One house in a nearby neighborhood has a huge yard FULLLLLL of them. We're talking at least 30. In a mass quantity they are ok just because of the pure oddity they create. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations/page/2#post-1265113 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 11:30:37 +0000 Rescuemom10 1265113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our oldest who is 10 loves them. Granted mine dont get seen unless you come to our house. You cant see our house from the end of the driveway. I also hate how they look deflated during the day...so I keep them going all the time lol.<br /> I love decorating for xmas...have to admit. The inflatable ones dont take up much room at least. Easy storage because they are so small. The kids love em, so thats all I care about.<br /> But they are not my favorite. DH loves them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations/page/2#post-1264808 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:57:57 +0000 LovelyPlum 1264808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally, no. What bothers me most about them is that when the lights get turned off, they deflate, and I think that looks horrible. Ugh.</p> <p>I can see how little ones would like them, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264769 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:42:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 1264769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I think they look tacky in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264741 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:28:46 +0000 pui 1264741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264740 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:28:40 +0000 Beebug 1264740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Our neighbours just got this massive snow globe looking one with three on motorcycles spinning around inside it! </p> <p>It's huge and so, so awful! We are the 5th house on our street, houses 1, 2 and 3 have beautiful lights, us too (biased, ours are best, lol) then the 4th house just threw down this snow globe of inflatable motorcyclists to keep up.....so tacky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264724 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:24:26 +0000 swurlygurl 1264724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I'm the same way! I like looking at them in other people's yards, but I don't want my own.</p> <p>My parents had one while I was growing up (a plain snowman) and it was set up right outside my bedroom window. Dad always forgot to turn it off before he went to bed, so I'd wake up in the middle of the night to a creepy glowing snowman... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264657 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:51:01 +0000 mlm2934 1264657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan!</p> <p>There is only one instance where I like them a little. My old route to work, there was a house that would put one blow up for every holiday, so that was fun. They had one for lots of holidays - valentine's, St Patricks, Easter, Memorial/Labor Day, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264651 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:48:53 +0000 Happygal 1264651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like them, especially if they're lit up. Someone has a family of snowmen on their lawn right now and they're fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264644 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:45:29 +0000 mrsjyw 1264644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't mind them, but we'll probably never have them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264642 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:44:23 +0000 looch 1264642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: love it! Gotta be honest, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264639 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:42:27 +0000 MrsHotDog 1264639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind them and never really thought twice about them. My daughter requested Minnie Mouse though and her favorite time of day is when we plug her in. She loves it! So now I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264632 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:37:54 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1264632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my neighbors has Santa on a motorcycle. Barf! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264627 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:37:28 +0000 mediagirl 1264627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: haha apparently you and I are the only two who like them. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264623 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:37:03 +0000 mediagirl 1264623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're great for the kids!! One of our neighbors has a Charlie Brown merry go round one that cracks me up. I wouldn't do them, though because I don't like the dead ones during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264581 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:05:48 +0000 looch 1264581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: so does a house in my 'hood, but only on Sundays.</p> <p>I think they're hilarious. My son loves them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264271 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 22:35:58 +0000 Pepper 1264271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I've always disliked them. My husband LOVES them, haha. Between him and LO I'm sure we'll end up with one. I won't mind as much if LO likes it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264248 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 22:24:44 +0000 deerylou 1264248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They may not be my taste, but I don't find them offensive. I'm willing to bet they're put up by families with small kids that get a kick out of them, blowing in the wind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264238 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 22:21:58 +0000 MamaMoose 1264238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to think they were tacky. And then I had a kid. We got a pumpkin for Halloween and my LO (and all the little kids who came trick or treating) loved it! I can handle a little tackiness if it makes my girl happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264221 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 22:17:18 +0000 mrsjazz 1264221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the snowmen. I think they're kind of cute. I don't see them that much here in the city, but they always make me laugh when they're deflated during the day. I think they're much like any decorations, when you see a house that's gone crazy with them it can look bad. In my neighborhood there's a house that has a small snowman and a few houses down is a house with about 500 white fake clay sculptures depicting the manger scene and it looks horrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264216 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 22:16:17 +0000 bookwormmama 1264216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan. My BIL hates them...he says people can never just have one, they have to have like 5 obnoxious ones in their yard and it drives him crazy. DH really wanted to buy one for his brother as a joke...I told him I would totally do it if they weren't more than $50.</p> <p>A neighbor has a Santa in a Hawaiian shirt/grass skirt (found it: <a href="http://www.yardinflatables.com/Santa-Dancing-the-Hula_p_1232.html)...if" rel="nofollow">http://www.yardinflatables.com/Santa-Dancing-the-Hula_p_1232.html)...if</a> we were buying my BIL one it would be that one since it totally embodies obnoxious inflatable decorations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264214 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 22:15:43 +0000 autumnlove 1264214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't like or passionately hate them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264200 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 22:04:11 +0000 Mae 1264200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-outdoor-inflatable-decorations#post-1264197 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 22:02:46 +0000 NurseMommy 1264197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: my dog is scared s***less of them!
