Description
Introducing the first-of-its-kind reusable celebration solution for effortless balloon garland set-ups! Invented in Chicago by Emily Vaca of La Vaca, this patented innovation from MINNIDIP is the first cluster of reusable, latex-free, connected vinyl balloons with a single inflation point. Simply customize the color palette of your garland backdrop with multiple clusters for your special occasion. After your party, deflate and store... and mix and match with new colors for your next celebration!
PRO TIP: To get your MINNIDIP garland as round and smooth as possible, let the vinyl warm up in the sun or a warm room first to make it more pliable. After adding air, let it rest for a few minutes for the air to pass through all of the chambers evenly. Then add more air to make round before installing. IMPORTANT: Inflate until all puckering disappears from the seams and each balloon is a smooth, round shape. Creases in panels will disappear the longer it is inflated—you can even inflate days or weeks ahead of your celebration... or keep them inflated for months for more permanent installation!
FINISH DETAILS Minnidip Balloon Garland is available in different finishes and sheens. Please note the finish selected is in the product title. • Matte: Slight texture that creates a matte effect with very little sheen • Satin: Soft sheen • Pearl: Pearlescent finish that reflects light • Metallic: Reflective glossy sheen • Clear: Glossy transparent sheen
WHAT'S INCLUDED • Cluster: One 5-cluster vinyl balloon • Cluster Hooks: 2 Plastic hole hooks attached to the backside of cluster allow for securing to your structure or your wall hook of choice • Elastic Bands: A set of 6 clear elastic latex-free bands (3 each in 2 different sizes) that can be attached to the hook on the cluster to affix to the wall hook or structure of your choice • Repair patch
WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED • Air pump: The oversized air valve on the cluster can be inflated and deflated with any standard electric air pump intended for use with inflatables, such as inflatable pools, floats, or air mattresses. You can also inflate with electric balloon pumps, but these to not offer an exhaust to deflate the cluster so would need to be deflated manually. • Wall hooks: If securing directly to a wall, we recommend damage-free hooks that suit your specific application and that you follow all instructions provided with the hooks you choose. We recommend hooks designed to hold 2lbs for each 5-cluster and 12-cluster garlands, and hooks designed to hold 0.5lbs for the 3-cluster garlands. If using your string to tie multiple clusters together to create a chain, make sure you use heavy duty hooks equivalent per cluster. For example, three 5-cluster sets tied together need at least three 2lb - 5lb hooks along the chain to distribute the weight by attaching each cluster to a hook. • String: If you choose to use string rather than the provided elastic bands, we recommend natural string such as baker's twine to avoid slipping at the knots. You can use string to attach to a structure of your choice such as a metal arch, banister or similar. You can also use the provided elastic bands in these instances by looping and tying a knot like you would with string.

Q: Do you need to buy something to inflate these or does come with?
submitted by JM - 4 months ago
A: Hello, the air pump is not included but can be inflated and deflated with any standard electric air pump like those used for air mattresses or pool floats. You can also inflate with a electric balloon pump, but electric balloon pumps do not have a deflate mode so would need to deflate manually.

I love the quality of these balloons. The ease of inflating is a 10. The only thing that I did not like was the fact that the tube where you inflate is very wide and when you are done pumping air into it, the air comes out very fast because of the flimsy flap. I also don’t like that the balloons have these hooks for connecting them together. They should have been put on the back side.

Not worth the money! I bought these for my daughter’s birthday and blew them up once to check the size when we got home. Everything looked good so I gently deflated them and put them back in the box. Three days later, the day before my daughter’s birthday, I reinflated them and noticed a large break in one of the seams. I used the included patch and tried to inflate it again only to find another hole along another seem. We weren’t able to get another one in time for her party so unfortunately I’ll have to return it. The look was cute for the 2 minutes it lasted! Definitely more beach ball looking rather than balloon looking.

I love this. But it was definitely an items returned to target because it did not have the elastics or instructions included. And it was not in a plastic bag inside the box.

Pleasantly Surprised
We have a latex allergy so these balloons were a great alternative. They were easy to inflate and 24hrs later they are still going strong. I used a few zip ties to hang them up vs the pulls included and it worked great. Yes there are seams but it's really not that noticable and nothing a few filler balloons can't fix.

So quick and amazing
If you have ever done a balloon arch from scratch you know how time consuming it is. I do arches for all three of my kids birthdays each year and this is going to change my life haha.

Reusable ballons
I think the concept is great but it just doesn’t look how I want it to. You still have to use balloons for filler to make it look good and if you’re doing something for pictures you can see all the seems on the balloons. They are essentially large beach balls. If you’re someone who is very particular I wouldn’t buy it. It didn’t save me any time because it took forever just trying to make it look good.

Cute and wallet friendly
These viral Target balloon clusters were so easy to set up, but taking them down was even easier! Best part? I can reuse them, so way cheaper than helium balloons.

Versatile and reusable
Absolutely loved these reusable inflatable balloons for my daughters wedding shower arch! They created such a beautiful, elegant look without the stress of traditional balloons. I was amazed by how large and full they were once inflated — they really made the entire backdrop stand out. The quality was excellent, they were easy to set up, and I love that they are reusable for future events. They gave the same high-end appearance as regular balloon arches but were much more practical and durable. Highly recommend for weddings, showers, parties, or any special event!

Color is great with great durability. But it does not look like balloons. They were very heavy. They look like very thick and heavy beach balls.

So easy and latex free
These are so perfect! I feel like the negative reviews could be competitors or something because these literally could not be easier. You do need something to attach them to. I’ve used command strips on the wall, those metal backdrop holders and I also have two of the minnidip arches. The easiest imo are using the minnidip arches and command strips on the wall. We blow up the balloons using an air compressor (like for pool inflatables), and then connect the clusters to each other using the hooks/straps that come with the clusters. Once all connected, we then lift them onto the wall hooks or connect to the arch. I love these because they’re reusable, affordable and latex free. Latex allergies are more common than peanut allergies and exposure to latex is what causes people to develop the allergy. So really everyone should avoid latex balloons. We’re so thankful for these!

Not worth the money
Extremely hard to put together and make it look nice. The videos make it look so easy, but it is extremely difficult and extremely frustrating. If you do not have patience, do not buy this because you will want to throw it away. The quality is great and it seems very durable, but it is not easy to put together at all.
