Promotion Gift
When it comes to the end of the year, some of the companies might announce promotions to cheer everyone up so a nice promotion gift is necessary. Although flower is always a safe and convenient choice for congratulations, preserved flower could be a creative idea since as long as the preservation environment is fine, it can maintain the same appearance for a much longer time than a fresh flower and therefore symbolizes an evergreen and spectacular career.
