snow globes

Miniature winter scenes

Snow globes are decorative objects containing a miniature scene enclosed in a transparent sphere filled with liquid and white particles.

When shaken, the particles swirl and settle slowly, simulating falling snow: She collected snow globes from every city she visited.

They're popular as souvenirs and holiday decorations, often depicting winter landscapes, landmarks, or Christmas scenes.
