How to Send Water Globe Gifts:
Because water globes come in so many different designs and themes, they can be good gifts for people with diverse tastes and interests. However, because good-quality water globes are made out of glass and other fragile materials, it can be difficult to pack a water globe securely to ship it to somebody as a gift. When you need to send a water globe gift, security is much more important than presentation because you want the water globe to arrive in one piece.- Purchase a new corrugated cardboard box that is large enough for the water globe to fit with at least 2 inches of space in every direction around it, including below. Although you can reuse an old box, a new box will be less likely to be damaged in transit.
- Wrap the water globe in new bubble wrap with all of its bubbles intact, making sure to cover all parts of the water globe and base. Secure the bubble wrap with scotch tape.
- Put at least 2 inches of heavy-duty packing peanuts into the bottom of the cardboard box.
- Set the water globe into the box, upright. Although shipping services do not promise to maintain the orientation of the box as it ships, the side you put the address on will be most likely to be on top.
- Fill the box with packing peanuts all around the water globe. The peanuts should be tightly packed into the box, although not so tight that they break.
- Close the box. Before taping it shut, shake the box and listen to see if you hear the contents moving. Then open the box and see if the water globe is positioned where you had placed it. If needed, add more packing peanuts.
- Tape the box closed with packaging tape.
- Write "FRAGILE" on all sides of the box. This will let the carrier know to handle the box with care.
- Write the destination address on the top of the box.
- Take the box to your preferred shipping carrier. If the water globe is valuable, ask about insuring the package for the value of the item.
How to Fix a Musical Water Globe:
Many people own a musical water globe at some point in their life. Some people collect them, while others may have received one as a gift or purchased one on vacation. Unfortunately, these beautifully crafted works of art do not last forever and are prone to damage. Most people throw away the water globe when it becomes damaged or the music stops working. You can easily repair these problems with just a few steps, restoring the water globe to its former condition.- Salvage any usable parts of the broken water globe such as the figurine, the snow or the base. Allow snow to dry. Clean the figurine with water. Determine if the figurine needs to be remounted on a new rubber gasket; if so, use the underwater glue and adhere the figurine to the middle of the new rubber gasket.
- Place musical movement onto the pre-drilled base plate and fasten with small screws. Fit the base plate into the bottom of the wood base and secure with small screws. Wind the musical movement to ensure it is in working order.
- Check to see if the glue has dried on the figurine and rubber gasket. Insert the rubber gasket into the top of the wood base carefully. Adjust placement if needed.
- Take the egg crate foam and trace the pattern of the top of the glass globe. Cut out the pattern with scissors to create a nesting place for the glass globe to rest. Make sure the glass globe will be well supported in the egg foam. Remove the glass globe from the egg foam.
- Fill the glass globe with distilled water. Remove 3 tablespoons of the water to make room for the snow. Add 2 teaspoons of glycerin to the distilled water and mix thoroughly. Pour snow into the glass globe.
- Rim the glass globe with the underwater glue, laying down a thick line to seal the glass globe to the wood base. Place the wood base gently onto the inverted glass globe. Set aside in the egg crate foam to allow the glass globe to dry on the wood base.

12-09-2009- Other Thoughts: My 3 year old daughter expressed much interest in having a jewelry/music box. I didn't want to spend a fortune and my biggest concern was that she would just break it. I found and bought this one as a Christmas present last year.

09-29-2010- Other Thoughts: If you are a fan of waterballs (snowglobes, etc.) as I am and if you have ever listened to or even seen Mannheim Steamroller in concert then you will love this waterball. It is the castle they use in their concerts and the bottom once you wind it up has the steamrollers moving to some original Mannheim Christmas music. It was well worth the purchase!
