Ever had trouble thinking about something to get for someone in your life that travels or has a case of serious wanderlust? One thing that I can undoubtedly say that we travelers are all a huge fan of is globes. Seems simple, right? Not so much. I remember my first globe as a child. Even then, it made me want to explore. Something about seeing the world as it is and seeing all of the countries laid out in this way is truly inspiring.
The world’s largest manufacturer of globes, Replogle Globes, started in an apartment in Chicago. Even today 99% of their globes are handcrafted in the USA. With a huge variety of gorgeous globes to choose from, you can’t go wrong! Here are a few that you may particularly enjoy:
This desktop globe has a stainless steel base and is perfect for your office or desk at home!
This floor globe is the perfect addition to any home! Its sleek look makes for a tasteful and modern decoration.
I love the stand on this one! This tabletop globe was made from an adaptation of one of Frank Llyod Wright’s designs for a planter in the pyramid-shaped Beth Sholom Synagogue in Elkins Park, PA.
