“Really adorable!”

This was purchased for our son and his girlfriend who is a veterinarian. It made ,along with the dog a charmingly colorful gift. They both loved their gifts and also appreciated that it is a gift that helps support artists and their craft. The fact that they are using recycled flip flop materials makes it also good for the environment. Love Novica for gift giving!! These animals are very charming.

“Just adorable”

Love my purchase. It is so very cute. My only wish is that one could choose the design from the ones available at purchase. Blue and red just arent my favorite color combos. (I tried to upload a photo multiple times, but I kept getting an error message.)

“Poorly made”

This item is poorly made and after failing to check the size listed I was disappointed. I have 4 other eco animals purchased several years ago from the Smithsonian gift shop. They are smoother and better made. This article, while cute, is overpriced

“Charming”

This was a holiday gift purchased for our son and his girlfriend. We try to find ways to give gifts that help the artists as well as please the one receiving the gift. Novica is one of my favorite places to shop because I like to think that the act of giving should be done thoughtfully. This dog made from recycled flip flops was a delightful and fun gift for someone who loves animals or someone who loves quirky colorful art!
