There are <b>Scarlett O'Hara</b> snow globes????

I might be missing something but as long as everyone knows that liquids are not allowed on board, snow globe owners ( especially the really smart ones who bought Scarlett O'Hara snow globes) can wrap them in bubble wrap and take them in luggage.
If we were able to bring 4 bottles of wine from Argentina, a snow globe is a piece of cake.. :)

I have never had a snow globe since I purchased one from a department store. Brought it home, laid the box on the table, opened the box, removed the snow globe and it exploded in my hands. I kid you not! I had tiny pieces of glass in my hair, on my clothes, all over the dining room. And it is a wonder I didn't have a heart attack. I contacted the departmet store manager and he asked me to &quot;return the snow globe&quot;. Hello?? What part of the conversation did he not understand, lol.

The store and the manufacture were so lucky I didn't have injuries. I am not one to ever sue but....

Oh yes, they credited my credit card for the cost of the snow globe. Ever since than I stay far far away from them lol.

Saks Fifth Avenue Department Store in NYC has little Saks snowglobes on all of the tables in their restaurant. I love them :)

I think it's quite amusing that some posters think that &quot;touristy&quot; stores should start warning customers about what they can and cannot carry on a plane! That's ridiculous! It is not their job to pack our suitcases nor to know our transportation situations to and from their cities!

How and why does a person newly register in order to respond to a post from 8 years ago?

gail--Perhaps the topic is of interest to them. I know I learned something from reading this thread.

Actually to advertise a website . . .

I wonder if Fodor's has ever considered a "This discussion is too old and cannot be responded to" option. I've seen it just about everywhere except here.
