That oxygen will probably be contaminated with the vapors and an aerosol of the solution it came from, though. If highly advise against attempting to inhale it.
@heffenuts I can think of three potential reasons it wouldn't be a pure aqueous NaCl solution:
Impure reactants: bleach often contains NaOH, and H2O2 often contains stabilizers like H3PO4 et. al.
You would have to use the exact same molar amounts of both reactants, otherwise one will be in excess and be left over. This would require exact knowledge of your reactant's concentrations after decomposition during storage.
Finally, it might take a while (minutes) for the reaction to go to completion.
I love the improvised deflagration spoon! :D

so hydrogen peroxide and bleach create salt water and air only?

@heffenuts
H2O2 + NaClO -> O2 + NaCl + H2O

@ReactionFactory How about the saltwater? does it have extraneous solutions as well?
