Purple Elephant by My Own Pet Balloons

I bought this for daughter's birthday, which was themed with her favorite animal, the elephant! I took it to a party store to be inflated, and much to our demise, they reported a slow leak, which they had looked for countless times. We taped the opening, in hopes the leak could be contained there, which it was not. Just be aware that this might happen.Despite this, I was able to get a general idea of how the balloon works, and it really is super cute, and if yours does not leak, a child, or even adult, will be charmed by having a "pet", complete with a ribbon-like leash! But, my particular review will give the balloon only 1 STAR due to the unknown leak, obviously a fault with the manufacturer.However, as always with my experience with Amazon, I give their customer service 5 STARS. They fully refunded my money for the defective balloon. I get kind of irked with folks who landblast Amazon for a defective product on their reviews, but report nothing of actually reporting it to Amazon. Amazon does a great job of listening to concerns and addressing defective items, and I have found them faithful and helpful to the customer everytime.

Its a present, for my Wife

The balloon is adorable. It just does not stay inflated for too long.

Super cute balloon, but it doesn't float at all. SO bummed it didn't work. Filled completely with helium and still falls to the ground just like air.

-even though we all thought he was beautiful! This one we gave to a lonely elderly person in an area nursing home. He was the talk of the corridor and very admired.

Super cute elephant that floats along with my baby. It's like having a little pet. Everyone adores it at the birthday party.

My daughter loves it! She will not let us through it away. It still holds the air 2 months later

I didn't buy this from amazon, I got it from a local balloon shop, but these things are SO fun and cute, and seem to last a long time (with gentle use... mine haven't been subjected to children but I imagine the paper parts would more quickly crumple). We got one for friends too and they loved it.
