How long do helium balloons stay up?
Half a day for latex, three days treated, a week or more for foil: when to collect for your party (sample).
Party notes
Notes from the counter: how long balloons last, costume ideas that need no film licence, face paint that washes off, and what is new on the shelves.
Carving pumpkins that last until the 31st
Carve late, keep them cool and use battery lights: a pumpkin carved in the last week looks good on the night (sample).
Dressing the doorstep for Halloween
Three pumpkins, one web and a string of lights: a front door that says trick-or-treaters are welcome (sample).
