SNOW GLOBES:

Snow globes are often a little tiny universe that you can hold in your hand. I remember having a few when I was a child, and I remember thinking they were magical. I think most children probably think they are, and this is perhaps why they are a popular item to play with when children find them on the shelf of a store.

When I was young, most of the I saw were made of glass, and I was always told to be very careful. Today, you may find that some are glass while quite a few others are made of plastic. made today for children will be exclusively made of plastic.

Aren’t just for Christmas any longer. When I was a child, all of the ones I saw were Christmas related. Santa presents and reindeer were the most common themes. Today, however, you can find show globes with just about anything you can imagine. Some don’t even contain snow. Instead, they have glitter or even small glass beads inside that float through the water when the globe is shaken. Some can even come with tiny lights to light up the scene within.

If you love to travel, you can find almost anywhere you go, and this might be a great way to remember each location you have visited. Whether you get one from each state of the United States, or perhaps from the different countries you visit. might be neat things to bring home to give to loved ones once you return. You may find ones that feature that country. If you go to Australia, you are sure to find one with the Sydney Opera House, for example, or perhaps a small scene of Uluru. If you get one in Paris, it might feature the Eiffel Tower.

You can also get personalized; some even can be made with a picture of your choice included. These make great gifts or perhaps even wedding or shower favors. You can also get them made up with your company name to give away as a promotional item. There is something relaxing about, and chances are good that anyone you give one to will keep it on their desk or somewhere they can see it often. can be a great way to remind someone you love them, or to keep your company name on their mind.
