As many birthday traditions are currently impossible (read: boozy brunches and boisterous BBQs) we are looking for innovative ways to celebrate reaching another year.
Enter: balloon arches, the new celebrity staple for birthdays in lockdown.
Kate Ferdinand started the craze by posing in front of an array of multi-coloured balloons, adding some pizazz to the usual birthday Instagram snap.
We adored the balloon arch displayed by Amy Childs, who celebrated her 30th birthday in style during lockdown.
Not wanting to miss the trend, Georgia Kousoulou went all out on her birthday with some very #extra pink tasselled balloons.
Luckily, DIY balloon arches are available for an absolute steal on Amazon, meaning you can create a show-stopping birthday surprise for your nearest and dearest.
It may take a bit of time assembling the arches, but it's definitely worth it. They have amassed plenty of glowing reviews from customers.
One wrote, "We had so much fun with this balloons. Colours are gorgeous and lasting long. As we are blocked in the house I was thinking to do some fun for my children with 100 pc of balloons. All the room full, and was worth it because my husband and I with kids we enjoyed so much."
