We have lots of options available for holiday gifts!
We can suggest a 12cm, 22cm, 36cm or 50cm “Quick Delivery” globe for something available to ship within days of ordering. These are globes made in our most popular colours with choice of base and personalised engraving. All of these globes sit and spin on ball bearings to spin 360 degrees in all directions by hand.
— or if you would like the giftee to design their own bespoke globe then we suggest a Gift Card. They can then work with us to choose the colour, base, and options of added personalisation.
We ship worldwide and during the holidays we can help up until December 24th in London.
Any questions on the options, process, or timeline – please email info@bellerbyglobemakers.com and you will hear back same day if not within a few minutes!

Process & Options
The colours showing are the colours available, if you do not see a colour you were hoping for, get in touch to find out if we are nearing completion with one. Otherwise what is showing online – is what is available. We usually sell-out each December – so we do recommend you not wait to order.
To see the colour, use the drop-down the select the sizing, globe colour and base. You can choose “choose base later” and finalise later in writing via email, and you can also send your engraving choice via email when ready. You do not have to have your final choice of base or engraving to place your order and reserve your colour choice.
Flight Cases & Passports
All globes ship in a “flight case” perfect for gift giving – along with a “Passport” which documents the details of your globe – where it was made and by who – a bit of the process – and is a certificate of authentication.

Gift Cards – Custom Made World Globe
You can book in with a generic deposit based on any sized globe and have a gift card sent pre Christmas. We can write a card for you or send to you with an empty page to add a personalised message.
With a deposit towards a globe we can send a card worldwide that includes a hand painted strip of the world map in your choice of colour and location.
Linked here on our website. The card represents what is to come – You can then design the globe and surprise the recipient – or you can allow the recipient to have the unique experience of designing their own globe.
It is so rare these days to be able to be part of the process of creating something one-of-a-kind. We will work with the recipient to choose the colouring, base style, base finish, and options of added personalisation. If you prefer to put a specific amount towards a globe rather than a deposit – please use this link.
