What's Up Wednesday, December 17, 2025 #204

Ken Tuley ·

This week on What's Up Wednesday, it's order pick-up time, and looking forward to 2026.

Yes, it's true, Balloon Fiesta Stuff shopping is finished for 2025. Both our online and gift shop are closed for the year. We have inventory and year-end processing to do, and then there's the actual holidays...so we thought we'd offer up this little ditty.

The shopping is finished, the choices are set,
Your Balloon Fiesta favorites are waiting—don’t forget.
We pause for the season as the year winds down,
With thanks for the moments and memories found.
Online shopping returns on New Year’s Day,
Right where we left off… just a click away.

👉 All Balloon Fiesta Stuff orders must be picked up by Friday at 5 pm.  If you have any issues or need assistance, please contact us—we’re happy to help.

The new year will be here before you know it, and we're already deep in plans for 2026. New products are already being selected and manufactured. And we have something else new up our sleeves. 

You have told us you'd like some Saturday shopping and pickup options. We have also seen a huge increase in the popularity of pin trading. So here's the deal. Starting in January, once a month, we're going to host a shopping and pin trading Saturday. It will be the first Saturday, following the first Wednesday of the month. The idea is you can order your Pin of the Month on the first Wednesday, then pick it up on Saturday during pin trading time. And even if you are not into pin trading, we'll be open for in-person shopping and order pickup. Again, it starts in January. The first Wednesday is the 7th, which means the first shopping and pin trading Saturday is January 10. 9-noon.

Thanks for your support of Balloon Fiesta and Balloon Fiesta Stuff.
