Minions are everywhere! Especially as they now have their own movie release and are sure to be more popular than ever. Minions have always been a best seller so this week Greg thought it would be a good idea to go through the Minion products we stock in preparation for the inevitable rush! We have the full range of party supplies from cups and plates to party invitations, as well as 18” foils and larger Supershapes. Our Stuart and Dave the minion Supershapes are best sellers but if you are looking for the standard 18 inch balloons then we do a Stuart and Dave in the small rounds as well! For Minion goodie bag ideas why not try the Inflate-a-fun balloons from Amscan; these small, hand-held balloons can be inflated by mouth and are great for putting in loot bags. Also in the pipeline are printed minion latex balloons from Amscan so keep an eye out in our new products section!

A big thank you to Annette from Heaven Scent Balloons and Flowers for getting in touch with us regarding the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory party that you organised. Greg mentioned last week that our candy swirls can be wrapped in cellophane to create great-looking sweet themed balloons for a Willy Wonka party and Annette got in touch with us and sent through a few images of her work! Here they are, thanks for sending those through.

Jurassic World has also roared into life and is smashing records at the box office, if you want some of that industry then take a look at our Jurassic World balloons, we currently stock the latex, 18” foil and larger SuperShape. Should we get the party-ware in? Let us know what you think.

For those of you that like a slick checkout when shopping online will appreciate the changes we’ve made to our payment process on our website; you can now enter and save card details directly on our website instead of being re-directed to sage pay. This makes the whole payment process much smoother and will definitely save you time if you are a returning customer. We are also looking into reducing the number of steps required to go from basket to order confirmation so keep an eye out for that!

That’s it for this week, next week we have another manufacturer interview, Nikki will be joining us from Northstar to give an insight into their business. See you next week!
