If you are looking for Laytex Balloons you have come to the right place
Yes, you can go to the store and pick up a package of balloons.
Do you know how long those balloons have been sitting on the shelf? Were they ever exposed to extremes in temperatures?
Have they been sitting in the sunshine or close to a window that is exposing them to the sunlight?
Not all balloons are created equal
Freshness is important if you want the best balloons.
Laytex balloons are biodegradable and as such any exposure to extreme temperature fluctuations will speed up that process.
It is best to store your balloons in a cool, dry and dark place.
Buy your balloons from a company that replenishes their stock on a regular basis so that you know you are getting fresh balloons.
If you plan to use helium in your balloons, make sure you use helium grade balloons. Some balloons are manufactured just to hold air!
Fun Facts:
A helium inflated balloon will seem to lose its floating ability if you take it outside on a cold day. Take it back into a warm room and it will perk up. (Just like me; I'm much happier when I'm warm!!!)
If you have tall ceilings and a helium filled balloon escapes your reach you can shoot it down with water from a spray bottle.
Helium is a gas. Your body does not need any extra, please don't inhale it just to make funny voices as it can cause you harm.
