    What do you do with the free balloons?

    Hello everyone! It's my first thread, I hope it's somewhat interesting

    I'm wondering what you guys and girls do with the free balloons you get when ordering from Nordic Looners or Balloons United for example.
    I'm slowly but steadily beginning to build up a stock pile of the free 14" Belbal from Balloons United, and don't know what to do with them

    Let this thread be dedicated to free balloons

    Same here. Small nostalgia factor.

    Anyway, the BU balloons end up in our general rotation, though they’re generally tossed aside after inflation and end up getting kicked around a bit. They’re generally not kept for very long.

      I get free balloons from Loonerworld, usually Tuftex 12 or 14 inches, I don't know exactly just because I don't purchase smaller balloons than 16 inch. Sometimes I blow and play with them but they can't turn me on, so I save in my stock.
      I want to live surrounded of big and colorful balloons

        They end up sitting on the shelf in my closet, they don't really do much for me.

          I have built a large stock of them thru years. They are good quality printed balloons and are waiting for their time. One day I will prepare a great popping session with 200 of them

            The BU loon is a beautiful purple though, really stands out among the rest!

                Belbal 14’s are one of my favourites. I usually overinflate them and see how big they’ll go. You can get them to 16” pretty easily.
                How big will it go? Only one way to find out...

                  Wow. I'm mostly a non-popper but I'm curios to go to the limits with the 14" belbal haha. A few questions though, how reliable are they when inflated to 14" and if they are, are they still reliable at 16"?

                  They really are beautiful! It would be a shame to let them decompose, but that might be the fate as i live at home. I'm eager to try to sitpop them! Otherwise if I would live on my own it would be nice to have them around inflated.

                    As the saying goes 'use it or lose it'. It sounds as though most of the replies so far don't really want the freebies. Come on you other folks shout out that you like them and want them or those free balloons may become a thing of the past.

                      I want them but can't have so much time with balloons at all sadly. I do think it's very nice with free balloons, and that they should be around. Maybe it could be optional?

                            It's true, I really appreciate the gift but I will be liar to say I like those small balloons. If my order expect 20 Tuftex 17" and when I get the delivery and I open the box I find 21 Tuftex 17" I would be happy so much.

                              They’re very reliable at 14” never had a fresh one pop. Getting it to 16” is a bit more risky. It’ll take multiple inflations to get it that big. You can easily get a full neck with a fresh one without worrying about it popping.
