Flying Heart Lantern for Valentines

2»

Comments

  • We had one of these on xmas eve for dd to "send" a message to her grandad. Since he died we used to release balloons on special occasions but the lanterns were much more spectacular!

    We got ours from Play.com and even though the postman bent it to fit it through the letter box it still worked really well.

    I think they are quite magical and great fun to watch! Perfect for any occasion!

    I found them for £6.79 for 3 heart lanterns on www.flying-lanterns.co.uk if you use a discount voucher code REPJAN01

    just tried to use this code and total says 9.79:mad:

  • Sorry, I just checked.. I meant the lantners are £6.79 for 3 + p&p, so total = £9.74!

    These have been causing a stir in my town in recent weeks.People have been reporting seeing UFO`s until someone at a garden centre told them what they were.He now has a big sign up UFO`s For Sale Here lol
  • We live too close to the airport too albeit it's only a small airport used mainly during the day (no night flights) so not sure if we would be safe or not?

    Oops - my mistake, I had been looking at the packs of 3 earlier, but this is just for one lantern. They were £2.99 before Christmas. Think you can get them cheaper from ebay:

    thanks for clarifying that

    some good deals :beer: and they are a lovely idea
