    Re: Reliable Balloon Sources

    Does anybody know of any good walk-in stores (party stores, balloon stores, pool stores) for balloons and inflatables in England, Spain, or France?

          I know of one really good Spanish party supply chain store but I don't think they have any places on the mainland... If you're in any of the coastal resorts spring/summer then you'll be able to find inflatables no problem. 9/10 all the same but sometimes some interesting ones if you look enough.

          France I've no idea, and the UK I struggle to think of any reliable national chains.

          You're probably better to just searching online for the areas you will be going to I think.
          Shut up and blow!

                Nordic Looners have these sometimes https://nordiclooners.com/valve-giant
                Currently out of stock by the looks of it and I'm not quite sure what kind of balloons they're for.

                  I'm pretty sure those are for larger balloons like 4+ foot ones - they look far too large to fit in a 24" neck

                      I have some of the ones posted at nordiclooners (but I got mine from loonerworld), a qualatex 24 neck stretches over them just fine.

                          Try using clips. I find the alligator food clips work well.

                            An good alternative to a clip can be a tie-wrap or zip-tie as also commonly said. I usually have clips available but if I don't I just turn the neck around and zip-tie them or use a piece of string / electrical wire (like the ones from electronics for you phone charger etc) don't know what is called exactly.

                                I prefer the large balloon clips, they work better on large balloons and are simpler. Also they don't come undone like half knots occasionally do :P
