6.3 ft Inflatable Santa and Reindeer with Built-In LED Lights

Description

Santa standing behind a tan reindeer in a green scarf, one hand raised, the pair lit from inside by four LEDs. It is the most conventional arrangement in this group and that is its strength: if you want one piece that says Christmas from the road without any explanation, this is it.

Inflated it measures 61 x 31.5 x 74.8 in (155 x 80 x 190 cm). The 74.8 in height is 6.23 ft, which is what the 6.3 ft label refers to, and the 61 in width accounts for the reindeer standing alongside. Plan for a spot roughly five feet wide and six feet tall, clear of low branches and porch overhangs.

Power and placement

An adapter and built-in fan run the piece from a standard household outlet, and the fan has to stay powered for the whole time it is displayed. The nearest outdoor outlet will decide where this goes more than the landscaping will, so measure that run first. Use an outdoor rated extension cord plugged into a GFCI outlet if you need to get further out onto the lawn, and route the cord along a bed edge rather than across a walkway where it will be tripped over or caught by a shovel.

Anchoring

Six ground stakes and two securing ropes are included. Stake all six points on grass. On a driveway, a patio or frozen ground the stakes will not hold, and sandbags at the base are the working alternative. A six foot figure is a substantial sail in wind, so when a real wind warning is out the right move is to deflate it for the night rather than add more rope.

Polyester with plastic fittings, shipped at 3.31 lbs in a box of roughly 24 x 16 x 22 cm. It deflates in under a minute, folds down and stores for the rest of the year.

A word on timing. Handling runs one to three business days and transit five to nine, so Monday December 7 is the last order date that clears Christmas with room to spare. A Santa and reindeer is the single most requested shape in outdoor inflatables every year, and it is the first to go out of stock, so order earlier in the season if you can.
