Emotes in FFXIV can be unlocked through various means, including completing specific quests, engaging in Mogtome events, or other in-game activities. However, some special emotes, like the Blow Bubbles emote, are available for purchase from the Mog Station.
The enchanting Blow Bubbles emote celebrates the arrival of spring and in-game events such as Little Ladies Day. To add this emote to your collection, you'll need to head over to the Mog Station item store. Log in with your account details and navigate to the 'Optional Items' tab under 'Additional Services.'
You should find the Blow Bubbles emote displayed in the first row of New Items. For players in the US, the cost is $7.00 USD. Keep in mind that this emote is character-specific and cannot be gifted to other players.
After making your purchase, log into FFXIV and visit a Delivery Moogle in one of the game's major cities or hubs. Alternatively, if you or your Free Company has a house with mail delivery, you can check there. Once the mail icon appears on your HUD, your emote purchase will be ready for pickup.

Once you've collected your new emote from the moogle delivery point, locate the 'Ballroom Etiquette – Bubble Diversions' item in your inventory. Use this item to unlock the Blow Bubbles emote permanently for your character (note that it's not account-wide).
To use the emote, open your Emote menu under the Social tab. Scroll through the General emotes section, and you'll find Blow Bubbles near the bottom of the list. You can add it to your Favorites for quick access or assign it to your hotbar for even easier use.
When activated, your character will blow clouds of bubbles in two rotations before stopping. While the emote isn't continuous, it's perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your gameplay and capturing adorable in-game moments.
