Birthday Helium Balloons
Send birthday helium balloons: Happy Birthday sets, XXL numbers and giant balloons. They float out of the box fully inflated – on your chosen date.
Birthday Helium Balloons – the Surprise That Floats Out of the Box
Some presents need unwrapping. Others unwrap themselves. That’s exactly what happens when the birthday person opens the box: the balloons rise, float up to the ceiling and stay in view for days.
All birthday balloon gifts in this category arrive ready-filled. No pump, no helium canister, no preparation needed – just someone to lift the lid.
From Happy Birthday to XXL numbers
Our range covers all kinds of birthday situations:
- Happy Birthday sets in several colour themes – from boho with a dried-flower look to pastel rainbow and rose gold.
- XXL numbers that put the age proudly on display. The classic choice for a 30th, 40th or 50th birthday.
- Giant balloons almost two metres tall that fill the whole hallway.
- Balloons with a funny message for everyone who takes their age with a wink.
The sets are priced in the mid double digits – comparable to a good bouquet, but with a far bigger wow effect when opened.
Who a balloon gift is perfect for
Balloons work especially well wherever a birthday is meant to be celebrated out loud: for children, milestone birthdays, in the office or in a shared flat. They’re also a great choice for people who already have everything – nobody owns a floating birthday greeting yet.
They’re less suitable if someone lives in a very small space, has pets that react to balloons, or if the present is meant to arrive discreetly.
Balloons and flowers together?
Both can’t be sent in one parcel – balloon gifts and bouquets are shipped separately. You can, however, order both separately and choose the same delivery date. You’ll find our selection of birthday flowers in its own category. If you’d rather give something to unwrap, take a look at our birthday gift boxes. There’s also an overview of all non-floral birthday gifts.
Delivery on your chosen date
With the “Delivery date” filter, you can see which balloon gifts can be delivered on your chosen day. Because the balloons are shipped already filled, they need a little lead time – check the earliest delivery date on the product itself.
Our tip: schedule delivery for the birthday itself. That way, the moment of opening happens exactly when it should.
Frequently asked questions about helium balloons as a gift
Do I have to inflate the balloons myself?
No. The balloons are already filled with helium on delivery and rise as soon as the box is opened.
How long do the balloons float?
That depends on their size and the room temperature. Foil balloons usually stay afloat considerably longer than classic latex balloons. Cool rooms shorten the float time, and so does direct heat from a radiator.
Can I send a balloon gift directly to the birthday person?
Yes. Simply enter the recipient’s delivery address at checkout and we’ll ship it there. We’ll include your personal greeting card.
What happens if nobody is at home?
Balloon gifts should ideally be handed over in person. So choose a day when someone will be available – or an address where the parcel will definitely be accepted, such as the office.
Are there number balloons for milestone birthdays?
Yes. The XXL numbers can be combined for different anniversaries and milestones. You can see which numbers are available directly on the product page.
