Wood puzzles are a great way to challenge your mind and keep it sharp while having fun, so try this gift box curated from the NOVICA Collection featuring three puzzles carved by hand from teak wood by Java's Widanti guaranteed to keep you and your friends entertained for hours. The set comes with three puzzles of different shapes, like a cube or a tennis ball, each composed of six to 12 small pieces that must be assembled together in a particular way.

In Balinese mythology, Barong, also known as Bhoma, represents the goodness that destroyed the evil Rangda. His adventures are reenacted in the form of a folkloric dance and his image is also hung on doors to ward off evil spirits. He is the centre of three exquisite items crafted in Indonesia and selected by the NOVICA team for a gift set imbued with mystique and style. The remarkable wall mask is hand-carved in great detail from suar wood, ready to infuse your space with cultural significance. The splendid jewellery box is skillfully handcrafted from jempinis wood and opens to reveal a convenient mirror and four small compartments surrounding a larger one, all lined with faux velvet. The beloved Barong also graces the gorgeous sterling silver pendant in a unity bracelet fashioned with lava stone beads and a handmade macrame cord.

Make a sustainable choice by ditching single-use plastic bags and wraps for these reusable accessories from Costa Rican artisan Ligia Alvarez, featured in this practical gift set curated by the NOVICA team aimed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing convenience. Handmade from biodegradable cotton and boasting lovely printed motifs, the sandwich and bread bags are ideal for packing your favorite delicacy, transporting those crusty baguettes from the bakery or storing day-old bread. Also handcrafted from biodegradable cotton, the three reusable wraps are waterproof, too, making them the perfect way to cover bowls and cups, wrap bread, tortillas, fruit and beyond. Finally, the two reusable mesh storage bags come with a handy drawstring closure and are a great alternative for shopping, washing and storing fruits and vegetables as well as organizing phone and headphone cables or safely laundering your delicate garments in the washing machine.
