5. Balloon ornaments. Let’s face it. The desired shelf life of most party favors is about the lifespan of a balloon.

These balloon ornaments fulfill their purpose of holiday flair. But by the time the desired effect has all but deflated, the balloon will have too and you can discard them guilt-free.
