I could really do with a very large weather balloon to appear like a planet for a childrens club.

You should use it to try and fake a UFO sighting, duh.

Hi. Judging by the other replies you might have shifted all of your balloons by now, but i would love to buy one off you for a photographic project. Let me know and good luck with the rest, cheers, paul.

Hi Lucia,

I am currently organising a cluster balloon event for charity and I need exactly these type of balloons for researching their capabilities! The money raised is going to address two types of need – H.I.V treatment for children in Africa and food supplementation, also for children in Africa. If you decide that you would like to donte them (or even a few of them )to us we woud be extremely grateful! We would also be prepared to buy them off you if you felt that you couldnt let them go for nothing!

Let me know what you think.

Thank you kindly,

Paula Shields

Use them as party balloons!

Use them for exercise.

Collect a bunch and just fly around the world.

Use at theater for sound affect, just pop it at a proper moment.

Send message across the world.

A giant bag filled with these balloons can save lives of people during fire, when they jump out the windows.

While holding the cord, attach a camera to it and record places from the birds view.

Glue a swimming safety ring to it, send flying to simulate UFO.

I haven’t seen one. How durable are they? Maybe you can send me some and I’ll see what I can do.

Great idea! With a latticed frame you could build a Coracle (is that spelt correctly?)

I’m not really sure what these are for, but if they’re still mostly functional, maybe they could be donated to a high school/college to help some budding meteorologists.

This idea is pretty outragous, but how about making a raft/pontoon out of them? If they will hold air and are pretty sturdy this should hold the raft up.
