I have quite a few Disney World snow globes and I'm wondering if someone can tell me their worth?
The value of collectible snow globes may be viewed at several websites. One such site is the Bradford Exchange. Another is the Warner Brothers Company and a third is the Disney Store.
Let us begin with the types of snow globes. Crappy plastic ones and authentic handmade ones. So the prices range from about $2-$100. Sometimes higher and sometimes lower. Updated/edited answer: Some of the rarest snow globes go for hundreds and even thousands of dollars. In this category would be the original "feed the birds' snow globe from Mary Poppins; the Luis Vuitton collectible series, and award snow globes (such as MTv Moonmen awards).
Many souvenir shops sell snow globes
Snow globes can be found many places, and at many price points. Inexpensive scenic snow globes are often found at airport gift shops, in the souvenir sections of drug stores, and at amusement parks. Plastic domes with water and snow can be found at discount stores and even "dollar" stores. Museums often carry snow globes which may be replicas of pieces from their collections. Vintage and collectible snow globes are found on sites such as ebay, and rare pieces can go for hundreds, even thousands of dollars. There are places on line you can order a personal or customized snow globe, as well.
You can go to Lowes and Home Depo. I mean you can get inflatable snow globes ANYWHERE! I hope this helped, Madisyn Smith
Yes. People do make snow globes in the United States. For large quantities made in USA, try Double Exposure, Inc. For individual (one of a kind) snow globes, you may wish to contact Ferrara Studios or Snow Globe Central, which both make custom snow globes in the U.S.
Snow globes make awesome gifts especially when they are handmade with love. Kids and adults can make them for others to enjoy, and they can personalize them to fit the recipient perfectly. http://www.marthastewart.com/273254/snow-globes http://www.christmas-light-source.com/Easy-Snow-Globes-to-Make-with-Your-Kids_ep_47-1.html

Because they are actually called snow globes. Christmas is in the winter when it snows. Just an old tradition, no real reason. Addition: Because many early snow globes had holiday and winter themes, and the image of a snow globe became connected with the sentiment of the season.
