Frequently asked questions

What is a heartiversary?
A heartiversary is the anniversary of someone's heart surgery. Many families celebrate it every year as a second birthday, and a balloon saying "Happy heartiversary" is a lovely way to mark it.
What do spineversary, cancerversary and kidneyversary mean?
They mark the anniversary of spine surgery, of a cancer diagnosis or all clear, and of a kidney transplant. Any of these words can go on a personalised balloon.
Can I send balloons to a hospital?
Yes, but please check with the ward first, as some don't allow balloons. Many hospitals don't allow latex, so choose a balloon labelled Hospital-friendly. Add the patient's full name and ward to the address.
What if they've gone home or moved ward?
Patients can be discharged or moved at short notice, so please check they'll be on the ward on the delivery day. If they've moved or gone home, redelivery is charged at our normal rate. If you're not sure, send the balloons to yourself to take in, or to their home.
Can I add my own message?
Yes. Choose a balloon marked "Add your words" and type your message on the product page. Not sure what to write? See our ready-made messages above.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Yes, up until your order is despatched, and we'll give you a full refund. Once despatched, balloons can't be returned because they're filled with helium and often personalised.
Do you take orders from hospitals, hospices and charities?
Yes. Most orders can be placed on our website straight away. For bulk or regular orders, or if you need help first, use the form on our hospital, hospice and charity orders page. We reply within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
