Elf Adoption Centre Open
Elf Adoption Centre Now Open
It's that time of the year again and Santa's elves have decended on Miga's Balloons and are ready to be adopted into the homes of good little girls and boys. The elves are excited to learn about our world and about what your child desires for Christmas so they can report in to Santa. Head into Miga's Balloons 40 West St Goderich today or call 519-612-1771 to reserve yours today.
What is Elf on the Shelf?
All across Canada, people are bringing the Elf on the Shelf tradition into their homes. Adopt a scout elf today!
The Elf on the Shelf is a special scout elf from the North Pole. A scout elf's role is to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists. When a family adopts an elf and gives it a name, the elf receives its Christmas magic and can fly to the North Pole each night to report to Santa on all the day's activity. The Elf on the Shelf has to follow Santa's rule, he/she cannot talk or move while anyone in the house is awake. He has to sit still to watch and listen. Early each morning, before anyone is awake, the elf returns to its family and perches in a different place in the home. Children love to wake up and find where the elf has positioned himself or herself for the day.
There is only one rule when it comes to having an elf - an elf cannot be touched. Christmas magic is fragile and if an elf is touched it may lose the magic and be unable to return to the North Pole.
Every year your elf will return to your home at the beginning of the holiday season. On Christmas Eve, all of Santa's Elves return to the North Pole - until next year!
The original Elf on the Shelf package includes a magical scout elf from the North Pole and a beautiful, fully illustrated children's story book, all in a keepsake gift box.
Scout elf is 8" tall and sits easily anywhere you place him/her. Cost is $34.99 + HST per elf.

Do You Cosplay?
No but what is cosplay that I keep hearing
about? Cosplay is where people of all ages dress up as their favourite
characters from video games, movies, comic books and much more. Some people
purchase their costumes and others display their passion by making replica
costumes by hand. On of the best examples of this is Syfy’s Heroes of Cosplay. All
of the people on the show have been cosplaying for a number of years and
compete all over Canada and the US at conventions in the costume contests.


Heading to California not in the budget
this year? No problem. Toronto holds one the Canada’s top conventions in August
each year FANEXPO. With guest speakers, artists and actors from across the
Sci-Fi, comics, anime, horror and gaming. This is a great opportunity to try
out cosplay for the first time. Don’t worry you will not be alone. This year’s
FANEXPO will take place August 28th to 31st. You can check out all the details at www.fanexpocanada.com.
Not sure is you want to try and make your
own costume for your first cosplay? Miga’s Balloons + More in Goderich can
help. We have several costumes for rent that feature famous superheros, anime
chaarcters and film stars. Miga’s Balloons + More also has a wide range of

5 Questions to Consider When Choosing Your Centerpiece
The best way to add pizzazz and excitement to guest tables, buffet tables or dining tables is to grace it with a centerpiece. They’re called centerpieces because they become the center of attention on any table. It must draw the eye to the beauty of the entire table. Centerpieces shouldn’t be too obvious or overpower the place settings but it should complement them. (Tip: Decorate using an odd number of items.)
When guests enter the room, one of the first things they will notice is
the table centerpieces. Additionally, the centerpiece will be the thing they
stare at throughout the entire event. There is a lot of room for
creativity in designing the table centerpiece; it is a great stage to tell a
story by adding interest and to convey a theme such as with candles,
memorabilia’s, props, etc.
Five
questions to ask yourself before you settle on a design:
2. Will there be
enough room on the table for other elements with your centerpiece? Is there
enough room for all the china, glassware,
favors, condiments, place cards,
table cards, etc. without crowding the table? It is always best to have a
narrow base because you can always branch out at the top if it is necessary.
4. Is the
centerpiece sturdy? Make sure your centerpiece has a well-built base that
will not topple over especially with a heavy top. Additionally, be sure your centerpiece
as a whole is sound. Things to consider: petals aren’t so fragile that they
will easily fall onto dinner plates or glitter that will shake off when the air
conditioning is blowing or that the candles can melt out of their containers.
5. Does the centerpiece
work with the room? If a traditional ballroom is decorated in ornate
pieces, will an ultra-modern table centerpiece in acrylic boxes contrast with
the space? You don’t need to match the exact colors of the carpet, but clashing
styles or hues is not a good look.

Celebrating with Balloons
Kids birthday (Easter, Graduation etc) parties can be an adventure but have you ever noticed all these toys you buy them are only interesting for about a week? Your kids will hint, ask, torture you to buy them the latest toy from ‘X’ (insert favourite t.v. show/character here) for a gift. Then, when you go to try and get it to make them happy, they are sold out, over the top expensive or just so cheap you know they will be useless almost as fast as you buy it.
Well, why not think outside the box this year? At Miga’s Balloons +More we are always looking for fun and unique gift ideas for all occasions. Ranging from themed party accessories to balloon sculptures and foil balloons to simple party activities that won’t break the budget. Even better, after a week when your child is tired of it, almost all of our party supplies are 100% recyclable! This includes every part of our balloon bouquets and centerpieces.
