In recent decades, it is customary to give gifts from the store. It simplifies life - went and bought, they can even pack a gift for the donor, the main thing is to pay. Most often, an equal sign is placed between the value of the gift and the ratio of the donor to the recipient. And gifts, made with your own hands with a soul, gradually go into oblivion. It would seem that a gift is a sign of attention, and where it is more pleasant to get something made by a person who was not lazy, spent time creating a present, but prefer to give something that you can buy ready.
The original idea of the gift is a balloon with a surprise or a composition of them. In this case, the balls can act in different roles.
Gift wrap
Balloons can be the perfect gift wrapping. The most practical gift in our time is money, and a plastic bottle will help put it in a ball. Cutting the upper part and putting a bead on the neck, we get a convenient funnel through which you can put money, pour shiny confetti inside the bowl, put a note with a wish, a ring. You can give as one balloon, pre-packaged inflated in a gift box with an inscription on it “burst me” (everything depends on fantasy), and several balloons in the form of a bouquet.
In stores specializing in the sale of goods for the holiday, you can buy a "ball-surprise." It differs in its size, it is usually used for packing small balloons into it (20 pieces can fit in it) and confetti.
For the realization of this gift idea, you will need a "balloon-surprise", small balloons, a hand pump (it is very difficult to inflate small balloons without it). Blowing a large balloon first, hold it for a couple of minutes in such a state that it stretches, and then release the air. We put a small ball in the neck of the deflated ball, hold both necks to prevent the small one from slipping, and inflate it. Inflating the ball, we fasten the neck, and it remains inside the large ball-surprise. Thus, we place in the large ball the necessary number of small ones, and then we inflate a neatly large one to take shape.
Inside the small balls you can place money, notes with the wish, or put a gift in one ball, thus giving the opportunity to play the game "find a gift." Many agencies offer the service of packing in a balloon and more dimensional gifts, soft toys, champagne bottles.
Having special devices in the house and studying the technology of this process, you can try and pack your own gift in a ball.
Present
An unusual and memorable gift will be balloons that act directly as a gift. It’s easy to make a surprise box with balls. If desired, you can purchase the finished composition in the aero design shop.

- a large box 70x70 cm, it is possible more, not necessarily square;
- wrapping paper, ribbons and bow;

Since the gas is lighter than air, when you remove the lid from the box, the balls will soar upwards, than only positive emotions will be delivered to the recipient of the gift, who, opening the box, expects to see the gift inside, and not the balls flying out from there.
The process of creating a present is simple. First you need to wrap the box with paper, fasten a bow on the lid.At the bottom of the box you can put a gift if it is provided. Inflate balloons with helium, tie ribbons to them and fasten them to the ends with scotch tape inside the box so that they do not fly away to the ceiling (you can also not fasten, but simply release the balloons from the box, which looks impressive). You can attach a card to the ribbons of the ball, declarations of love, small toys, the choices are endless and depend on imagination. This surprise can be timed to coincide with any holiday: March 8, February 23, birthday, New Year, or other memorable date.
