top of a bookcase in our living room.  I can't wait until they arrive!  I've been staring at that empty spot for too long.

Glitter Pyrite Sphere from Novica.com

One of my go-to sites when buying a gift for someone who has everything is Novica.com.  This site, in association with National Geographic, offers clothing, jewelry, accessories, and home furnishings created by artisans from all around the world.  My husband does not have everything, but most of what is on his wishlists are tech and electronic items that cost hundreds of dollars.  Even so, when he browses the Novica website, he always finds something with a high coolness factor that he would like to own (and most of the items do not cost hundreds of dollars to buy).  In the past he has chosen things like a hand carved coconut shell.  This time one of the stone spheres created by stone carver Cesar Gonzales of Peru caught his eye.  The one he liked most was this Glitter Pyrite Sphere.

Like with many items sold on Novica.com, this one came with complimentary gift wrapping.  All Novica products come with a postcard from the artisan's region and a little card telling the story of the product and the person who created it.

(Click any photo to enlarge)

Although the pyrite sphere only measures approximately 2.6" in diameter, it is very heavy.  Sitting on the smooth calcite base, this sphere looks wonderful displayed on top of a desk and is quite a conversation piece.  It would make a great gift for anyone who is fascinated by nature and geology.

In addition to mens accessories, such as cufflinks, walking-sticks, and men's scarves, Novica also offers fun things like hand carved chess sets, musical instruments, and accent furniture.  Along with being handcrafted, the story behind each artist truly makes any of these items a special gift.

Unique Gifts from Novica.com

Now that you have Mother's Day behind you, that means that Father's Day is right around the corner.  I have always found that men are more difficult to shop for than women.  If that is the case for you as well, then let me share with you a site I always turn to for unique gifts . . . Novica.com.  If you are buying a gift for someone who has everything, whether it is a man or a woman, you are pretty much guaranteed to find something with a high coolness factor from Novica because this site sells products crafted by artisans from around the world.

I chose this goldfish-themed coconut shell sculpture as a gift for my husband.  He recently lost a pair of goldfish that were with us for a long time and was heartbroken over it.  I thought this sculpture would be a great conversation piece for his desk at work, but he loved it so much, he wanted to display it on the shelf in our living room.  This piece was crafted by a Balinese artisan named Putra Suteja and was shipped to us directly from Indonesia.  The scultpture arrived gift wrapped with a handmade gift topper on it, along with a postcard from Bali and a little card containing the artisan's personal story.

I could not resist also choosing something for myself.  I am a huge fan of the sterling silver jewelry on Novica.com.  Although I am allergic to silver earrings, I love to browse their selection of necklaces, rings, and bracelets.  I ended up choosing this "Midnight Sun" sterling silver bangle bracelet made by an artisan named Shanker from India.

This bracelet was perfect for me because it measures 6.9" in diameter.  I have found that the jewelry sold on Novica.com, aside from the rings, are not always a standard size.  This works out great for those of us who are in between sizes.  I have also found that most jewelry pieces come with a complimentary fabric-covered gift box.

Now Novica fans have a new way to shop.  You can host a NOVICA Live party by inviting a consultant plus your friends and family into your home to shop for unique handcrafted fair trade gifts from all around the world.  To learn more about hosting a party or becoming a consultant, visit NovicaLive.com.  To learn more about Novica products and its artisans, visit Novica.com and Novica on Facebook.

Ruby Tuesday: With Love from Bali

Recently, I ordered a carved coconut shell with a goldfish design for my husband.  It was really an amazingly detailed sculpture.  It was made by an artisan from Bali.  The shell was carefully packed and gift wrapped.  The gift topper was almost as impressive as the gift itself.  It was quite delicate and remained intact during the whole trip from Indonesia.

Holiday 2010 Giveaway: Twilight-Inspired Fire and Ice Necklace [CLOSED]

I am a huge fan of artisan jewelry and am always proud to wear a special piece that shows off a jewelry crafter's imagination and skill. I wore this Twilight-inspired Fire and Ice Necklace from Bella Bejeweled to go out to dinner to celebrate my husband's and my 10th wedding anniversary. I only had it on for a few hours and received several compliments about it, including ones from our preschool-aged daughter and our server at the restaurant.

Bella Bejeweled offers handcrafted rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets in sterling silver and other metals. The jewelry is artistic and unique, especially the Twilight-inspired jewelry collection. You may also be interested to know that Bella Bejeweled also offers one of a kind jewelry pieces, as well as custom orders. If you are planning on giving jewelry this holiday, keep in mind that knowing yours is the only piece of jewelry of its kind adds quite a bit of value to a gift and makes it that much more special.

My sterling silver Fire and Ice Swarovski Crystal necklace came in a ribbon-tied pouch that was wrapped and ready-to-give. This is perfect for anyone who needs to ship a gift directly to the recipient.

I am not a fan of high-glitz jewelry (unless a special occasion calls for it). I actually asked for a smaller diamond solitaire for my engagement ring. In my opinion, Swarovski crystals catch light beautifully and offer a subtle brilliance. I love my Fire and Ice necklace and think that it will be the perfect necklace to wear to any Christmas celebrations I will be attending this year. Considering that red is my favorite color, I suspect I will be wearing this necklace all year round.

This 17" necklace can be created in a custom length. In silver-plated, the Fire and Ice necklace retails for $34.99 and for $44.99 in sterling silver. Visit BellaBejeweledShop.com and Bella Bejeweled on Facebook to view the entire selection of artisan jewelry.

Thank you to Bella Bejeweled for providing us with a complimentary sample necklace to base this review upon and for providing an additional product for our contest prize.

What you can win:
One lucky reader will receive one Bella Bejeweled item up to a $50 value (Winner's choice).
