Admittedly there are people out there that just don’t like rules for no reason that they can articulate, but this one is not difficult. We would rather you pack them in your checked baggage and deliver them to your friends/loved one’s at the end of your trip than be forced to leave them at the checkpoint.

I certainly don’t want your snow globe from Vermont or Switzerland, and I would think that if it is important enough to you to actually lay down your hard earned cash for it that you could read and attempt to understand the rules concerning them. The words are not all that big.
