Inflatable Christmas Decorations

Make your home stand out with inflatable Christmas decorations

One of the best ways to get them in the Christmas spirit is by setting up cheerful inflatables that bring your outdoor space to life. Choose from timeless favourites like an inflatable Santa, snowman, or Christmas tree, or opt for something different, like a towering 6-foot dinosaur or a group of penguins.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make Christmas inflatables stay up?

The best way to ensure your inflatable Christmas decorations stay upright is to attach them firmly to a stake in the ground. However, if you can't do this, you can also weigh them down with sandbags or other heavy objects. If you're using ropes to hold them in place, make sure the ropes aren't going to rub on anything and potentially wear away or snap.

Can you leave Christmas inflatables on all night?

We don't recommend leaving your Christmas inflatables on all night. It's best to give them a break and switch them off after running them for around 8 hours at a time. If you're worried about forgetting, you can use a timer socket to make sure your inflatable decorations go down after a certain time.

Do Christmas inflatables use a lot of electricity?

How much electricity your Christmas inflatable uses will depend on its size. Generally speaking, an inflatable decoration will use around 140-150 watts of energy per hour. This can sometimes be less than other Christmas lights. Depending on your electricity provider, this can equate to around £0.01p per hour to run one Christmas inflatable. However, this cost can change due to various reasons, so it's best to monitor your electricity usage and bill when using inflatables.

Should you unplug inflatables in the rain?

At Homebase, our Christmas inflatables are made out of waterproof polyester (IP44) and can withstand staying up in the rain. However, you need to make sure you have a waterproof electrical box for your power plug. If you don't have a waterproof box, it can be dangerous to keep your inflatable plugged in when it rains.

How do you fix a hole in an inflatable Christmas decoration?

You can easily fix a hole in your Christmas inflatable with repair tape. Use either fabric repair tape, waterproof repair tape or UV repair patches for the best results.
