Cranking up the heat with these quirky hot air balloons!

I may earn a little commission from some of the links (if any) mentioned in this post at no extra cost to you.

I was so excited to research hot air balloons as a theme, but it has turned out to be quite a tricky one to be honest. Maybe I’m just getting more fussy, but there is definitely a lack of hot air balloon inspired products out there! So, if you are a manufacturer, get on it, fill this gap! Hot air balloons are just one of those things you expect to find in a quirky capacity, it would lend itself so well to so many products, so it has surprised me to find so little out there. But, I have of course given it a good go!

This hot air balloon bed is by far one of my most extravagant finds to date. I think it’s amazing, and if you have oodles of money and space…and a child you’d like to spoil, well, why wouldn’t you want their bed to look like this?! It oozes style and elegance, it wouldn’t surprise me if one of the Royal children begged for one in their room. It is definitely fit for a Prince or Princess!

This next hot air balloon is an adorable little light for a child’s bedroom. It has a calm and relaxing ambiance, making it an ideal night light. I love the shape, the little lights are sweet and I can imagine it being loved by both boys and girls. If you’re thinking of hot air balloons as a theme for a unisex nursery, this would be perfect.

These beautifully quirky knobs are like funky works of art that would look so beautiful in a little one’s bedroom or play room. Fun and colourful with an abundance of character and charm. Picture this: fresh, plain, white furniture, then boom, add these gorgeous little splashes of quirky and they’ll transform the whole look of the furniture. This is exactly how to create quirky vibes without breaking the bank!

This amazing clock has got child-appeal written all over it. The vibrant colours makes it stand out a mile compared to the other hot air balloon shaped wall clocks I came across. Not only would it add colour to a kids bedroom, it would be sure to help with developing their time-telling skills!

I adore these little chairs, I know our boy would quite gladly have them both set up in his bedroom. They are adorable. The colours are funky and fresh which would allow them to sit well in any kind of decor or colour scheme. I can see them in bedrooms, play rooms or even in tree-houses and Summer houses. Cute and easy to carry from one setting to the other, they are perfect little chairs for the special little munchkins in your lives.

These stunning wine glasses definitely deserve to be used in Summer houses. They are beautifully designed. They have a Summery, romantic look to them and they should be appreciated. My favourite wine is rose and it would look so pretty in these glasses, I feel like I should own a set, they belong in my glass cupboard! I don’t have a Summer house, but I can easily get wine!!

From arty glasses for Summer days, to arty umbrellas for Summer rain! This is a gorgeous product, the colours are fantastic, and you would be the envy of all other umbrella users! You’d probably get drones following you if you were to use one of these, like a walking piece of art! I would absolutely love to see every single brolly have some kind of colourful artwork on them, it would make rainy days so much more pleasurable.

This is a magical hot air balloon, it has real dandelions held within, so make a wish and see what happens! This is such an unusual piece of jewellery. There are so many hot air balloon necklaces available, and I can understand why, it is a quirky shape and lends itself well as a pendant, but this one is very unusual. It’s classy, has a vintage look to it, and has the extra little touch of wonder inside. A very special kind of quirky.

I wasn’t sure whether to include this next one if I’m totally honest, I didn’t know if it was quirky enough to make the final cut, but Mr Quirky approved it, and he is a fuss-pot when it comes to whether things are quirky enough! I love it, it’s so gorgeous, the colours are stunning. It has a regal look to it, but then it has a circus vibe to it too. There are of course plenty of lovely compact mirrors out there, but I haven’t seen any like this, it is pretty unusual. I can totally see other people commenting on it if you took it out of your handbag in public, it definitely has that kind of power! Highly attractive, very desirable and has a gorgeously unique design.

Speaking of handbags, this one is pretty out there. This is such an unbelievably quirky bag, you could be wearing any old thing and no-one would batter an eyelid, all focus would be on the bag! This particular design has almost a sporty feel to it, not sure why, maybe the choice of colours or that it looks like a leather football. You could use it as a gym bag, it is big enough to hold a fair amount of things, or fab for a day trip, good for carrying a decent size lunch. If you have children, they would think their Mama was so cool with this bag, and we all love to be winners in our kids’ eyes don’t we?!

This is something so incredibly different, I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve ever come across them. Great gifts for garden-lovers, bird-watchers, or just for someone who has everything, doesn’t need anything etc give them the gift of giving a bird a home! Fabulous design, and looks like a snug little house for our tweety little friends. Might be a bit early to mention Christmas but if you’re stuck for ideas, this here is a winning idea that won’t cost you the earth, especially as it comes in a cute box too.

We deserve to be snug in our homes too, and this lamp just makes me feel all cozy. The colouring is warm and wonderful. It would blend in well with a quirky decor with lots of nicknacks, but would stand out like a beacon of beauty in a more subtle and plain environment. I doubt it would even have to have a working bulb in it to give you the sense of warmth, the yellows and reds of the glass does the job anyway.

And here’s another exquisitely-designed piece that would look awesome just as an ornament, but it has a purpose, and this quirky shopper loves a bit of quirky that has a use! What it lacks in colour, it makes up for in it’s decorative detailing, it is spot on. Steampunk vibes are becoming increasingly popular, and this clock fits very comfortably in this field of design.

I hope I have managed to take you up, up and away to a wonderful world of quirky hot air balloons. I wish I could have found more, but I do love this selection. Here’s hoping I haven’t spouted out too much hot air around these awesome products!
