The invention includes methods and apparatus for a balloon support bracket that may be secured to an attachment surface such as a light pole or fence and may further be coupled with one or more helium-free balloons through a balloon support. Additional embodiments include novel quick-release coupling and security features to enhance ease of use and deter theft.

An inflatable holiday decoration device includes a balloon structured to resemble a holiday character when the balloon is inflated. The balloon has a weighted base to facilitate the balloon to remain stationary on a support surface. A plurality of light emitters is each integrated into the balloon having each of the plurality of light emitters being directed into an interior of the balloon for illuminating the interior of the balloon. A charger includes a panel and a stake extending downwardly from a bottom surface of the panel. The stake tapers to a pointed end which can penetrate the support surface having the panel is spaced upwardly from the support surface. The charger is in communication with the plurality of light emitters for powering the light emitters.

Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to a balloon holder that can position a non-helium balloon vertically above a surface on which the balloon holder is positioned for providing an inflatable display. The balloon holder can include a weighted base and a hole positioned within the weighted base. The balloon holder can further include a securement tube that can be positioned at least partially within the hole of the balloon holder. Additionally, the inflatable display (or the balloon holder) may include a support structure. The support structure couple the balloon to the balloon holder and aid in holding the balloon vertically above a surface on which the balloon holder is positioned.
