Collection: First Birthday Balloons
A first birthday is really a party for the people who got through the first year. It gets photographed more than any other birthday, and the balloons end up in every single frame — so they're worth getting right.
Our first-birthday range leans soft rather than primary. Up in the Clouds is a dreamy sky-blue bobo dotted with white clouds. Fairy Bread scatters pastel pearls through a clear bobo, a nod to the Kiwi party classic. Pearl and Blush Marble are the gender-neutral options that work just as well for a christening or naming day. Add a number 1 balloon in white matte with gold flake or mini satin bows, and a helium bouquet in your colours, and the cake table is done.
Every bobo can be finished with custom lettering — their name, the date, or "one" in gold script. It costs a little more and it's the detail that makes the photos.
Free Auckland delivery across the Hibiscus Coast and North Shore, or free collection from Stanmore Bay. Made to order, so allow at least 48 hours, and a week if you want lettering or custom colours. Outside Auckland? Uninflated number balloons post anywhere in New Zealand from $9.
A practical note: helium balloons float longest indoors and out of direct sun. If the party is outside, order delivery for the morning of the day rather than the night before.
