Balloon Cups and Sticks are easy to use and offer a great alternative to helium filled balloons. Simply tie a knot in the balloon and secure it to the cup. Then insert the stick. It can be hand held or placed in a centrepiece. The balloons are air filled so they will stay inflated for a long time. Many fast food restaurants give away printed balloons on cups and sticks for this reason as well as the saving in not using helium.
