Snow Globe..

Next time you pick up a Snow Globe. Think twice about what’s really inside. It could be an entire universe in the palm of you hand. Thank you for the clip Amy

Snow globes, snowdomes, snow shakers, snowstorms, waterglobes, waterdomes, waterballs, blizzard weights, shake 'em ups, shakies, snowies. Whatever you call them, virtual or real, they have a fascination for people young and old all round the world.
It isn't certain exactly when the first snowglobe was made but they appear to date from
France during the early 1800s, possibly as a natural successor to the glass paperweight, which had become popular a few years earlier. However, by 1879 at least five companies were producing snowglobes and selling them throughout Europe.
