Popular among both children and adults, snow globes always have been a charming and captivating addition to a desk, table, or shelf. Today there are many different types available. Here's a closer look at some of the more popular ones and some insights on why they have become such favorites. 

Disney snow globes

From classic Disney characters to recent ones, Disney snow globes are a favorite among children. These often have a classic look that seems to make them timeless. While many are ideal for a children's room, some are rather expensive and should be displayed in a safe place.

Most Disney snow globes are priced around $30 or $40, but the more expensive ones start around $80. The price varies based on the features the snow globe has, such as lights, movement, or music.

Inflatable snow globes

Available in a number of sizes, inflatable snow globes are another popular option. Some are as large as 8 feet tall, which makes them a great yard decoration during the holidays. It probably goes without saying that the larger the snow globe is and the more features it is equipped with, the more expensive it is.

For example, one of the most popular inflatable snow globes is 8 feet tall, uses approximately 1.5 million white pellets, and is priced around $200. However, there are smaller ones available with a variety of different themes for less.

Despite what you may think, inflatable snow globes don't require a lot of work. In fact, the one mentioned above takes less than five minutes to inflate.

Christmas snow globes

Many people prefer snow globes that feature a Christmas scene. Considering that the dominant feature of snow globes is snow swirling about, it is only natural for ones that feature a Christmas scene to be popular, whether it's a snowman, Santa Claus, or just a lovely Christmas tree.

For their affordability and beauty, these often make wonderful holiday gifts. While they do vary in price, depending on their size and detail, chances are, regardless of your budget, there is one that fits within it.
