Can anyone recommend a balloon company in central Edinburgh?

I am coming to Edinburgh in a couple of months and would like some balloons to be waiting in the room for us on arrival. The hotel is on Princes Street, I have spoken to the hotel and they have said they’re more than happy to take delivery of the balloon bouquet and put it in the room ready for us arriving. I don’t want anything massive just a few helium happy birthday balloons but have no idea of where to order them from for delivery. I’ve seen loads online but have no idea if they’re good or reliable so any recommendations would be great!

Thanks

Wait, so you want to buy balloons for yourself and pretend to be surprised?

I'm guessing they are for someone she is traveling with.
Although I thought they were being phased out because they wasted a valuable natural resource?

zoes face painting and ballons is really good, I’ve used her a couple of times based in Edinburgh, she’s on Facebook and has a website.

They last in the oceans forever so don't let them go.

@Migrainesbythedozen no Confused What a weird thing to say. I’m taking my 9 year old son for his birthday and want some balloons in the room as a surprise for when we arrive.

I won’t be letting them go, again why would I do that? I just want a couple of balloons to make my son happy on his birthday!

Thanks @Froppysue I’ll take a look now!

@FabbyGabby The way you wrote it made is sound as if the balloons are for you and from you.

At risk of being called all sorts (sanctimonious, holier than thou, virtue signalling? Take your pick 🤣) I can't wait for people to stop wrapping a precious finite resource in single use plastic for a day or so's decoration.

Sorry to piss on your parade, but balloons should be banned

To be fair I say helium but the last balloons I’ve had are filled with air, I’ve still got the 30 (from last summer!) from my birthday in my spare room because they don’t deflate quickly due to them literally just being filled with air. So I won’t have helium ones, you’re right I never thought about the helium aspect I’ll get a number stack that is air filled 👍🏻
