The Dollar Tree balloons? No frigging joke…they lasted from early March until June. I know this website is called Fake Toddler News. But this is a true story. They. Would. Not. Die.
“You get a toy. You get get another toy. You get a toothbrush. You get a pack of Thomas tissues.” It’s pretty perfect for some things if you are on a budget.
It became a game. Balloon Watch. The most dramatic thing to happen with a flying balloon since balloon boy tattled on his dad for that PR stunt like 10 years ago.
Here’s the other thing I think most people don’t realize. Dollar Tree has a pretty good selection of helium balloons. You might not have even noticed them. They usually stash them in the corner like they are trying to keep them a secret. Like, hopefully nobody sees these. You know that corner with like…weird kitchen stuff…and the closet sized office? They are right there.
All this is to say, if you need something very specific you might want to go somewhere else. It’s kind of like Big Lots. You’ll probably find something you want…unless you’ve already set a theme.
