I have been following this guys work for a while now. He is an amazing artist. He is one of the artists who is working through Novica with National Geographic. Gorgeous jewelry, real gem stones, high quality. I want a few of his pieces but we decided we aren't doing Christmas presents since we had to buy furniture. So I thought some of you might be interested in seeing his work. Prices are incredibly
good.

FWIW, I actually think buying them dinner in their "town" is a bit awkward and certainly unnecessary. To me, one buys a meal for someone who visits them on their turf, partly really to say "I have a great place to share with you". One also might buy a meal for those who are struggling or lesser off, or junior in some way (young relatives, employees, etc). Or, if one were a houseguest and wanted to reciprocate; or if you golfed at their club. In the situation you describe, ostensibly you are going a little out of your way and giving up some resort time to spend with them. And, it is their turf. If anyone should pay for the group, it would be them IMHO. I'd be a bit surprised if they did not. All of this is to say that I think you have no need to do or give anything, even if you expect her to give you a book. (Which is a minor enough gift that it does not require reciprocation). But, if you did want to give something, I would make it small and personal and, unique to your area of the country. If it's small enough, it hardly matters what it is as long as you like it. When a recipient receives a small gift they really can't be burdened by not liking/needing it , etc. And IMHO you live in an area that is unusual and interesting to most; I think something "indigenous" to your area is a perfect. A small bowl or box? Or even a small frame.

We celebrated our 50th last May and I got my husband a Seiko mantle clock. It plays six different songs and they are all so pretty. They had several clocks to chose from and each clock had different songs. We have had so many compliments on the clock and the beautiful music. My husband was so pleased and that is saying a lot as he usually doesn't pay much attention to such things. I had a plate engraved and put on the front of it. Felt like it was a real hit. The cost was around $300. Bought it at a jewelry store, but you might google and find one on line. By the way, it doesn't have to be a mantle clock, but that is where we put it. Congratulations!

Maybe two pillows, one with the flag of Belarus and one with the US. I found this place on Etsy that can do two different flags - one on each side. Unfortunately, the Belarussian flag does not complement the American one as well as one would like- it's green and red predominantly. Here is the Easy vendor: https://www.etsy.com/listing/215513060/custom-flag-pillow-two-sides-customize?&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_c-home_and_living-home_decor-decorative_pillows&utm_custom1=64d6ae51-00ca-4823-b2d7-ac2ddf9d8ddc&gclid=CN2vl4i3y9QCFYlefgodB0EGBg. I thought also of coffee table art books focused on American artists or American landscapes. It sounds like a wonderful celebration in the making.

LOL Faron. I do that ALL the time. Sorry I can't check all the links right now.. my computer is misbehaving (my graphics card isn't compatible with windows 10.. and I need to shut down/restart after viewing a bunch of pages) but I remember those companies from a previous post, Cindy and I love Dancing Deer cookies, Sueb! I've never tried any "Pride of the Dakotas" food but I've spent a lot of time in Minneapolis.. and I am Swedish.. so I am not completely unfamiliar! I always ate well in the Twin Cities!

He does very nice design work in silver. There are a couple of his men's rings I like very much with one caution. I do not know the hardness of the silver alloys he is using. It looks to be high percent silver. Silver is very soft and the fine, intricate details of his rings would soon wear badly if a man wore the rings at all times. A nice ring like the ones he makes should be removed for work-a-day activities. His stone selections go well with silver but are not exceptional hard. Many of the stones were quartz based (amethyst, citrine) or topaz. Topaz is a little harder than quartz, but will still scratch during everyday use. There are better stone selections, but the prices would be very much more. These softer stones are fine for pendants, necklaces, and ear-rings.

His work is beautiful and so intricate and the prices for his items are very reasonable. I'm actually eyeing that elephant band as I collect elephant jewelry. Thanks for the link, Raven!

I am not a real jewelry follower so I looked just out of curiosity- have to say it's really quite lovely and yes very reasonable (as far as I know jewelry prices:). Thank you for sharing.

Raven, thank you so much for sharing this. I urge everyone to explore all of Novica for very unique items. 100% of the time when someone comments on my article of clothing, or piece of sculpture, or a unique gift, it is from NOVICA.com.

Novica is the first place I shop for my extremely particular step daughters, for my own eclectic clothing, jewelry, or decor, and for wonderful gifts for family and friends.

I have shopped Novica several times. Always quality products. I love his Fleur-de-lis silver band ring. And some Fleur-de-lis earrings. I collect Fleur-de-lis as you probably know lol. I have them all over the house.
