What is the difference between the effects of the snowglobe and the glowing emerald leaf, excepting that one costs 300 dingbats and one is a free prize for the month?

I'm kind of feeling like the leaf was an even more (distressing) purchase at this point than it already was. :/ So hopefully there is some difference / use for it!

I see a post was made in-game a couple of minutes after this which explains what can be done, thank you!

Subj: Happy Solstice!

I hope everyone is having a joyous solstice and holiday season! Our good
friend Ironbeard has returned so keep an eye out for that gift giving
drunken little bundle of good cheer!

For those of you doing the Giving Tree quest, you will note that you
receive a special aetherspace bubble artifact that takes you to the Tree
of Trees! If you already have the artifact that does the same thing (the
leaf artifact) and have the snowglobe, you can refund the leaf artifact
for a full refund, if you wish.

Don't forget, there's a 30% promotional holiday sale ongoing (40% for
elite members) and we will be donating 10% of the proceeds to the Red
Cross.

Tis the season!

And with that, I shall close this topic.
