Buying Guide
When shopping for the best Christmas inflatables, there are several factors to consider to ensure that you get the perfect product that meets your needs.
Size
Make sure the inflatable is the right size for your outdoor space. If you have a small yard, consider a smaller inflatable like our 1.6m Santa, while a larger yard can accommodate a statement piece like the 3.8m Santa Dinosaur or the Santa Sleigh with Reindeer.
Design
Choose a design that fits your personal style and matches your other outdoor decorations, from classic Santa and snowman designs through to novelty pieces.
Durability
Look for inflatables made from durable, weather-resistant polyester so they can withstand Australian sun, rain and wind across the festive season.
Lighting
All of our inflatables come with built-in LED lighting, so your display looks just as good at night as it does during the day.
Ease of Setup
Every inflatable self-inflates using a built-in fan and comes with ground stakes and tie-down points for windy nights – unbox, peg down, and plug in.
By considering these factors, you can choose the best Christmas inflatable to add a festive touch to your outdoor decor this holiday season. Browse our full range here.
