For most people, balloons remind them of birthdays, parties and celebrations. They come in a variety of colours, prints and some even filled with confetti. It would be fair to say that balloons are hard work and time consuming, the part where you have to blow each one up and then decorate it around the venue. And then there are those helium filled foil balloons that always catch your kid’s attention, but you have to think twice before parting with your money.

Well, what if there was an easy and affordable way to keep your kids, and their friends, entertained with balloons. What if you could have helium filled balloons in seconds at any time of the day and at any location. Thanks to ‘Ballonee’ , a disposable helium tank, it’s possible, just as it was possible for me to conveniently plan and execute this DIY in the comfort of my home. And so could you!

The Balloonee Experience

With the Balloonee Disposable Helium Tank, inflating balloons has never been easier and quicker. You don’t need any extra special equipment, and all items necessary for a balloon fesita, including the balloons and the ribbon, are included in the kit. Yes, you do need some practice and you may pop the first few couple of balloons until you get the hang of it. However, very soon, you will have a whole bunch of vibrant coloured balloons ready in under 10 minutes. What a wonderful concept, Balloonee!

Inflating the balloons using the Balloonee tank is as easy as: opening the valve by turning it counter clockwise, slipping the balloon neck onto the nozzle of the Balloonee tank, pressing down the nozzle gently to inflate the balloon while holding it and removing the inflated balloon from the nozzle to tie a knot. Ta-da!

It is best to fill the balloons an hour or 2 before the main event, as the floating time for the latex balloons can be 5-7 hours, while if you are using the foil balloons, they last upto 4 days.
