The Globee illustrated globe depicts key landmarks and historic buildings of major cities around the world
(09/09/2010)

If you're stuck for a birthday or Christmas gift idea, you should consider a Globee – a beautiful illustrated globe depicting key landmarks, historic buildings and streets of major cities around the world. There are Globees for London, Edinburgh and Cambridge, GB, as well as popular overseas destinations including Berlin, Las Vegas, New York, Paris, Rome, Sydney, and Venice.

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.

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.

Individual Globees will retail at £14.95 for a 4 inch globe, £19.95 for 6 inch and £24.95 for 8 inch.
