Buy a Globe
Deciding to
buy a globe as a gift for yourself or someone
else is an excellent decision. There is really no substitute for the 3
dimensional replica of our earth. Buy a globe for anyone you know who shares
your “world view”.
BUY A GLOBE FOR EVERYONE - 1-World Globes presents the
world’s largest selection of globes. We believe that a
globe is the perfect gift
and that if you buy a globe for everyone on your list, your gift(s) will be long
remembered and well appreciated.
BUY A GLOBE BY SIZE – Globes are measured by diameter, meaning the distance
straight through the middle of the globe. Most globes are manufactured in
standard sizes:
• Small
Globes: 6” – 9”
• Medium
Desk Globes: 12” – 14”
• Medium
Floor Globes 12" -- 14"
• Large
Globes: 16”
• Extra Large
Globes: 20” – 32”
BUY A GLOBE THAT IS ILLUMINATED OR NOT?
• Illuminated globes allow a lovely, ambient light to radiate softly from the
globe. A lit illuminated globe makes a beautiful “night light” in any room.
• Illuminated globe balls are made of plastic, so that the light can show
through the translucent sphere. If you wish to buy a globe that is not plastic,
do not choose an illuminated globe.
• Illuminated globes do include an electrical cord that will plug into the wall.
This will dictate where you place the globe (near an outlet) and will restrict
the movement or spinning action of the globe to a certain extent.
BUY A GLOBE THAT IS POLITICAL – Political globes are globes that feature
countries in solid blocks of color, usually with extensive labeling. Most of our
globes are considered political.
BUY A GLOBE THAT IS PHYSICAL – Physical globes use color to illustrate the
natural colors of the earth. Climate conditions and landforms are shown with
coloration.
BUY A GLOBE THAT HAS A BLUE OCEAN
• Most people think of the earth with oceans of blue.
• We recommend blue ocean globes for
kids and students.
BUY A GLOBE THAT HAS AN “ANTIQUE OCEAN”
• “Antique Oceans” refer to the color of parchment paper which results in an
antique look to the globe. These globes feature current cartography and are only
antique in color.
• Antique Ocean globes are most popular for home and office décor.
BUY A GLOBE WITH RAISED RELIEF
• Raised relief globes feature texture on the globe’s surface to indicate the
earth’s terrain. Mountain ranges and sometimes undersea features as well are
presented in raised and indented relief.
BUY A GLOBE
THAT SHOWS DAY AND NIGHT
• Day and Night type globes are illuminated and are designed to show the pattern
of the sun on the earth. Some globes also indicate the twilight rings and the
apex of the sun.
• Day and Night globes are useful teaching aids for students learning about the
earth and its relation to the position of the Sun.
• Businesses find Day and Night globes useful to determine time of day in global
markets.
• Day and Night globes are fun and interesting, sure to inspire conversation.
BUY A GEMSTONE GLOBE
•
Gemstone Globes have become a highly prized gift item, featuring globes made
entirely of gemstones. Oceans of ground
Blue Lapis,
Black Onyx,
Mother of Pearl,
Aqua Quartz and others surround continents that consist of hand-carved gemstone
countries. The gemstone countries are fitted with skill and precision, creating
a colorful and fascinating mosaic.
• A wonderfully rich and extravagant gift for someone who “means the world to
you.”

cartographic reproductions in a variety of sizes.
