A Journey to Find Unique Petit Gifts! 11 Stylish Sweets Discovered at 'TODAY'S SPECIAL'

2019.12.03 published

Choosing a Petit Gift is Difficult...!

One of the hospitality items for weddings and after-parties, the petit gift.

Unlike return gifts, petit gifts often don't incur a handling fee, and their high degree of freedom is where the bride can showcase her taste.

It is desirable to give a petit gift that guests have never seen before and is less likely to be duplicated by other brides.
