How our models met… True story!
We’re proud to say our Valentine’s models are our own – RedBalloon Corporate Account Executive James Rudd and his lovely girlfriend, Sammy. I cornered James in the kitchen and asked him a few questions.
Valentine’s Gift Ideas for Sharing
On your birthday, it’s all about you. You get the gifts. You invite your friends. You get all the attention. But on Valentine’s Day, it’s all about, well, the two of you. Which is why you should share an experience this Valentine’s Day.

Fondue & Martinis for Two – Review
Chocolate, martinis and strawberries – oh, my! Chocolate, martinis and strawberries… It was time to stop gushing over the delicious array of food that was sitting in front of me and start consuming.

Five RedBallooners volunteer at a cat and dog rescue shelter and discover that despite their differences, cats and dogs share the need for something very special.
