sky lanterns have been around for about 2000 years since the Chinese needed a way of sending messages to one another during battles. In these modern times, the Chinese celebrate the Chinese New Year by letting off hundreds of Lanterns. In the last few years the lanterns have become very popular everywhere in Europe. The lantern came to the UK in the mid 90′s and has literally taken off in popularity. The lanterns are available in lots of different sizes and colours to choose from. There is a lantern styled to suit all occasions, like a wedding or a birthday party. Why not go for the unusual shaped football lantern, a real winner with football mad teens. The manufacturers recommend launching lanterns at night time to get best results. Many manufacturers of lanterns are concerned with the enviroment and should be made eco-friendly. A lantern can be flammable so children should not be allowed to hold or light one.
