- Search by category such as birthday, occasion, theme or colour
- Search for products by keyword using the search bar at the top of the page

How long do helium balloons last?
The “float time”, or the amount of time helium balloons stay in the air, varies depending on the volume of helium used at inflation, the type of balloon, and the temperature, sunlight, wind and other weather conditions the balloon is subjected to. Below is a guide to float times for various helium balloons we stock here at Shindigs. These times are based on balloons that have been inflated according to instructions:
- 11in/28cm latex - 8 to 10 hours
- 11in/28cm latex - treated with Hifloat - approx 2 to 3 days
- 14in/40cm latex - 12 to 14 hours
- 18in foils - 2 to 3 days (looking their best)
- Supershapes - 4 to 5 days (looking their best)
- Bubbles - 1 to 2 weeks (looking their best)
For more information about helium balloon float times and how to get the most out of your helium balloons check out our helpful blog on filling helium balloons and our balloon and helium facts.
Can I place orders over the phone?
Absolutely! Our friendly staff will gladly place your order for you if you prefer not to order online or have any issues. If you’re unable to add products to your cart it may be because your internet browser doesn’t allow pop-ups. You may be able to fix the issue by allowing pop-ups for our website in your security settings. If you can’t change your settings we’ll gladly place your order for you over the phone!
