Questions people ask

Should a snow globe be glass or acrylic?
Glass looks clearer and feels more traditional, while acrylic is lighter and holds up better to bumps in a home with children.
Why do some snow globes get a bubble inside?
A small air bubble can form over time as liquid slowly evaporates, and it tends to be more common in older or cheaper sealed globes.
