Best for

• Client Christmas gifting — A photo-insert globe with the client's building, store or campaign hero image inside — tissue-wrapped in a rigid gift box with a handwritten card. The gift that gets posted to LinkedIn.

Frequently asked

What's the minimum order for custom snow globes? Photo-insert snow globes start at 50-100 units. Custom resin figurine briefs typically start at 100-250 units because of the sculpting and moulding setup. Larger runs (500+) earn 20-35% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 100, 250 and 500 so you can see where the maths works hardest for your campaign.

How long do custom snow globes take to produce and deliver? Allow 3-5 weeks for photo-insert or paper-insert globes from artwork approval. Custom resin figurine briefs need 6-10 weeks, because the sculpting, sampling and moulding is where the craft lives. For Christmas landings we recommend locking artwork by late September. Rush options are sometimes possible on stocked globe formats — ask our team early.

What branding methods work on snow globes? Full-colour digital photo inserts print onto a disc inside the globe — the most flexible option for imagery, logos and campaign artwork. Pad print works on the plastic or timber base for logos. Laser etching on solid timber bases reads as premium for recognition gifts. Custom resin figurines can be sculpted to your brief and hand-painted in your brand colours.

Are the liquid and materials inside safe and sustainable? Our standard globes use a water-and-glycerin mix with non-toxic glitter or snow. We offer FSC-certified timber bases for briefs where sustainability is part of the story, and recyclable kraft gift-box packaging in place of plastic inserts. For fully bio-based options ask our team — the Sense2 catalogue includes several eco-minded gifting alternatives if snow globes don't land the brief.

Can you design custom figurines and gift packaging to match our brand? Yes. Our in-house design studio sculpts custom resin figurines from your reference (buildings, logos, mascots, product shapes), hand-paints them in brand colours, and designs the gift-box packaging — rigid matte, kraft, tissue wrap and branded ribbon — so the opening moment matches the brand. This is the part of a Christmas brief we enjoy most.

Can I see a sample before I commit to a full run? Yes. Stock-format snow globes can ship as free samples Australia-wide within 48 hours. For custom resin figurines we produce a pre-production sample with your sculpt and insert artwork before the full run — so you can hold the weight, check the paint and approve the packaging. After 30+ years of Christmas briefs, we know samples are where decisions are made.
