A balloon weight includes a display clip having first and second clip members biased to be in close proximity to each other at a clip end and separate from each other each other at a squeeze end. The display clip has a base mass. A first weight piece is adapted to be selectively affixed to one of the first and second clip members. This first weight piece has a first supplemental mass. A ribbon has a first end secured to either the first weight piece or display clip and a second end affixed to a lighter-than-air balloon. A second weight piece may also be selectively affixed to the other of the first and second clip members. This permits the creation of composite balloon weights with different masses.

A balloon inflator includes a housing, a motor within the housing, and a fan operable by the motor to drive air to an inflation nozzle. The inflation nozzle provides an outlet. A nozzle adaptor is configured to fit over the outlet of the inflation nozzle and provide an alternate outlet. A nozzle receipt is provided by the housing to selectively receive the nozzle adaptor and a switch is provided at the nozzle receipt. The nozzle adaptor is selectively received at the nozzle receipt so as to trigger the switch, and is selectively removed from the nozzle receipt so as to not trigger the switch. The switch controls the power supplied to the motor, such that different motor operating parameters are realized when the switch is triggered and when the switch is not triggered. In a particular embodiment, the nozzle adaptor includes vent channels that exhaust a portion of the air to the atmosphere when a balloon is fitted over the alternate outlet to receive air driven through the nozzle and the nozzle adaptor.
