When did you last see Chinese lanterns for sale? They're elusive aren't they? It's hardly like they're as commonplace as washing powder: you are unlikely to use them very often so you're hardly likely to find them down the aisles of your local supermarket.
So if you are looking for somewhere to buy some lanterns for your birthday, New Year, Christmas, wedding or any other party, not to mention religious or spiritual event or even memorial, then where do you go?
You could find Chinese lanterns for sale on the high street or in large stores if you looked hard enough. Some garden centres and outdoor stores have been known to stock them in the same sort of section as they might sell equipment for outdoor parties such as patio tables. Smaller independent stores often stock them too, but have only limited stock of Chinese lanterns for sale; after all, small shops are in no position to buy stock they are unsure that they can sell. For smaller parties or celebrations, this might not be too big a problem but in cases of large weddings or celebrations you may need to find more than 100 Chinese lanterns for sale in one place, since you want them all to look the same to create the best and most impressive effect.
One way of avoiding this issue is to buy Chinese lanterns online. Unlike conventional retailers, online stores have more available space since they tend to operate from warehouses. This means that they can buy their lanterns in bulk, for cheaper and can therefore sell them on at more reasonable prices.
Perhaps the most important decision you will have to make when buying Chinese lanterns concerns the environmental credentials of the products you chose. You could choose cheaper versions of the flying lanterns but they are unlikely to be eco-friendly. In the past the lanterns have had a bad press regarding their impact on the environment, with farmers concerned about their ability to harm or even kill animals which ingest them once they land and rural communities have expressed concerns about the lanterns littering. Biodegradable lanterns obviously negate this worry and wire free versions will not harm animals who may consume them.
As far as safety is concerned, check that the Chinese lanterns for sale are fire retardant and come with their fuel cell ready attached and never let children use them unsupervised.
