Surprise Birthday Balloon

When my niece turned 12, I bought a huge helium balloon and put it in a big box, along with her birthday money, and mailed it to her. When she got it and opened the box the whole family was startled as the balloon got out and went up! A very fun way to surprise a kid on their birthday!

My last birthday ( I turned 73) my grandkids did much the same for me. They had a big box wrapped. When I opened it out came MANY balloons. Helium filled and tied with long ribbons. On each ribbon was paper money. Some ones, some fives and a few tens, adding up to 73. Here I thought they were being so original. LOL. Fun gift and what a fun surprise to open.
