What are Snow Globes?
Snow globes, also known as water globes or snow domes, are small decorative paperweights often sold as commemorative novelties or personalized gifts. Most snow globes contain small flakes of white plastic to simulate a snow fall whenever they are shaken. Some snow globes, however, may contain bits of glitter or small plastic representations of real objects such as dollar signs or musical notes. The “snow” in snow globes usually falls over a holiday scene, a personalized photograph or a popular tourist destination.
