BOBO Balloons

A bobo is a clear stretchy balloon with something beautiful suspended inside it — pearls, gold flake, a marbled swirl, a soft cloud. They don't look like party balloons, which is the point. They photograph like a design object and they hold their float far longer than latex.

Every bobo in this collection is hand-finished in our Stillwater studio, from $89. Most can be styled two ways: as shown, or with custom lettering added — a name, a date, an age or a word in gold script. Several can also be ordered with matching latex balloons to make a fuller arrangement.

They suit the occasions where a balloon arch would be too much: engagements and christenings, first birthdays and milestone birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries, shop openings and styled corners at weddings.

Auckland only. Bobos are helium-filled and hand-tied, so they can't survive a courier — they're delivered free across the Hibiscus Coast and North Shore, or collected free from Stillwater. Made to order, so please allow at least 48 hours, and about a week if you'd like lettering or custom colours.
