Reusable balloons? Do they exist?

They are a big request for customers of mine but at the end if the day go in the bin. I am wondering if there is a reusable alternative so we can provide the decorations without adding to the landfill!

Does such a thing exist?

I don’t know but there are biodegradable balloons which are better for the environment than the disastrous latex/rubber and foil ones, though still not perfect.

Latex is a natural product and biodegradable (some people even successfully compost it). Steer away from foil ones if you can. How about large paper pompoms, like this www.partydelights.co.uk/product-detail.aspx?ProductID=DECO403&gclid=Cj0KCQiA8vSOBhCkARIsAGdp6RQttgmcgabgRGubYCvVUufaWoRttUnzQ5bd9i94qkvXCku7Pnl68YIaAqgREALw_wcB no good for playing with, but an alternative if just for decoration?

Giant baubles?

Thank you all.
I have nowhere to hang things so it has to be more like balloons where they can be on the tables.
Any other freestanding ideas welcome! We are also pop up and have to put everything away so can't be huge pop up characters etc.
