History of balloons and new highlights at HalloGeschenk

🎈 From the laboratory to the hearts – The history of balloons & our new balloon highlights on HalloGeschenk.de 🎈

When we think of balloons today, we associate them with birthday parties, baby showers, moments of surprise, and floating joy. They're colorful, cheerful, symbolic—and now available in truly unusual shapes. But did you know that balloons originally had nothing to do with celebrations?

Where do balloons actually come from?

The origins of modern balloons date back to 1824 , when British scientist Michael Faraday first made them out of rubber—not for birthdays, however, but for experiments with hydrogen. The idea was simple: an elastic container capable of enclosing gas. Only later was the balloon discovered for decorative and entertainment purposes.

Previously—and this is particularly fascinating—the Aztecs had already used animal bladders to create figurative balloons for ritual purposes. Today, fortunately, we have advanced significantly in material development: modern balloons are made of latex or foil, are reusable, and available in the most bizarre shapes and designs.
