Reviewing Gemar Balloons | Gemar Balloon First Impressions & Review

Let’s take a look at some Gemar balloons! In this video you’ll get my first impressions, initial review & my feedback and final thoughts after using them in a garland.
Italian balloon brand Gemar is now available in the US, but are they as good as the other premium brands? I’ve been getting asked for my take on them, so let’s take a look together!
I’ll be looking at packaging, colors, sizes, consistency in coloring (both in an individual balloon and also across different sizes of a single color), how they do during an install and more!

Great review today. Thanks for all you do.

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Thanks Susan!! 🤩

[@angiecolon6666]

I love this. It's cool to see your first impression of the balloons.

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Oh yay! thanks : )

[@AmandaMearesMorris]

I just love you. You’re so unapologetically real.

[@keedybaby9243]

Thanks because they just put a store near me… so wanted reviews before I buy

[@morganwilming]

I love gemar balloons when everything is out of stock 😩 I did an entire Halloween install using their orange and purple - you HAVE to try their purple. It’s so so pretty and the coloration looks nice!

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Ooooh sounds awesome! Would love to try it, thanks for sharing! 💜

[@dianeshell7724]

I’m just beginning my journey and the only party store in my area stocks Gemar and Qualtex. Thanks for the good review. I will be buying with confidence! Party Hero’s of Myrtle Beach, SC.

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Awesome! Enjoy! Qualatex is still my #1 but Gemar is a solid backup for me now 😍 good luck Diane! XOXO, Rach

[@reginajackson8915]

OK. I’m so nervous about using command strips I should practice more with those especially outside. And I watch a lot of your videos I love your personality and your videos are awesome I look forward to seeing them all the time. I’m sure you familiar with my name. LOL have a good day

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Yesssss thanks for the love girl! I do remember you every time you comment 😍 make sure you get outdoor command hooks for outside though okay? They make ones for windows, ones for outdoor walls, etc. just follow the directions on the package 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@mayraroman6244]

Do you know if these colors pop fast in the sun ?

[@eyanngalang2718]

I really love your videos ..what can you suggest wall paint safe hooks or adhesive to hold my garland ...I'm afraid to use some hooks that might damage our wall paint...

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Thanks! If you haven’t seen video 3 of the balloon garland basics series yet check it out, it’s on hanging with command hooks. They don’t work on 100% of walls but on most of them. You can always test it first and make sure it won’t damage the paint but they’re pretty good! XOXO, Rach

[@henrydanielvelasquezlopez1269]

wow, la verdad no pense que no habias probado la marca... en el sentido que ultimadamente ah sido muy popular, me super alegra que pongas a pruebas marcas... aunque en mi pais no las vendan hehe, un saludito :D

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

😂 yeah they’re still somewhat new to the US, hope it was helpful!

[@henrydanielvelasquezlopez1269]

@@BubblyBalloonCo too useful 💙😊

[@reginajackson8915]

Pretty thanksgiving colors. Do you use command strips on your wall to attach the balloons to the wall? And outside when you’re doing the garland do you use outside command strips?

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Hey there Regina! I do use command hooks a lot indoors, I know they make outdoor ones too, I usually try to tie to "things" whether indoor or outdoor as that's so much more secure! But command hooks are my backups - check out video 3 of my Balloon Garland Basics series on how to hang for a little more on that if you'd like : ) XOXO, Rach

[@reginajackson8915]

And also how much is the shipping on the GMR product

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

That would depend on who you're buying from : ) I bought from PS Helium and they offer free shipping over a certain amount, otherwise it's just standard pricing by weight/distance. XOXO, Rach

[@colesyn]

I have to say o really like this brand , there thick and about 13 “ so blow up big and the necks are long

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Nice!! They do blow up huge, right? 🪄

[@colesyn]

@@BubblyBalloonCo yes they do 😅 Iv been slowing stocking up on these as I only used to use sempertex,

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Oh! Yeah I would say they’re comparable to Sempertex quality-wise, but softer and stretchier I do like the colors from Sempertex though! Have you tried Tuftex? Or Qualatex?

[@lynnemcginnes8239]

I found these awful with helium and hi float. Inflated yesterday and half of them are down already!! Super disappointed 😔

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Oh no! I don’t work with helium and have no useful input on it, but I am curious, how long do other brands stay up for you? XOXO, Rach

[@alallen2767]

OMG! Beautiful shit...You make me laugh whenever you say stuff like I'd say it, if I were brave enough to video myself and share :) You can totally get a job with the circus, doing balloon art and magic, right?

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

🤣🤣I strive for truth 🤣🤣🤣 and I sure hope so! 😝 🎪🤹🏻‍♀️

[@jusscrystal]

I used to like gemar, their quality definitely fell off AND their customer service is trash

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Oh wow! I had no idea. : /

[@jusscrystal]

@@BubblyBalloonCo I had issues with red,green and black 12” bags of that I purchased. The red bag had 17 balloons with pinholes and 2 or 3 that just popped when inflating. There were also a lot of issues with the green and black.. I don’t remember how many but I complained directly with them.. their warehouse is right here in Hialeah,FL. They pretty much told me sorry not sorry. Didn’t rectify the problem at all. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I will only use them if I am desperate now but they obviously don’t want my business

[@mjj2072]

I’ve just bought Gemar and most of mine have pin holes not good won’t use them again

[@jusscrystal]

@@mjj2072 Their color assortment is nice but their quality is definitely questionable. You never know what you get in the bag
