Let's talk piñatas for a minute, I know you've seen them, those crepe paper covered things hanging…read morefrom the ceiling of the party store. They're the fun looking animals that you may have hit with a stick at a birthday party at some time in your past. Remember, when the candy fell out from inside after you hit the fourth time? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. For the most part, the art of piñata-making has given up the art for more of the business. Only the most expensive piñatas are made in the old-fashioned papier mache way, all the rest, including all the ones you'll find at Boom Boom's, are made of cardboard. Being made of cardboard instead of papier mache makes the piñata that much harder to actually break open (did I mention you're blindfolded when you're trying to bash the piñata?). With all that said, Boom Boom does offer you something the others don't, some variety. If you're tired of the Mickey Mouse© and Sleeping Beauty© piñatas, then you should take a look inside. Boom Boom doesn't have much in the way of curb appeal, but what it lacks in signage, it more than makes up for in creativity once you step inside. Boom Boom's Balloons is two storefronts joined in the middle via a large wall cutout which adds size to both spaces. One side is dedicated to all things piñata and the other is the namesake of the store. The piñata side is filled with many variations on the theme: flying dragons, tiny elephants, giant bees, bears, giraffes, and a host of cartoon characters, not to mention the ubiquitous donkey and the slightly rarer rainbow-coloured unicorn. They range in price from around $15 up to around $35 or so, with the larger piñatas costing more. For those of you that really want to stand out in the crowd, Boom Boom's will custom make you a piñata to your specifications. Bring in a photo, a sketch or a clay model and they'll craft your image in cardboard and tissue paper. "It's like looking in a mirror." For around the same money you'd pay for a run-of-the-mill generic piñata at some big box store, you can get a very cool hand-made piñata and along the way help support an underappreciated art form. Get the mom who works there talking, she's got some great stories. Las historias son mejores en español.

These folks were so easy to work with and I got exactly what I wanted!…read more I wanted balloons to decorate for a celebration of my first year in business. They created cute little bunches of balloons that were just perfect! I knew I wanted a mix of mostly blue and white balloons with one orange one for fun. They staggered the height of the balloons so each bunch looked very nice and provided weights wrapped in fun sparkly paper/plastic. They delivered on time to the Event location and everything about working with them was a breeze. I will definitely go back for all my future balloon needs!

Wanted balloons for my husbands birthday at the office. Talked to Ron about what I was thinking…read more We exchanged photos of ideas, but I left it up to Ron to make all the decisions. He listened, and came up with exactly what I had in mind. If you want just some balloons on ribbon, there are places cheaper I expect. But I was looking for an arrangement of balloons, with more intention, and that is exactly what I got. Without having to do it myself! Big kudos!!!

I am so thankful we found Bounce House NW, it gave my daughter some normalcy during these very…read moreabnormal times. We rented one of the small houses that fit comfortably in our double car garage and it easily accommodated my daughter and her three preschool classmates. It was a perfect solution to a COVID appropriate celebration during the rainy weather. Booking online was very easy and the pricing was so reasonable that I was initially skeptical of it. John communicated well with delivery timing, set up was done efficiently, the rules and instructions were reviewed, and John did an on-site sterilization in addition to the one done prior to delivery. The entire process was professional and pleasant from start to finish. The only downside is that I didn't know about Bounce House NW last summer, they have several larger options with water features available and it would have been fantastic to rent one of those during the really hot days summer. I'll definitely be renting from them again

I wanted the white because it looked light and happy. She's turning 75 and cooped up at home because of thr stay-at-home order. She sent me a picture of the ballons and a black one was sent instead of white. The ballons were nice but I never would have picked black. I don't want to remind her of death or her mortality. I called Lighter Than Air. He pointed out that it's on the website that colors may be substituted....and sure enough, it is. They didn't do anything wrong. I just didn't read all the way down to see that I needed to call if I wanted to be specific about color. My bad. He was very nice and offered, without me asking, to refund my money or send out different ballons. That was above and beyond what he needed to do and I very much appreciated it!!! I will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone else.
