When I think of snowballs, I think of cakes coated in frosting and coconut. These have always been Russian Tea Cakes in my family. I think it conjures a really elegant image of them being served on ornate, gold embellished china.

The Wikipedia article on Russian Tea Cakes has some interesting information about the cookie's origins. Calling them Snow Balls is apparently common, but they are technically not the same as Mexican Wedding Cakes, although very similar. Mexican Wedding Cakes include anise, while these do not.

One other thought...if turned on its side, you could add a few shelves that would act as dividers if you ever wanted to use it for storage later. But upright it could be used as an end table that opens to reveal a bookshelf or a mini-bar.

Do you have the space and a need for a blanket trunk in your bedroom? I think it would look nice at the end of a bed.
