Abstract: A fragrance source is associated with the stuffed toy. In one embodiment, the fragrance source is disposed within a container contained within the stuffed toy or disposed within a pouch adjacent the stuffed toy. Air is directed past the fragrance source where the fragrance is mixed with the air to form an air-fragrance mixture. This air-fragrance mixture is directed upwardly through the hollow stem of the stuffed toy or its ornamental object and eventually emitted from the stuffed toy. Preferably the fragrance would be selected such that the scent emitted would simulate a scent which compliments the surrounding environment and its occupants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a balloon kit that provides one or more balloons, a cylinder filled with a compressed gas, such as helium, and a conduit adapted to connect to the cylinder. The cylinder comprises an ORMD cylinder that may be mailed or transported and used at any convenient time. When connected to the cylinder, the conduit punctures the cylinder and dispenses the helium into a balloon. After the balloon is inflated, the open end of the balloon is sealed to contain the helium in the balloon. The balloon kit may also include ribbons and/or weights to attach to the balloons and/or a card to present to a recipient along with the balloons. The conduit may comprise an external nozzle or an internal conduit disposed in an open end of a balloon. Exemplary cylinders include two sections threadably coupled to form a cylinder for holding the helium.

Abstract: An artificial flower is provided that includes a series of hollow stems and a series of petals with the respective petals being connected to upper end portions of the respective hollow stems. Opposed terminal ends of the stems are connected to a series of outlets that form a part of a manifold. The manifold, in turn, overlies or is disposed above an electric squirrel cage-type fan having a housing and an air inlet and an air outlet. Secured or disposed adjacent the electric fan is a fragrance housing having a fragrant source disposed therein and including an air inlet and an air outlet. Air is induced into and through the fragrance housing producing an air-fragrance mixture. Upon leaving the fragrance housing, the air-fragrance mixture is directed through the fan and therefrom into the manifold where the air-fragrance is dispersed through the respective hollow stems, ultimately resulting in the air-fragrance mixture being dispersed adjacent the petals.
