Whether you go for the intriguing styles of yesteryear or today’s exciting designs, kaleidoscope stands put the spotlight on your favorite works of art.

Highlight the unique beauty of each kaleidoscope you own with a kaleidoscope stand that’s stylish in its own right. Kaleidoscope stands are available in a wide range of materials and sizes to complement your kaleidoscopes and enhance your decor.

In addition to drawing the eye to your kaleidoscopes, stands are the perfect kaleidoscope accessories to protect your collection from harm.

Kaleidoscope stands are helpful in any room, but especially in children’s bedrooms, playrooms or other living areas where active kids play. Protect your investment in handmade collectible kaleidoscopes with stands in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your needs.

The Perfect Present for Every Kaleidoscope Collector

Posted on November 28, 2014 by | Comments Off on The Perfect Present for Every Kaleidoscope Collector

When the holidays arrive, it’s time to think about kaleidoscope Christmas gifts for your favorite collector. Besides the traditional display, there are many other options that will bring joy to gift giving.

A creative twist on a traditional kaleidoscope is a teleidoscope. This instrument has a lens and an open view, so it forms a pattern from objects outside instead of items inside. Choose a hand-crafted, solid wood design as an elegant gift idea. The beauty and intrigue of a teleidoscope will bring about many compliments and provide hours of entertainment!

Teleidoscope

Any woman who collects kaleidoscopes will love a necklace with a teleidoscope kaleidoscope pendant! Besides adding a touch of elegance to the wardrobe, this jewelry will blend with more expensive pieces and become a family heirloom.

An inexpensive and impressive gift is a pocket kaleidoscope. A person can take this piece anywhere. Instead of a bulky item that must remain at home, this product can be brought to parties or social events and used as an ice-breaker.

Unique kaleidoscope Christmas gifts make the holiday extra special, especially to an avid collector. The above items are just a sample of the available possibilities. You can see all of our kaleidoscope Christmas gifts at KaleidoscopesToYou.com!

Collecting Kaleidoscopes is a Fun Hobby

Posted on July 18, 2014 by | Comments Off on Collecting Kaleidoscopes is a Fun Hobby

As a kaleidoscope collector, you’re always looking for something unique to put on your shelves. Whether your passion is wooden kaleidoscopes, stained glass kaleidoscopes or another type, establishing a relationship with a retailer like Kaleidoscopes to You is essential, as you can be assured of the quality of the model you purchase. We’re also an excellent source for finding unique kaleidoscopes to add to your collection. Wooden kaleidoscopes

When beginning a kaleidoscope collection, you’ll want to start with an example of many different types, including wooden kaleidoscopes, wheel scopes, two-mirror and three-mirror models, mounted kaleidoscopes, or anything else that suits your fancy.

There is no single correct way to display your collection, as it all depends on your preferences. Some collectors display their kaleidoscopes on a series of shelves, while others scatter them throughout their homes. One fact to keep in mind, however, is to keep your models out of direct sunlight. Light and heat can cause wooden ones to crack, while those made of other materials may be prone to fading.

Although most individuals think of kaleidoscopes as a cheap toy from their childhood, they are slowly becoming an arts form with many different craftspeople creating unique models. As such, their value as an investment is not yet known, but you may assume that more unique pieces will appreciate in value.
