Frisbees would be fantastic!!!!!
How about flowers?
In the past, balloons were decided against because of the environmental
issues (they are a hazard to wildlife, have a short use and then go to
landfills where they do not decompose readily, and are considered a
non-renewable resource).
My $.02, which is worth very little.
