Best for

Choose custom snow globes if your moment is client christmas gifting, property launch and off-plan hampers or hospitality and retail end-of-year gifts.

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.

Property launch and off-plan hampers

Commission a custom resin figurine of the building or precinct inside a 80mm globe on a timber base. Handed to buyers at settlement, kept on the shelf as a memento of the purchase.

Hospitality and retail end-of-year gifts

Branded 65mm globes with the venue illustration inside, paired with a panettone or a bottle of something lovely — the kind of thoughtful touch guests remember into the new year.

Internal staff recognition and long-service awards

Laser-etched timber base with the recipient's name and tenure, a figurine representing the milestone, presented at the end-of-year gathering. Treasured more than a plaque.

The photo-insert globes arrived beautifully wrapped and landed with our top 200 clients the week before Christmas. We had partners texting us photos on Boxing Day — which is every brand manager's dream.

How to choose

Start with the moment, not the globe. If this is landing in a client's hand at a Christmas lunch, the opening matters as much as the object itself — brief us on the packaging, the ribbon, the card, and the globe becomes the centrepiece of a considered gift. If it's a memento for a property launch or milestone, the figurine is the brief: a custom resin sculpt of the building, the coastline, the bottle, the campaign hero. Allow 6-10 weeks for custom figurines; the sculpting and mould work is where the craft lives. On size: 45mm minis suit delegate packs and mass Christmas mailouts where unit economics matter. 65mm is the sweet spot for client gifting — substantial in the hand without being heavy in the post. 80mm and 100mm read as luxury display pieces, best for VIP hampers and long-service awards. For budget-conscious briefs, a photo-insert globe uses a printed disc inside the globe rather than a sculpted figurine — full-colour digital, lower unit cost, 3-5 week lead time. Still beautifully finished; the creative thinking is in the image you choose. For premium briefs, the custom resin figurine is where the story lives: sculpted to your reference, hand-painted, moulded into the base. Pair either with a laser-etched timber base and the whole thing reads as gallery-grade. Finally, think about the packaging as part of the brief. A rigid gift box with tissue and branded ribbon turns a AU$12 globe into a AU$60-feeling gift. The opening moment is where brands earn their keep.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb: at 100 units, a 45mm mini snow globe with a photo insert sits around AU$6.50-$9, a 65mm standard with a photo insert AU$10-$15, and a 65mm with a stock resin figurine AU$13-$18. Premium 80mm globes with custom resin figurines on a timber base land at AU$22-$28 per unit at 100qty. At 500 units those drop 20-35%. Custom figurine sculpting and moulding is a one-time setup of AU$450-$1,200 depending on complexity. Gift-box packaging adds AU$2.50-$8 per unit.

Delivery across Australia

Delivered Australia-wide — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra. Custom snow globes need 6-10 weeks for resin figurine briefs and 3-5 weeks for photo-insert builds, so we recommend locking artwork by late September for Christmas landings. Free shipping on orders over AU$500. We kit, split-ship to multiple offices, and run timed-release dispatch so your client gifts arrive the week you want them opened.

Frequently asked questions

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.
