25. Floating Globe with LED Lights $

Making the cut for iconic centerpieces, this Floating Metal Globe is certainly a conversation starter. The inner magnetic ends of the horseshoe-shaped stand attract the metal globe with equal forces and thus render it afloat in between.

Each glaze is set at 3600 degrees in 3 hrs with a low success rate, separating it from other cheap pendants. It is bound to a thick and long leather cord and comes packed inside an exquisite gift box. I am sure that the smile on the face of the receiver will be worth every penny spent.

31.  Rotating Jupiter MOVA Globe With Three-Pronged Stand $$$

Not all astronomy enthusiasts get to land on other planets but other planets can certainly land at your homes. MOVA invented a cordless solar-based method to keep the handmade acrylic shell (any planet; here, Jupiter) rotating on the three-legged bases. Magnets are used to generate torque and solar cells to generate power. The non-toxic fluid-filled globe will start rotating as soon as any ambient light falls on it. You can give it as a novelty gift to anyone on any occasion.

32.  Earth with Clouds MOVA Globe $$$

Just the same as above, this globe represents Earth. It has 4.5 inches of diameter and 7 inches long with base. It looks elegant and engrossing but if you like you can switch to the globe with the world map etched on it. Just place the globe anywhere and watch it rotate in awe every time you pass by.

From small Celestial pendant necklace to Galaxy Sweatpants and NASA Bombers, every gift has its charm and gravity (pun intended!). Some are focused on fun and learning and others convey your love and care for your close ones. Choose the ideal fit for the occasion and giftee and tell me why you chose it on the My Comment Page.
