An inflatable snow globe An inflatable snow globe is a Christmas ornament that is inflated by an air pump and mimics a classic snow globe. They are usually quite tall and designed to be used as an outdoor adornment. There are, however, little variants. Walk-in inflatable snow globes feature the basic shape of a standard snow globe and are available in a variety of variations. They have unique features, most notably the snow that actually flies around inside them. Most often, an inflatable snow globe for people is part of a holiday display in front of a home. They have become increasingly popular and can be seen wherever holiday decorations are found. The most common sizes are 6 feet (1.83 meters) and 8 feet (2.44 meters) in height. There is also a tabletop version meant for indoor use that typically runs about 15 inches (38 cm) tall. An inflatable snow globe keeps its inflation by being connected to an electric air pump that keeps air flowing through the structure.

Features of inflatable snow globes

Like traditional snow globes, airblown inflatable snow globes have a spherical shape, enclosing a decorative scene. Since clear inflatable snow globes are most often used for winter holiday decoration, they typically have a holiday character or symbol inside of them. Possibly the most interesting feature of an outdoor inflatable snow globe, and what makes it classified as a snow globe, is the snow that flies around inside the sphere. This effect is achieved by the air pump blowing over a million small white pellets all around the snow globe. An additional feature that may be found in some large inflatable snow globes is an internal light that illuminates the whole structure. This works well for consumers who want to use their inflatable snow globe as part of a traditional Christmas-light decor. Some inflatable snow globes play their music or have motion-activated animation.

Materials used in inflatable snow globes

Most people are familiar with the traditional snow globes that have long been enjoyed as keepsakes and decorations. These water-filled snow globes are made out of glass and have a specific character or scene inside. With a little shaking, snow flies around the entire globe. An inflatable snow globe creates the same effect with different materials. Inflatable snow globes with blowing snows are usually made out of a thin nylon material that is lightweight and can be inflated easily, and instead of water, they are filled with air. The Inflatable is airtight, which means one can inflate the globe and remove the blower without losing any air in the Snow Globe. Most outdoor inflatable snow globes are made of fire-retardant, commercial vinyl. Additionally, most Christmas inflatable snow globe models are lead-free and lightweight, and the globe area does not have an inflatable base but has a vinyl floor. The custom inflatable snow globes might sometimes come with LED light connection areas around the globe and a background image that is removable with velcro so owners can swap for other images.
