(Coppell, TX.) - Gemmy Industries, a leader in seasonal decor and entertainment technology since 1984, showcases their 2009 Christmas line as decorators worldwide set their sights on the upcoming holiday season.
“Gemmy is ready for Christmas in 2009. We’ve got an extraordinary line of products that’s ready to take the more than 6 billion dollar industry by storm,” Jason McCann, President of Gemmy Industries said. “It is a point of pride that we are able consistently deliver the latest in entertainment technology and value to waiting customers all over the globe.”
Gemmy’s product line is multi-faceted, embracing a broad spectrum of different types of items and decor for Christmas. A clear leader in their initiatives is their Airblown® series of inflatable decor. Airblown® inflatables present decorators with a fast an easy solution to create memorable holiday scenes. These festive decorations self-inflate in seconds, collapse down for easy storage between seasons and come with everything needed for set-up. While the Airblown® inflatable series contains dozens of iconic characters and scenes, there are three that are the frontrunners for 2009. These featured Airblown® inflatables include:
- Santa’s Hot Air Balloon – A life-size, realistic Santa Claus inside a 14ft. simulated hot air balloon
- Penguins’ Letter to Santa – A trio of adorable penguins send off their Christmas wishes to Santa
- Christmas Noah’s Ark – The animals of the Ark celebrate in Christmas style
The 2009 line also includes many of the most recognizable licenses in Christmas, including Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer® Frosty the Snowman®, Peanuts® and an array of Disney characters. These popular licenses cut across many decorating categories by Gemmy from Airblown® inflatables and holiday greeters to tabletop entertainment, advent calendars and many others. These licensed items are an effective way for decorators to include time-tested and fun characters into their displays that are instantly familiar to their audience.
As innovators in the area of outdoor decor, Gemmy also adds a trilogy of first-rate lighted characters to their lineup. Taking the form of a snowman, doe and reindeer, these items are a tasteful rendering in wireframe with accompanying snowflake lights which sparkle in a clear white. The effect for decorators is a fashionable display that embodies the hues and tones of winter. These characters serve equally well as the centerpiece of a design, or as a strong accent to a larger arrangement.
Continuing on in their leadership of the outdoor category, Gemmy also brings their LightShow™ trees to Christmas in 2009. The LED lights inside the trees pulse in a dazzling show of white or multi-colored light. The result is an eye-catching holiday spectacle that is built to impress. The trees feature an easy set-up process, energy-efficient LEDs and come in a choice of clear or multi-colored lights. In either case, LightShow™ trees create a unique lighted experience that decorators can use to clearly differentiate their presentations from others in their neighborhood.
As many customers seek to decorate their homes in the spirit of the season, Gemmy also provides a new technology and decorating solution in the form of LightShow ™ Shooting Star Icicle Lights. These light strings are molded in the shape of long icicles and feature LED light technology within them to create patterns of gently falling, cascading light, giving the impression of shooting stars or falling snow. Plus, these lights allow decorators to link multiple Shooting Star strings together into an array of light on an even grander scale.
Gemmy’s robust line for 2009 is further diversified into several other categories, including life-sized figures, animatronics, classical-themes, realistic decor and many more. Notable among these other categories is Gemmy’s realistic Nativity Set. Built in one quarter scale, the set includes six life-like characters with detailed clothes and accessories, a lighted backdrop and a spotlight fixture for better nighttime viewing. It’s ideal for outdoor displays and makes a great addition to any Christmas-themed decor.
“All of us are excited that our unique and innovative product line will help people celebrate the season in style,” McCann said. “This is Gemmy’s 25th anniversary year, and we’re optimistic that it will truly be the time to make the season bright.”
Gemmy’s Christmas line for 2009 is already in stores, across outlets nationwide and major distribution centers. For more information about Gemmy and its products, visit www.gemmy.com.
