Big Fat Balloons

Big Fat Balloons has a great selection of helium balloons and gifts that can be ordered online and sent across the UK. Balloons make a fabulous alternative to sending flowers or chocolates and these are sure to make the lucky recipient smile, young or old.

BALLOON IN A BOX

Sophie Baxter, director of the company, fell on the idea when she received a balloon in a box to congratulate her on the birth of her first child. The balloon was an instant hit with the WOW factor. She has now developed this idea into Big Fat Balloons where you can order a balloon online and get it delivered by post. Any occasion is a Big Fat Balloon day and you can mark birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations or even say sorry with their wide range of helium balloons.

Choose the occasion to find a suitable balloon or check out the best sellers. Order by 4 p.m. and your balloon has a guaranteed next day delivery. The balloon (or bouquet of balloons) arrives in a large stripy box tied with a bow. Unwrap the tissue inside and the balloon floats out with a personal message written on a gift card.

TEDDY BEARS TOO

You can also add a box of chocolates to your balloon order or choose a teddy bear for the added aaaaaaaaagh factor. The range of teddy bears on offer includes well-known brands Gund, Sesame Street, Me to You, Steiff, Flatout Bears. These can also be bought on their own, along with other gifts. The company has also introduced stuffed balloons. These are transparent latex balloons with a teddy bear or soft toy inside.

This is a fantastic idea, not expensive and will keep you in someone's good books for a long time.
