    They had a fantastic selection of balloons. You could easily set up gift bags with unusual and fun kitch, They were an absolute mecca for young child birthday parties. Somebody graduating, somebody throwing a baby shower, you can’t really find a lot of the stuff they had there locally and definitely not in the selection they had.

    Of course, all their shit is still available because in the end it’s all Chinese trash that you can get from Alibaba or temu for 1/10 of the price, But you can’t just go across town and get it now, you need to plan a few days in advance. Even finding a place that uses real helium to inflate a balloon is getting kind of rare.
