We all get stuck for ideas for a gift for somebody special, there are many personalised gifts these days but often uninspired and have somebodies name on say a handkerchief, tankard etc.
So how about a gift that conjures up a favourite memory of a place either because its been visited or because its a dream city or country.
What about buying a Globee – a beautiful illustrated globe depicting key landmarks, historic buildings and streets of major cities around the world?
Globees are exclusively designed maps of cities around the world that have been beautifully crafted onto globes, to provide a permanent and artistic view of everyone’s own favourite places and memories. Already Globees feature many of the best loved cities around the world. From the much loved historic London to the brash lights of Las Vegas, from the romantic river banks and cathedrals of Paris to the gondolas and artistic heritage of Venice, each Globee is designed to evoke the best memories of that special visit.
These customised globes called Globees are the inspiration of David Sinclair, MD who after a brainwave in the middle of the night, set to work designing and creating these unique gifts.
Now I got engaged in Paris and am about to celebrate 10 years of marriage, Chris and I often talk about returning and the only sadness was that we had no souvenir apart from a candle from Notre Dame Cathedral which is very old looking now.
So a souvenir of a treasured special time in a beautiful city at a time in our life important to us would be a great gift. New Globee cities are being added and I am looking forward to seeing more places that may be special to my friends and family for Christmas gifts.
I can see the potential of these in many peoples lives, a place where somebody married, honeymooned, their birthplace, served their army training, the occasions and places are endless.
Globees come with a 16pp booklet packed with interesting facts and figures about the city - are educational and fun - and are great for adults and children alike. Retailing from £14.95 to £24.95, Globees are available in selected John Lewis and WH Smith stores, Crest of London, together with tourist shops throughout the UK and abroad.
The company is also launching a range of children’s illustrated story books later in the year, to be sold alongside Globees. The full range of products will also include Globee key rings, bears, money boxes, Christmas baubles and will soon include talking Globees. In addition, Globees of Bath and Liverpool are due to be launched at the end of 2010, and plans to create Globees of Barcelona and Dublin are in progress.
A very unique and inspired gift.
