World globes are educational, interesting, and beautiful. They’re also available in nearly endless varieties, ranging from small world globes that are fit for travel to large world globes on stands. Remembering these key points will help focus your search when shopping for a globe of the world:


  • Size: Globes come in almost every size, including tiny globe keychains and large world globes. Choose a size based on whether you want to carry your globe with you or give it center stage on a desk, table, or bookcase.
  • Color: Many world globe maps feature traditional colors like blue, green, and yellow. Others make a bold statement with shades of gold, black, brown, and red.
  • Style: Globes come in a variety of styles ranging from retro to modern. A vintage world globe is a nostalgic conversation piece, and an abstract metal globe adds a sophisticated touch to an industrial-style home.
  • Material: When choosing between materials, consider how you will use your globe. A cork Earth globe makes it easy to put a pin in every place you’ve visited, while a carved wooden globe is an elegant decoration for a living or dining room.
  • Features: Today’s globes do more than just spin. Raised or textured surfaces highlight mountain ranges and other natural features, and world globe lamps shine a light on your favorite places.
  • Age: Globes have existed for centuries, and you’ll find globes reflecting the world at every stage. Modern globes show the planet as it currently exists, while old-world globes allow you to explore the geography of the past.


No matter what type of globe you prefer, the sellers on Etsy offer world globes to keep as a decoration in your own home or to give to a loved one for a wedding, birthday, or anniversary.
