The Globee makes a fabulous Christmas present — the Oxford design has just been launched and we have five to give away to lucky readers!

The attractive and innovative Globees are exclusively designed maps of cities around the world that have been carefully crafted onto globes, to provide a permanent and artistic view of everyone’s own favourite places and memories.

Already Globees feature many of the best-loved cities. From the historic sights of London to the bright lights of Las Vegas, from the romantic riverbanks and cathedrals of Paris to the gondolas and artistic heritage of Venice, each globee is designed to evoke the best memories of that special visit.

And now our very own University city of Oxford has joined the Globee ranks. To celebrate this we are giving away Oxford Globees to five lucky readers in our This is Christmas magazine competition.

The Globee appeals to all ages — as an innovative souvenir of treasured times in beautiful places, as a gift to a family member or friend, or for a child as an educational aid. Like all maps they are enchanting and engaging.

Launched this year by the family firm Globee Limited, based in Kent, stockists include John Lewis, The Royal Collection, WH Smith, The British Museum, The Parliamentary Bookshop and Fenwick. There is vast interest from the USA, including The Washington National Archives and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Globees are also being shipped to France, Italy and Japan.

All Globees comes in three different diameters — four-inch, £19.95, six-inch, £24.95, and eight-inch, £29.95.

They are available on a brushed silver stand as well as in a free-standing version and come with a 16-page booklet packed with interesting facts about the historic city and tourist sites depicted on the globe.

Globees are also available as a money box. Prices range from £11.95 to £19.95.

The list of Globee cities is growing rapidly and other items in the pipeline include Globee city puzzles, Globee umbrellas — beautifully embroidered with a map of your favourite city —Globee Christmas baubles, Globee Bears and Talking Globees.

We have five six-inch Oxford Globees, each worth £24.95, complete with information booklets, to give away.

Just send your name, address and daytime telephone number, on a postcard, to: This is Christmas Globee Competition, Promotions Department, Newsquest Oxfordshire, Osney Mead, Oxford OX2 0EJ, to arrive no later than, Friday, November 5, 2010.

Normal Newsquest competition rules apply and the editor’s decision is final.
