Giant Bubble Wrap

Does anyone know where I can get this from without spending a fortune? I've googled and found plenty of packaging shops who want to charge £40 for a huge reel, but I just want a couple of metres, and I'd rather it didn't cost an arm and a leg. Online would be easier.

WigWamBam · 04/05/2005 11:38

I wanted something a bit bigger than the Party Pieces one, I'd like all the kids to be able to jump on it together, and the Party Pieces ones were only big enough for one or two.

Party is in about three weeks time, I can't believe that Mini-WigWam is almost 4

Got any furniture shops or the like near you. Might be worth asking if they have any they want rid of.

WigWamBam · 04/05/2005 11:42
