Our design team at BasketsGalore work hard to create gift baskets full of special treats, and whenever it's for a specific occasion they like to source items to help theme the gift.For certain occasions such as Mother's Day & Easter we find that a decorative balloon works really well. Not only do they theme the basket with the appropriate wording, they are also bright & colourful and create the sense of a celebration.We currently source our balloons from a wholesale supplier named Amscan International, who are specialists in party goods. They provide a whole variety of balloons and other party essentials. The balloons we order are 9" air filled foil balloons as they are the perfect size to accompany a gift basket.As well as holiday balloons we also have birthday, get well, thank you, new baby and congratulations balloons.Mother's Day 2014It is our aim to eventually have the equipment for inflating & heat sealing balloons in-house and that way we can source our own balloon designs & add occasions that are not readily available at the moment. An example of this would be a 'welcome' balloon for house warming hampers & birthday age balloons.What are your thoughts on balloons in gift baskets? Are there any occasions you would like to see added in particular?
