Three months ago I gave my Daughter a Baby Shower, what's a Baby Shower without balloons! Am I right!?!? I ordered 4 bouquets of five balloons, they were fabulous! Not only were they exactly what I hoped them to be but they delivered them to ENUMCLAW! Red Balloon Company ROCKS! I want to say Thank You Red Balloon Peoples for making the whole process so easy, I was very pleased. I HIGHLY Recommend them! Oh, and as I mentioned it was three months ago.... I still have one balloon surviving!!! read more

Your delivery driver was so frustrated by my slow speed (27mph in a 25mph zone) that they passed me halfway up the hill on 23rd/24th. I can only imagine that they had a critical balloon emergency and every second counted because they remained the vehicle directly in front of me all the way down Aloha and 15th. I hope that 30 seconds they saved was worth speeding through our neighborhood. This is not the behavior I expect from a company that focuses on children. read more

I found the price sheet confusing. I bought 7 balloons which I thought would fall under the 6- 24 category at 2.25 a piece. Apparently the balloons will not float for more than 24 hours without the special helium for an extra 50 cents per balloon. I bought them at 1pm and needed them next morning at 930am and was advise to pay extra. balloon price 7*2.25 = 15.75 helium 7*3.50 = 3.50 total should be 19.25 before taxes To get to $21 , it is like taxes first 5* 2.50 = 12.50 next 2 *2.25 = 5 helium = 3.50 The person gave me an extra balloon, nice gesture but due to confusing pricing will not be back. I am little sad was planning to use them for upcoming events. Also caphill is so hard to find parking, I was so scared of popping them just even walking 3 blocks. You will be surprised how many people, dogs, low roots and untrimmed shrubs and trees I had to avoid. read more

I've been popping in to the red balloon a lot lately with all of the special occasions and Ive really fallen in love with it. It cost a bit more than the big chain party stores but they have a lot of really interesting and fun gifts. Everyone that works there is kind and lovely. The only complaint I could possibly have is the lack of parking around there but such is city life. They get you in and blow up your balloons quickly. A new favorite spot for me. read more

Amazing selection of jelly cats and sunny angels! One of my favorite toy stores to browse through, the staff is always very friendly and accommodating. read more

I have bought balloons and other items from this store many times over the past ten plus years. I live 2+ miles away and it's nice to have a place somewhat close to be able to get balloons for birthdays or other parties. I usually go pick them up on location and today a lady there wanted to make sure the balloons got in my car so she put the 13 balloons in there. I know if I get balloons from them they will look good. I will go back! read more

Huge shout out to the team here. I am a personal assistant and I tend to get a lot of tasks last minute from the family I support. I was asked to get balloons and goodies to make a birthday celebration complete. I was able to call this business and within 20 minutes have the most festive ballon presentation and the amount of party favor add ons were so spectacular that I will most certainly be back for more purchases for more celebrations. Take your time and explore this shop, the isles are all zig zag and are packed with items. Hands down the best part supply store I've bee been in! Thanks for having created a customer for life! read more

I will suggest visiting this store for all the cool merchandise: awesome cards, cool games, gift Ideas. There is a great selection. However that said, be prepared for a disconnect in customer service. As I moved around the store browsing, the clerk keep saying "Excuse me", and asking to to move so she could pass. A time or two is okay no worries, but she shouldn't have kept asking me (the customer) to step aside. The are many aisles in this store she could have gone down. "Pick another aisle please, go around". read more

These guys rock! A balloon and party supply business might be struggling during a pandemic where folks are discouraged from gathering, so I wanted to leave a review for these folks! I had a socially distant outdoor birthday gathering recently and ordered some number balloons, birthday balloons and weights. The staff (potentially owners?) seemed very kind and arranged the balloons in a way that would make it easier to walk to my destination after balloon pick up. The ordering on the website was seamless. I also was able to call them to adjust my pickup time to earlier than I had initially booked with no issues. Ordering on the website resulted in a promo code that they were able to retro-actively apply to my order - which is great! I'd recommend this place to order any party supplies for decorations around town, and also once it is safe to have gatherings and celebrations! read more

I never write reviews but I feel strongly that Red Balloon Co should not be your choice. 1.It was virtually impossible to get someone to take my order on the phone. Eventually someone asked for my number and they called back about 1 1/2 hours later?!? 2. Their website has not been updated in quite sometime. The prices were doubled online and the delivery charge was $50 for a delivery nearby 3. I ordered a " walking" dinosaur balloon with a height of 59". That's almost 5ft. What was delivered was more like 36". 4. I ordered polka balloons, received solid color instead 5. I was promised a later in the day delivery around 3pm, instead they texted saying they would be there between 9am and noon! I had to call (4x) to alert them again of the agreed delivery time *** Thank God this was for a 2 year old's birthday because it was big enough for him. I spent $80 ( $20 for delivery). So so frustrating. Poor customer service and personally disappointing. read more

We used The Red Balloon Company for a client event here at the Renaissance Seattle. Ordering was easy, delivery was perfect and it was overall an excellent experience. Mike, owner, personally dropped off balloons for us. We will definitely recommend The Red Balloon Company to our customers, as well as using them for internal team member events. Excellent quality! I highly recommend them for any balloon/gift needs! read more

Went here to find the right color balloons for my cousins baby shower and they were so helpful! I recommend it as this place will demo the latex balloons so u can make sure the colors are right when its blown up. Bought 150 balloons didn't even hit $50. Well worth it since they knew my garland project was a special one read more

I love to entertain and throw parties... I am very picky when it comes to party aesthetics... balloons/plates/wrapping paper... it's all gotta match and make sence. I haven't stepped into a party city in years because this place is my go to. Everything is very updated and not cheesy like other party stores. They have a wide variety of balloons, cards, wrapping paper, gifts and everything else you would associate with a party. And I come so often that I've even gotten to know the employees pretty well. Have to say, Amanda is my favorite. She is always so helpful, and I always get a good laugh while I'm shopping. Don't think I've ever left this store without a smile on my face. I hope they will eventually expand and open more spots. read more

The staffs were nice. The store has many designs and sizes of balloons. The store has other party supplies too.

Always my go to when I needed some decorative balloons for special occasions. They always give you 2-3 free balloons in case some pops on the way. Only downside: expensive. read more

The Red Balloon Company - Bday balloons - Toy Stores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I ordered some graduation balloon bouquets. When I went to pick them up, the store is colorfully decorated with a lot of fun, quality products. My balloons were ready to go and the friendly gentleman who checked me out even walked the balloon bouquets down the street a couple blocks and helped me get them into my car. They even added a couple extra balloons in case any of them popped. I will definitely order again and come back to the store to shop for small gifts such as delicious Seattle-made Theo chocolate, cute stuffed animals, etc. Thank you Red Balloon Company for a great job! read more

Just picked up a gorgeous balloon bouquet for my daughter's third birthday. They are stunning! Even better than I expected. I ordered online late the night before and they had them ready for me to pick up shortly after opening in the morning. Staff was masked and extremely friendly. read more

One stop party shop!! Love this place and the owner Mike. It has everything you need- balloons, hats, decor, cards, gifts, you name it. Really cute and unique stuff too. And AMAZING balloons- I saw two unicorns head out the door when I was coming in. I had Elmo balloons filled for my daughter's birthday party and Mike was so great. He took amazing care of us and treated us like first class citizens even though he was crazy slammed with graduation events and balloons. We were so impressed with the Red Balloon Company. This is the only party place to go to! And I always love supporting community companies as opposed to big box companies. thank you Mike!!!! read more

Party city took my money then refused to deliver to my location. THANKFULLY I was able to get same day pickup close to my home with the Red Balloon Company. Super fast everything! I ordered online and was able to pick up in within hours. I believe the owner helped me put my balloons in the car. He was so helpful and kind and I so appreciate everything done to make my sister's 30th birthday special! read more

I must say, I am a total fan of this place! Customer service is always super friendly and they are very great at providing ideas or options to help get the best balloon bouquets for your parties. I can usually call same day and get stuff very quickly which is nice for last minute planners in addition. In addition to the balloons, they have an amazing selection of last minute gifts that are unique and quirky! read more

Have been coming here for about a year now. Always the go to spot for balloons and great cards for birthdays and holidays :) definitely will be coming here every single time. Love this place read more

I ordered for my event online for next day delivery. It was easy to do; the website is very user friendly. Because my event was in a restaurant, I received a phone call to make sure the delivery would match my need. The website guarantees the balloons will last 2 days. The balloon are over a week old, holding the helium and have not shrunk! I am so impressed with the quality of service and product. Thank you! read more

With the Corvid shutdown and my Wife's 60th Birthday Celebration outside of our home severely hampered, I reached out to Mike and his Family for help and they made it happen! Mike spent ample time communicating with me to arrange for a delivery day and time during the Memorial Day Weekend and his Wife was so very nice when she met me in the driveway. The Balloons were super fun and a huge surprise to my Bride! This is the second time that I have ordered from them and the communication and product longevity has been excellent. Awesome people who will help make your own special occasion a memorable one. Ken read more

I just experienced extremely rude service at check-out. The cashier did not understand how to handle a split transaction. Instead of asking for help, she kept telling me how difficult this was going to be. After making mistakes with my credit card, she told me to "just GO!" I said I wasn't leaving until my presents were wrapped, and that I couldn't believe she told me to leave. She denied saying that - but then I repeated her exact words to me. I then took my unwrapped gifts and left the store with my children. She acted like wrapping my gifts was going to be a big deal, and then she acted very rudely in front of my children - who were attempting to pay in cash. I am done supporting this business. I'm done with the combination of rude service and over-priced items. read more

Today I stopped into this shop to buy a birthday card and a thank you card. The birthday card is for my cousin's 8 yr old son and the thank you card is for his 13 yr old brother. The 8 yr old has brain cancer and is pretty much unconscious in a North Carolina hospital. They had to do emergency surgery recently because the tumor was causing his eyes to bulge out of his head. His birthday is Monday and he has a long road to recovery. The 13 yr old has been spending a lot of time at the hospital so I wanted to acknowledge him and the support he's giving his family with a thank you card. I purchased a few books for both kids at my neighborhood bookstore. The 8 yr is not able to read but I got him a book so my uncle could read it to him. I'd hoped that I could pay to have the books gift wrapped when I purchased the cards but was told that only items purchased at the store could be wrapped. The manager Neal said "we don't have a gift wrapping service." I was incredibly frustrated at this. I was willing to pay for the wrapping, all the wrapping supplies were there, I have spent a lot of money at that store, this was important. I should have planned ahead better so I wasn't in such a time crunch but life happens. The 8 yr old's birthday is Monday, today is Friday. I needed to overnight these items at this point. So, I will be boycotting this store and will share this story with my family, friends and co-workers. Also, I work at a very large business just down the street, so I think news of this incident will spread at work. I'm sure many of my coworkers go to this shop for cards and other gifts. read more

The balloon selection is great, and if you get "high-float" the balloons last for like a month. So they get a star for that. They also replaced a broken bubble machine once, so I loved these guys for a long time.... However, the low rating comes in after my last time there. I was with my potty-training just-3-year-old. I know they have a staff bathroom and while I understand it not being "public" denying a 3-year-old bathroom usage AT A TOY SHOP is pretty much the worst business model ever. When I explained that he could not hold it til we walked to find a "public" bathroom and he would likely wet his pants, they said that wasn't their problem. They sell toys, but don't care about kids. Awesome. I hope someone who cares about the community and about their children patrons comes in and takes over this huge space in a great location. read more

In need of a last minute, awesome gift (and card) ? The Red Balloon company is the perfect spot for picking up a gift for anyone from 2 years old to 80 years old. With funny cards, a variety of balloons, gag gifts, educational gifts, board games, science kits, even ant farms...this cute store has it all. And even though I've never found a use for them, you could even get very realistic painted miniature farm animals here too! If I'm walking by I find it hard not to stop in here and at least take a look around. read more

Horribly rude checkout clerk. I wish I had not bought anything here. Will never return.

I had 50 balloons delivered to my sister for her 50th birthday. Emily was amazing to work with and although there was a mistake in the order, she was very quick to make it right. I will definitely be doing business again with them! read more

Great place to get a last minute gift for a kid, or just get balloons and cards for your friends and family at any age. They always have really nice service, too. There's a variety of toys, books and games - but this isn't really a "toy store" (think of it more as a "gift shop"). But there's a surprising amount of stuff for such a little store, variety wise. From some trucks/cars, to arts-and-crafts, to the "Schleich" line of toys (animals, knights, etc) - you'll find it here. And did I mention the balloons? Every kind from the cheapest to the most expensive mylar-military-weather-balloon-never-lose-air™ grade - they have it all. Plenty of cards too - from the blank to the silly to the touching, I've never found this place to be lacking in that regard. No parking except street parking, but that's to be expected on 15th in Capitol Hill. read more

The guy who took my order tried to dissuade me from having the helium tank delivered because he thought there would be a lot of traffic on the day and time I needed it delivered. I order some balloons and a helium tank for an event. I asked which size tank would be needed for the amount of balloons and they insisted I would need the larger tank, which is quite expensive. It ended up being overkill and could have probably done with a much smaller tank. A day after we returned the tank I got a call from the store asking me when we were going to return the tank. The tank was delivered on time and the store is conveniently located but for me doesn't make up for the lack of knowledge of their products and a few weak links in customer service. The little things make a big difference. read more

I think this is a great addition to Capitol Hill. There really isn't anything like it close by (for us)...besides balloons, they do have lots of other toys & gifts. I have shopped there many times for cards & gifts for adults as well as for our little guy. I have to give the workers there props too, because they have always been very helpful, have sometimes given us free balloons at the end of the day (the latex ones they sometimes put outside, which get thrown out at closing). Recently I called 4 hours before a 2 year old bday party, and they were super helpful, got a dozen balloons ready for us & made sure to wait until 1/2 hour before we got there so they were "fresh" & would last the longest. It wasn't a huge purchase, but I fully expected to have to give them a credit card #, but they didn't. It just felt like a very neighborhoody type of experience. It can seem pricey - but part of that is the quality of the toys they carry. These are the same prices for other Haba & similar toys that are carried at other local brick & mortar stores (yes you can find them cheaper online, but that is the case w/ most things). I guess it could feel like a "waste of retail space" if they don't have things that you want, but from a kid's point of view, there are a zillion great things, it is fun to spend time there & they are always welcoming even though our little guy throws the bouncy balls all over the place (yes I make sure to pick them up before we leave)! read more

"So. Ummmm I might be buying a twirling ribbon. It's a colored ribbon on a stick. And you twirl it. Whilst dancing gaily." "Lol. DO IT." And so I did! It's glorious. And totally worth $9 (for the original. The larger size is $11). I can't wait to prance about with frivolity on these bright summer days, amongst the flowers and trees in the parks or on the street. It will be fun and lighthearted and you will all be super jealous of my stylish whimsy. But anyway. This is a surprising store. I say this because I knew it was a party supply destination, and figured it would have your average birthday cards and such but was surprised at the unique selection of quality toys, gifts, and games. There were books, stationery, soaps, magnets, dolls, puzzles, figurines for pretty much everyone you could think of - children and adults alike. (I mean, I just bought a twirling ribbon for MYSELF) For gifts and assorted sundry, Red Balloon is way better than Urban Outfitters. It's more happy than jaded, engaging versus bored elitism. Sure they've stuff for kids. But most importantly, they have stuff that reminds you of how much fun you had when you were a kid. And that's why you should spend your money here - there's something in every price range. read more

I would not recommend coming here. They are terribly over priced. $15.99 for a number balloon! That is crazy ridiculous! First off when I walked in, I walked straight to the counter and stated what I needed. The woman at the counter proceeded to point to in some direction of the balloon racks. Horrible customer service. I will not be back, EVER! read more

This is one of those "Whaaa?" retail location choices. Tucked into the bustling hip scene of 15th Avenue between coffee shops, boutiques, nationally renowned restaurants and bars, we have this: A BALLOON SHOP. Ok, ok, they do more than that: they've got toys and party supplies and greeting cards. But still: this place doesn't fit and takes up a primo location that feels wasted. I don't have anything against the company, but it just really doesn't fit with the street. Sure: they might get business from folks with family in the hospital (classic balloon bouquet recipients), but the hospital is just far enough away that it doesn't quite work. Parents planning kids parties (sure, there are parents on the hill) might go there, but they've got Shop Rite full of cheap party supplies instead. And if they want toys, Capitol Hill parents have enough money to take their kids to Magic Mouse or Tottini or some other overpriced designer toystore. Not this place. The whole thing feels odd, like that grandma shop "TILDEN" that's been on the corner of 15th and Harrison for ever and ever and is always empty. read more

I adore this place. The fantastic German animal figures. You don't have to go down to grotty Pioneer Square to Magic Mouse to get your daily allowance of wire hair fox terriers and dinosaurs. It's wonderfully clean, the guy behind the counter is friendly and funny-I'd kill for his great skin! The cards are unusual-crows wearing wellies, marvelous old tintype photos... The Steiff animals(high end stuffed) are priced way below any other toy store in town. I really hope they make a go of it. Next time it's the silly box of super model meal (stick of gum) oh, don't forget the Mother Teresa breath Spray!! read more

The selection for balloons was amazing! The shop itself was very clean and well organized, the service was outstanding! Had ordered several balloons for a baby shower, we paid and picked them up the following day. They were well presented and priced very well. Highly suggest this place if you're looking for fun balloons or basic ones. read more

I don't know how many times I've passed by this gift shop over the years. Finally headed into The Red Balloon Co to look for a card today. This is a pretty good gift shop for kids and adults alike. Though I agree with some other reviews that it's an odd fit for Capt Hill. There are lots and lots of cards -- I found what I was looking for (an engagement card) and got a random one too just cause it was cute. Though I freakin hate hate hate how expensive cards can be. Anyways, I got some Theo chocolate to go with the card, and there's also a candy dispenser wall (I def saw novel colors of M&Ms, there may also be jelly beans?). A corner in the back is devoted to balloons, helium and the regular kind. There's wrapping paper and party supplies, such as plastic cups and fancy napkins. I was surprised to see a book aisle as well. The adult gift section reminded me of a scaled down Fireworks (http://www.yelp.com/biz/fireworks-gallery-seattle-3#hrid:3xGq1pAE_Wlr4sZZBPVgZQ/src:self). The kid gift section is more expansive with all sorts of toys. I don't know anything about toys or toy brands so I can't really comment, but I will prob come back here for some Christmas shopping! There are also (board) games up front, I imagine for both kiddos and grownups. The woman that rang me up was really nice and overall I quite enjoyed my shopping excursion this afternoon. I'm sure I'll return to The Red Balloon. read more

How could you not like this cute little shop on 15th that carries everything gifty and child-like? Candy, cards, little toys, greeting cards, artsy books. All the makings for a fantastic gift for someone or yourself. This is my favorite Red Balloon location. The one downtown doesn't feel as warm. I bought a really cool art book on vintage design and some candy for my daughter as well as some cute Halloween-y types of decorations. Friendly guy behind the counter too! I'll be back. read more

Red Balloon Co's main gig is delivering big, ugly balloon bouquets. I'd never heard of such a thing until this business took over the lot that was previously occupied by the unfortunately managed Rainbow Grocery. However, the retail space is given over mainly to toys, games and party decorations. They have a couple of cool things, but this store is really mainly a waste of a huge, prime retail lot on a bustling and vibrant neighborhood retail corridor. The people are nice enough, but this store has something like a 90/10 crap to interesting or desireable ratio. read more
