There’s no question that outdoor holiday decorating is a labor of love. From scoping out low-lift ideas that won’t blow your budget to bringing that vision of twinkling lights, wreaths, and garland to life, the whole thing can be kind of a lot! One way to cut yourself some slack while doing right by your mood board? Blow-up yard and porch decorations.
If inflatables call to mind the herd of cartoonish reindeer, blobby Santas, and all-day drone of air pumps from your childhood suburbs, hear us out: They—like pool floats and Halloween yard decorations—have come a long way. Funboy, which has gone viral for its super-Instagrammable floaties and spooky-chic blow-up pumpkins, has a new Christmas collection out that convinced us to give blow-up holiday decor a second chance. The collection even comes in colors that aren’t red and green, for those who prefer to mix things up a little when festive season rolls around.
First up: Funboy’s light-up candy-striped globe ornaments, which come in a size-assorted pack of three. Their weighted bases mean you won’t be chasing them across neighbors’ lawns when winter weather rolls in, and with 16 color options for their internal LED bulbs, “redecorating” is as easy as pushing a button. One other thing we found de-light-ful about these? They can bring holiday spirit to even the mildest climates because the company backs them as pool decor, too. But the real stars of this show are Funboy’s inflatable nutcrackers. They’re meant to stay standing on land but are weatherproof, and their weighted design also makes them windproof. With 3.5- or 5-foot-tall options, they’re perfect for a maximalist mix-and-match moment. And like the globe ornaments and the collection’s multipack of incandescent-style inflatable bulbs, they have a cheery vintage vibe that feels perfectly retro and chic.
