Los Angeles, CA, July 20, 2009 - Novica.com today marked the third anniversary of its highly successful Corporate Gifts department, a significant milestone for the National Geographic-associated company.

Despite the global economic recession, Novica's Corporate Gifts department has experienced strong annual growth and is attracting new clients such as Aveda, known for its plant-based products and sustainable business practices.

"In these difficult economic times, our customers are looking to give unique gifts that also contribute in some larger way to society," said Jose Cervantes, Novica's VP of Sales and Operations. "Novica sells products, but beyond that we sell a story, a cause, a purpose. When you buy from Novica you buy directly from the hands of the artisans who crafted your product, directly affecting their lives and helping support artisans across the globe."

Companies looking to show appreciation to customers and employees can find meaningful gifts at Novica that exceed quality expectations and meet most budgets. Novica's corporate gifts line includes include sculptures made from recycled metal parts, hand blown Murano glass, carved stone chess sets, cufflinks, and sterling silver key chains.

"Partnering with Novica reinforces a company's image as a socially-conscious organization interested in contributing to the well-being of our global community," said Roberto Milk, Novica co-founder and CEO. "Recipients will appreciate this refreshing approach as a departure from customary incentive and award programs."
