Portmeirion Sara Miller London Frosted Pines Snow Globe - 6.5” Dolomite Musical Christmas Home Décor, Featuring Whimsical Woodland Animals in a Modern Winter Forest Design Cozy Winter Gift Idea

Got this as a Christmas gift for a good friend and she absolutely loves it. The snow globe is a fairly good size and has got some heft to it. I absolutely adore Sara Miller London Frosted Pines (I have the coasters and appetizer plates as well) and the fact that this snow globe exists is just incredible. The glass is crystal clear. The LED light is strong and casts a beautiful ambiance within the trees. The music is a welcome surprise as most snow globes do not play music and the ones that do typically require winding up. The biggest WOW factor for my friend was when she saw the snow being blown around without shaking up the globe. Such a nice modern amenity! This did not include any batteries but I had some readily on hand to ensure she could enjoy her gift immediately.

Let me start by saying that this is a beautiful decorative piece. However, if you expect your pump to keep the snow suspended then I have to disappoint you, because it won't. Also, the pump is do loud that it makes listening to the music unpleasant. I gave it 2 stars for design points, but I'm still disappointed that I didn't listen to the other reviewers.

The globe is very cloudy and there is stuff floating all in it!! VERY DISAPPOINTED especially since I paid about $55 for it!!

I began a snowglobe collection for my granddaughter several years ago. Each one was a Christmas theme or a "to my granddaughter". Well, she is now thirteen. I saw this globe by Sara Miller and felt it was the perfect transition piece for a young lady. My granddaughter loves it. The music, light, and simplicity of the trees are bringing her great joy.

Birthday gift for cousin she'd loved it

This is a really nice snow globe. Unfortunately, I got one with a broken pump. This is not the type of snow globe do you shake up. I wish it was. You have to turn it on and then a small pump disperses the snow with an LED light built in as well. I'm sure it's very nice when it works. I'm not sure why they would do it this way and not make it manual, but it is what it is. Otherwise, it's nice and heavy. Clarity is wonderful. Design is fantastic. Very modern, but not cold. Would work perfectly in a modern home design.

Wow, what a disappointment. The appearance of the snow globe is terrific - loved it. It's a modern take on a winter scene, I loved the design and colors - fabulous. BUT the music is horrible - because it makes this loud grinding noise at the same time! I didn't need (or even expect) to have the music so that's okay - but even if you turn on the light, which I did want, you get the same awful grinding noise! I just cannot believe the designer and/or manufacturer created this! Very disappointing. But I appreciate Amazon's return policy!!
