15-foot-tall Inflatable Rudolph

Show your neighbors you mean business this Christmas! 😮

If you’re looking for ways to take your Christmas decorating to the next level this year, this enormous inflatable Rudolph from Hammacher Schlemmer should get the job done! It’s 15 feet tall, which sounds like it’s just about big enough for him to peer into your neighbors’ second-story windows. Imagine their delight/surprise/terror! Your mileage may vary, depending upon your neighbors. 😂

Exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, this Rudolph stands nearly two stories tall and bears a friendly expression with his LED-illuminated bulbous red nose, large eyes, smiling mouth, and twin young antlers. Rudolph’s head moves from side to side while his pert tail and ears suggest an alertness and eagerness to entertain. An integrated air pump inflates the display in three minutes (providing constant inflation) while lights in the neck, body, and tail evoke merriment. Made of durable tear-resistant polyester that withstands years of setup and storage, Rudolph remains in place with included stakes and 20′-long tethers.


giant Inflatable Clarice

Don’t leave Rudolph standing out there all by himself! You can also buy his beloved companion Clarice, who stands 12 feet tall.

This impressive rendition of Clarice bears all of the kind-hearted character’s signature features, from her polka-dotted red bow to her renowned long lashes. Four C7 bulbs light Clarice from within, exuding a warm glow that makes her easily visible at night. The dozen-foot doe is made from waterproof 190T polyester—the same durable material used to make tents—ensuring years of holiday enjoyment. An electric blower inflates Clarice in two minutes and provides constant inflation. Includes stakes, tethers, and AC plug.

How much will these next-level Christmas decorations cost you? Rudolph is regularly priced at $399.95 and Clarice is $299.95. Shipping is free on orders of $99 and up with the code HSFREE. Hammacher Schlemmer’s inflatables are highly-rated and they come with a lifetime guarantee, but at well over $700 with sales tax, this set would be quite the investment.

Think of the possibilities, though! With 5′ of clearance under Rudolph’s belly, you could have him straddle the path to your front door and make your holiday guests walk under him, provide shelter for your mailbox, or park your motorcycle under him.

So the question here really is – “Can you afford not to delight your neighborhood with this traffic-stopping, photo-worthy front yard scene?” 😉

    say wha?? Where would you even store that? wow.

    • Emily

      Haha. Was just gonna comment something along these lines. I think it’s cute, but I couldn’t use it in my yard due to homeowners association rules and it would be way too big to store in my little townhouse!

    • Jerry

      I store mine in the original box it came in. It’s about 2 x 1.5 x 1.5 feet or less, easily fits in the storage room with the rest of the Christmas decorations. The neighborhood kids love it, and the teens come by and take selfies.

  2. johnniesutterfield-ahrens

    I live on a military post, and the tiny yards here wouldn’t fit that big thing. BUTTTTTT I wouldn’t mind having it if we had our own house and a big yard! My kids like when I put something up outside.

  3. dblD amber

    If it had a lifetime warranty

  4. CJ

    So how high do you want your electrical bill this December?!?! Haha!

  5. Clippy

    I wouldn’t pay $4… Not into the gaudy lawn ornaments

    • J

      Have a sense of humor. It’s hilarious! And cute if I do say so myself. I bet it would put a smile on any child’s face.

      • S

        Having taste & a sense of humor are not mutually exclusive. I wouldn’t want it in my yard.

        • J

          Who said anything about taste, grow a sense of humor it’s about putting a smile on the faces of children. Anyone with children & even those without love to see them happy.

        • S

          Yikes.

  6. meggyjames

    nope!

  7. Judi

    I can’t imagine the liability if that thing got loose! Not with our winds!😬

  8. Ella P

    I’d love to drive by one with the kids in the car! I wonder how tall “Bumble” would have to be if your going for the whole scene of characters! LoL!

  9. April

    No way! I don’t think it would even fit in my yard.

  10. Rachel

    I might actually, LOL! This is sooooo fun!

  11. Doug

    I actually have 10 of them on my lawn….Dasher, Dancer, Prancer….

  12. BargainHunter

    Uh…no!

  13. KCLee

    If I had an extra $400….absolutely! How fun and the talk of the neighborhood..lol.

    • Slgomez

      Lol! Same here. Ha!

  14. Rachel

    super tacky.

  15. Sue

    Wow those are way too big!

  16. Materof6

    Considering that the cost of a cup of coffee can keep a child in another country from dying of hunger, a sounding “NO!” is my answer.

  17. Marie

    A house in my town has one of these, along with like a hundred other blowups and Christmas displays, that they put up every year. It’s a great local attraction to take the family to 🙂

  18. Tammy

    These are cute! If we had the extra money for such a decoration, we would definitely get thrown out of our neighborhood!

  19. sherry

    Put helium in it and join the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

    • J

      Lol, great idea! This would definitely beat even those inflatables!

  20. Shannon

    My neighbor’s have one of their giant Halloween ones- They are very good about the lifetime warranty. Our neighbors have bought one and get a brand new one every year with the warranty- literally they’ve had a new one each year and only paid for the original! (It’s been at least 6 years now)

    • tipaye

      Has something happened where there is damage yearly and the need for a new one?

  21. Lisa

    this is to show off that you have money just like all my neighbors who have teslas & range rovers (we got a killer dealer on a house in a wealthy neighborhood)…it is tacky & trashy if you ask me. It’s not to spread holiday spirit it’s to show off.

    • Angie

      Wow.. what a cynical attitude to have. If people have the money, then why not? I know plenty of people who decorate the hell out of their house for the holidays just because they love that time of the year.. and they are not well off at all.

    • J

      Wow, lighten up a little. Your assumptions are completely wrong, I must tell you. I’ve seen the smallest houses in the poorest of neighborhoods & they go all out decorating for Christmas. No need to be jealous off false assumptions. Don’t worry just be happy for others.

    • sue

      Sounds like you should not live where you do. If you can’t have fun with your money why earn it. It isn’t about out doing your neighbors it’s about doing what you like. So if you can’t be happy for them being able to buy what they like then move to an area that doesn’t have the extra money to spend. Don’t put people down because they have things you can’t afford. Your probally the type that is house broke and can’t afford to trim your tree and you just wait until it falls in your neighbor’s yard then it becomes their expense.

      • *Angela-Miles*

        100% agree Sue, putting down people who have earned stuff that you may or may not be able to afford, should make you reevaluate yourself and your negative thoughts. My parents also went all out for Christmas, bought extravagant displays, all kinds of yard decor an tons of lights and loved every bit of it. Im starting to do the same myself. Can’t wait to get it all set up this year. 🙂 If it makes me or whoever else happy. Why judge?

        Merry Christmas!!!

  22. Kait

    Meh, not my cup of tea. I could think of many better ways to spend $400. Every time I pulled into my driveway, I’d kick myself for buying such a ridiculous thing. Lol

  23. Colleen

    I decorate for the kids and there isn’t a kid I know that wouldn’t love this. I wouldn’t spend $400 but if Collin posts it for 50% off I’d be on it.

  24. ddd0319

    This is completely hysterical but has to be against many hoa’s? LOL!!!

    • J

      That’s what I thought when I saw this post! The pic alone is hilarious where it’s so huge!

  25. ToriSC

    Really really tempting if just to tick off my neighbors who cut down a tree in my yard because they didn’t like it.

    • mommanguyen

      Hahaha, put it right where the tree used to be 😉

  26. Cristine

    My kids would love this so much but there is no way I’d be willing to shell out that kind of cash. Lol

  27. Dgal

    Nope

  28. Alla

    My neighbors have this exact one. They have a high fence and it peeks out of their fence.Their fence faces the main roads and when I drove by for the first time, my jaw dropped. Never seen that huge inflatable before. They had some cool stuff for Halloween also like this big but a tank. It looks awesome in person 😊

  29. Ann

    It’s like a parade float. Windy days may make me nervous with this. The liability if it floats away and ends up on a busy interstate highway scares me.

  30. kcmiami88

    If I had the extra money I would definitely buy it. My neighbors would love it since we are surrounded by many kids. And my kids would probably think it’s the best Christmas ever since here in Florida everybody goes all out with decorations.
