Helium Balloons

Does anyone know anywhere that you can get balloons inflated as one-offs with helium?

I only need to inflate two or three so buying a helium tank would be a little unnecessary!

But every home should have a tank of helium in the loft, I know mine does!

Seriously though, a small tank doesn't cost too much; and when someone's birthday rolls around a helium balloon is always a nice extra.

It can also, on occassion, be hilarious.

Can you recommend somewhere too buy a cheap tank from Lawrence?

Bigger Asdas should have then for 20 something quid. Pretty sure Clinton Cards do them individually too though.

A helium tank is more fun though...

Stores specialising in party items, fancy dress and so on will probably be able to supply individual helium balloons, Partyland is one such store and I'm sure there are similar ones dotted around the UK.

Most big Asdas will also fill individual foil balloons (if bought from there of course). Not sure if that helps as I can imagine the foil ones are not that useful to you.
