My stepson got one for his last birthday. They're fairly entertaining, though not as real looking as in the videos. It's clearly a mylar balloon, but it's cool to swim it around the room nonetheless. It's worth noting that they lose helium over time, they'll have to do a partial refill at least every 2-3 weeks. It's imperative to give a small helium tank along with it (you can get one for about $20 at any party store.)

Airshark (which I loved from that Doctor Who Christmas episode).

My friend's kids would love these. I'll have to tuck the idea away for next birthdays.

If only it could knock at the door ... Candygram.
