Broken snow globe... please help

I know this is a long shot but I'm hoping some one might be able to help. My little lad has a snow globe he adores and unfortunately today I've broken it. He's gutted. I'm desperately trying to either get it repaired and find another but neither seem to be an option. I dont suppose any one can help.i feel awful. It was originally a mini one from the card factory. Thankyou for your help x

If you can remove the glass safely you can easily buy replacement glass (or plastic 😉) domes online to glue into place

But honestly, as much as kids love things, I can almost guarantee in a few days he will have forgotten about this

Thankyou so much for replying so quickly. I feel awful knowing it was me whose done it. Ill try and find the replacement glass and give it a go. Thanks again x

Check vinted to see if someone is selling one; I can see snow globes on there from the same range.

This. We had the most gorgeous Tinker Bell one that was like a work of art (and I usually hate Disney tat). It was dropped and Tink’s head fell off (which was gruesome swirling around) and my dd was heartbroken. I looked for years on eBay to try and find a replacement to no avail. She’s 21 now and living her best life at uni. She probably doesn’t even remember it!

Moral of the story - Mourn it and move on.

They don’t always forget. My dd is nearly 30, and it was only last year that she realized the stuffed
monkey she lost in London when she was 5 was not the same monkey that miraculously found its way home (after her dad scoured the London Zoo hunting for one the same colour!)and still sits on her pillow every day!

Sandy89xx · 09/05/2025 19:31

Aww no way bless her. I know i still hold onto a few things from when I was younger and I'd be gutted if I lost them. His brother still goes on about toys he's had for years. I'm desperately trying for him x

Amazon sells replacement globes

A quick Google has turned up Sarah Warriner from York on FB.

Buy one from Vinted from the same range and so you best surgery to fit the globe.
