On June 19, 1978, the Garfield comic strip was first published in newspapers. Since then, the fat orange cat has gone on to become a worldwide phenomenon. Garfield appears in more than 2,500 newspapers all over the world, and even has a Guinness World Record for the most syndicated comic strip. Garfield has also starred in several animated TV specials and two cartoon series, two theatrical released feature films, and countless other products.
So it’s a good idea to keep this highly recognizable & loved character in your gift shop, and luckily Kelli’s Gift Shop Suppliers carries some wholesale balloons and gifts featuring Garfield and pals. So in honor of Garfield’s upcoming 36th birthday, here’s a blog featuring the Garfield products we sell. First off, we carry a handful of Get Well wholesale balloons with Garfield on them. The first 18 inch Mylar balloon has Garfield hugging his beloved teddy bear Pooky, and the message says “You’re Too Cute to be Sick” (#11525, #11525B). Next has Garfield and all his friends (Odie, Nermal, Arlene) on the balloon, and the message says “Get Well Soon from All of Us!” (#15253, #15253B). And finally, we have a balloon with Garfield’s foot tied up by a bunch of balloons, and he is hanging from them upside-down (#115232, #115232B). The message on that one says, “Hope you’re back on your feet soon! Get Well!” Like our other 18 inch Mylar balloons, you can buy them loose and flat, or folded up individually in bags. You can tell if they are a bagged balloon by the B at the end of the item number.
