Ballooning Experience
Ballooning Experience
 The Balloon (ing) gift is consistently voted one of our top five crapest gifts of the month, which is some achievement. That’s how truly crap this gift is. Would you really think that a ballooning experience would be that bad – well there’s only one way to find out – get that balloon and go high high high.
This is the gift of one balloon. A wrinkled little bit of rubber? Or the gateway to a world of magical possibilities? Only you can decide.
Are you going to embrace your destiny and make of it the best ballooning experience it can be?
Or are you going to be crap about it?*
 Suitable for:
The risk averse
People from Milton Keynes
Thor
Tiny little people (must supply own basket)**
INSTRUCTIONS
- Take the balloon out of the envelope
- Find yourself a piece of very lightweight string
- Carefully inflate the balloon (blow into the open end until the balloon is bigger than it is now, but not so big that it explodes in your face)
- Once the balloon is the correct size pinch the end closed and tie in a knot***
- Attach the piece of string to the end of the balloon
- Run up and down in the garden towing the balloon on a string behind you and whooping with joy
- Congratulations! You are Balloon (ing)

Bespoke your Gift
Go large and really impress the neighbours. Take yourself off to your local supermarket and buy yourself a helium balloon. It comes with its own string and floats effortlessly above your head.
DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE A TINY LITTLE PERSON, THIS THING WILL FLOAT UP SO HIGH YOU’LL FREEZE TO DEATH IN MINUTES.
Our Ballooning Experience Gift sits of the crap scale at number 9

Bought this as a Secret Santa gift for my mate Charlie who’s always banging on about bucket list experiences and extreme sports. His face when he opened it was absolutely priceless!
At first he thought it was a voucher for an actual hot air balloon ride, so you can imagine the confusion when he pulled out… a balloon. Just a regular party balloon. The instructions had me in stitches – “run up and down in the garden towing the balloon on a string behind you and whooping with joy” – I mean, who writes this stuff?
Charlie was a good sport about it and actually did inflate it and run around his garden with it, much to his wife’s horror. The neighbours definitely got a show. It’s become this running joke now where he sends me photos of him “ballooning” in random places.
For under a tenner, it’s absolutely perfect if you want something deliberately rubbish that’ll get a proper giggle. It’s the kind of gift that keeps giving because everyone remembers it. Would definitely recommend for anyone with a sense of humour who can take the mick. Top marks for sheer ridiculousness!
