Take a beautiful balloon ride from your imagination when you put together this treat box. It can hold ideas, treats or thoughts from your heart. Whatever you can fit in there will be appreciated. The ribbon gives it an added touch. The colors on this particular box are soft and vibrant all at the same time.
