- "San Antonio World's Fair" Snow Globe, circa 1968 - Tourist attractions offered souvenir seekers something new beginning in the 1950s: inexpensive plastic snow globes. These evolved from fancier versions through innovations in plastics and manufacturing technology, and they quickly became connected with travel. Snow globes were fun to collect, easy to transport, and served as both proof of the journey and a lasting representation of vacation memories.
