Didn't know what size to get, so I bought two. Unbeknownst to me, I wanted both!
I have been intrigued by the crying Buddha for years. I sometimes struggle with depression and the crying Buddha makes me feel less alone. I bought both the small and larger carving because I didn't know how they would "feel". I want to offer comfort to the Buddha and I didn't know what that would look like. Would I want to hold it in my hand or would I want to stroke his back? Turns out, I want to do both. I brought the smaller carving to work and I have the larger statue on my grandmother's desk. I rub the larger statue's back every time I walk into my living room. I offer the Buddha my comfort and he offers me his. I hold the smaller carving in my hand when I'm at work. The smooth contours of the carving beg to be touched. I'm so happy with both of them. They are beautiful.

Beautifully adorning my wife's wrist
I was looking for something meaningful for my wife's birthday and she hinted at a silver bracelet similar to her ankle bracelet. I flatly refused to pay the prices locally and make the rich even richer - I found this bracelet on the Novica website. For me, purchasing this way, makes the whole present so much better; along with a story to tell, giving it some history and, most of all, the money goes into the pockets of those who deserve it rather than those who are trying to flaunt their wealth. Ordered on the 21st , delivered to New Zealand from Bali on the 25th - way above my expectation. Hasten to add my wife was delighted with the bracelet and she stoked about the way it was purchased - win-win for everyone!
