For 3, 6 months or even 1 year, she will receive pretty bouquets each month that she can display in a vase.
She will think of you at each reception and they will decorate her interior.
In the register of decoration,
Does your friend love trying new things and making discoveries?

Cooking lessons, wine tasting, or even a mixology workshop, the choice is yours.
Also take a place for yourself so that you can accompany him and that you share this moment together and you make beautiful memories together.
