All I Want for Christmas is a Life-Sized Snow Globe!

OMG! Take a look at this! Add this to my "Things I Want, But Never Gonna Get" Christmas Wish List! How cool would it be to own one of these?

A must for that next over the top Holiday Party. Seriously, I wonder what it is like to be inside. Your own personal little bubble world with swirling confetti.

Also a crowd pleaser because this concept is so versatile. You could have the Nutcracker Ballerina inside as pictured; but possibilities are endless. How about a little Snowman. Toy Soldier. Santa. Elves. The list goes on and on....

Seriously though... you know you want one!
