snowglobes
Wintry desktop decorations
Snowglobes are decorative objects consisting of a transparent sphere filled with water, a miniature scene, and white particles that swirl like falling snow when shaken.
They're popular souvenirs and collectibles, often depicting landmarks, holiday scenes, or sentimental figures: She brought back a snowglobe from Paris.
Also spelled as two words: snow globes.
