The Inflatable Snowglobe Craze

If you are into inflatables a News10Now article says the inflatable Snowglobes are becoming extremely popular. These inflatable decorations make it look like it is actually snowing inside -- like the smaller snow globes that have been around for years.
"This year we really like the globes. They're a really popular item," said shopper Brenda Way.

Snow globes certainly are a popular item. The globe, which lights up and displays a continuous snowstorm within, recently sold out at both Lowe's and Home Depot in Rome.

"They came in maybe two weeks before Thanksgiving, and they were gone before Thanksgiving," said Brent Scott, a Rome Home Depot associate.

"Pretty much every person walking in the store had to stop and stare at that thing I know I always did walking past it, you know I think little kids looked like they wanted to live inside that thing," said Mike Stiadle, Rome Lowe's store nanager.
These inflatable Snowglobes sound hot. It sure would be cool to be the only house on your street that has one. Just remember the first rule of holiday decorations is "don't panic." Keep telling yourself that it is just an inflatable holiday decoration. Keep that in mind as you read this next quote from a news story in the Fort Myers News-Press.
Customers all around the country, including an enthusiastic Lee County contingency, are snapping up the $199 8-foot blow-up snow globes. They contain more than 1.5 million white pellets that swirl around like snow. The "snow" in the globe looks especially real when it's blowing around Santa Claus, a snowman and a Christmas tree. The globes take about four minutes to inflate.

Made by Gemmy Industries, the globes also come in smaller sizes, but the large varieties are the most popular.

"We are already sold out," said Joe Dinnegan, sales specialist at Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse in Cape Coral. "I don't think we're going to get any more."
The Snowglobes are listed online here at homedepot.com but they are not sold online so you should check Home Depot stores in your area. Amazon.com has a few of the inflatable snow globes for sale here. We also found some online at Skymall and Westminsterfun.com. There are probably other online carriers as well. You can see the Snowglobes in action on the manufacturer's website. The manufacturer, Gemmy, also shows all the different kinds of Snowglobes.
