The tackiest accessory of all time is back with a vengeance as a kitsch item. We just love these snowballs designed in Holland.
The most wanted model: a little girl wearing an Eskimo coat
Snowballs had their dark period: there was a time when we all thought they were incredibly tacky, a cheap souvenir, and a grotesque home accessory. Some people still think so, but this decorative accessory is actually incredibly poetic (capable of containing an entire city, with adverse weather conditions, inside), and it's now reclaiming its own sort of revival as far as kitsch items go.
We've done a bit of research on the Internet and discovered a collection of snowballs designed in Holland; it was love at first sight for us. Inside, the snowballs contain a series of Christmas characters with an updated modern touch: a little Eskimo girl, a deer, a polar bear and a white rabbit.
They're both simple and enthralling. And, of course, when you shake the ball it'll start to snow inside. These snowballs are the perfect Christmas decoration, or you can leave them on the shelf 365 days a year.
