Speaking of balloons, there were, what appeared to be, two hot air balloons over south London this morning at around 6.30.
Did anyone else see them? They were quite far away, but must still have been in an area classed as Town. I would have thought it quite tricky over such a built up area.
Oops. I know it's been there for ages. Just didn't know it had already been talked about. I must go in this evening for my essential balloon purchases.
We bought a balloon in there a while ago for a friend's birthday. It cost about £4.50 I think - you choose which type you want and then they inflate it for you. It is so cheering to walk along the street carrying a massive balloon!
Balloons are jolly. It's nice to present people with them, everyone turns into a child again when given a big bunch of balloons.
Cheering is exactly the right word.
This must have been when Four Eyes was boycotting the site because he thought stroudgreen.org was mean. As I recall, it was an entirely coherent boycott that made a lot of sense.
I find this shop a great help if im going to friends kids' birthdays - the fun brought by balloons or Pinatas lasts quite a while and keeps them occupied.
The girl working there is really helpful, have a treat
I popped in there the other day and ordered a big balloon for my 4 year olds party in Nov, goodbay gifts (tons of them), balloons and goodybag stuff. Its brilliant they do tons of party stuff. I wish I had brought all the other stuff there such as Lightening McQueen napkins, cups and plates as the stuff I have ordered on the internet still hasnt arrived. The woman who works there is lovely and very helpful. Recommend it! Nice addition to the area.
hi this offer not only balloons but also fitting. They do the decorations for different occasions: start from the kid birthday party, weddings, shops display etc
They are very creative
I bought an inflatable rave happy face balloon for my flatmates 30th and she swiped the table of her other gifts to make way for it. She nearly wept she loved it so much.
Who says balloons are just for kids?
Went in there to get my Halloween face paint on Friday. I thought the shop could've made a killing in sales if they had stocked up on the usual Halloween items.
15 minutes before my kids 1st birthday party I sped round there, came back with 10 balloons inflated. Job done. I knew I would spend time in that place and like it.
I wanted to like it, but they had no 30th birthday balloons or numbers 30 when I went there to buy balloons for my pals party - so I don't. I had to go to Clinton Cards *pah* for them and that Hallmark hellhole upsets me.
If you hve kids or elderly relatives you might want to know that this shop has a sale on with some very good value stuff going. Ideal for a pancake party! Chang
Last autumn ought some massive balloons for a photo shoot. Lady was lovely and thought the balloons were really good value. One of them was still inflated over 2 months later! Just a shame I don't have more of a need for balloons.<br><br>When I got talking to her it seemed much of her business was online and the shop was primarily for 'emergencies'.<br>
@NorthNineteen - do you need to have a need for balloons? I treated myself to a balloon from X-It a while ago and it made me giddily happy. This has reminded me to go and get one from this shop. <div><br><div>I was talking to someone a couple of weeks ago about how their friend has a balloon business (not this one) and is now a multi-millionaire. Who knew there was so much much money in balloons.</div></div>
I guess you don't need a need.... Thinking about it, due to Mrs N19's dislike for flowers maybe getting her the occasional balloon would be a nice treat.<br>
They were very nice in there when we needed to stock up with a few balloons for toddler birthday time. But the photos on the wall show where their real business is - some amazing displays ...
