How to Get Balloon Presents
The first thing you need to do is buy or craft a slingshot from the Nook store. They’re incredibly cheap to purchase, especially since it’s unlikely you’ll have a crafting option at the start of the game. Take your newly collected slingshot and stand ahead, of where the balloon is floating around. They move slow, but it’s incredibly hard to line up the shot correctly.

Try to anticipate where it’s headed and blast away to knock it down. Try to do so over land as it might be impossible to collect the item if you do knock it somewhere inaccessible. Just be careful, pick the right area and fire away with the slingshot to collect your reward. It’s usually always a great present to receive, and a nice bonus to your time on the island.
