Give Gold Roses Instead of Flowers

An alternative to traditional roses
Young girls and women love beautiful roses. They are a lovely way to celebrate a romantic holiday, congratulate an accomplishment or celebrate a birthday. But roses also fade and die pretty quickly and soon. The only thing that remains is a memory. An alternative to traditional roses is preserved, gold roses. Preserved roses are dipped in 24 K gold as well as platinum and silver. They are absolutely gorgeous and are guaranteed to last for years.

Gold roses - chosen at the peak of the blooming season
Each rose is chosen at the peak of its’ bloom and is dipped into precious metal of your choice. The process ensures that the rose is strong, so that it will not crumble or break. The dipped roses go through a 40 step process which ensures that the beauty of the rose is preserved. If you prefer color instead of dipping the entire rose in precious metal the rose can be dipped rose in lacquer to ensure that the color stays vibrant and so that the rose does not decay. Then the leaves and the stem of the rose are trimmed in either platinum or gold. These special types of roses are fantastic for celebrating anniversaries, romantic events, birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s Day or just because.

Gold Roses available in a variety of styles
You can find gold dipped roses here at Arttowngifts.com. We also currently offer platinum roses, silver roses, colored roses trimmed in gold or platinum. You can purchase single stems or rose bouquets such as a dozen gold roses or bouquet of 3 pink and gold trimmed roses. Preserved roses also come in a variety of colors. You can purchase two-toned, colored roses with 24 K trim as well as colored, lacquer roses with platinum trim. For example, consider a single red rose trimmed in gold.

Gold Roses stunning beyond the photos
Traditional roses are beautiful, but compared to gold roses, they are well, ordinary. Even the highest quality of roses has a short-shelf life, and while you can enjoy their vibrancy for a short time, they die in a week’s time. What better way to ensure that the celebration of a special moment or occasion lasts far longer then a week. Preserved roses provide a keepsake that will last for a life time of memories.

Time to Make that Corporate Christmas Gift List

It is that time of year again to start thinking about making your Christmas Gift List. If you are like me, every year you promise yourself that you will start Christmas Shopping early and then before you know it you are enjoying Thanksgiving Dinner. Our goal at the Arttowngifts website for unique gift ideas is to make your Christmas Gift shopping easy. I normally think about and divide my Christmas Gift List into two mini lists: Personal and Business.

So with that thought in mind we will share some ideas for neat Christmas gifts ideas that will more than delight your clients, corporate associates and employees without breaking your budget. First, for those Corporate Gifts and Client Appreciation Gifts, we have two great ideas: Christmas Gift Baskets and Personalized Corporate Gifts.

The main difference between the two is that Holiday Gift Baskets can be easily shared and often create good will throughout the company while a Personalized Key Chain is just for one person. So if you need that staff at your best client on your side, opt for a Gourmet Basket. If you can afford it, send the staff a Gift Basket and the main buyer a personalized gift. In some cases their corporate gift receiving policies might actually make a Gift Basket a better choice.

The first easy idea is to send an affordable Client Appreciation Christmas Gift Basket. This Bountiful Gift Basket is our most popular Corporate Gift Basket. And to make it easy and more than affordable, this Basket Food Gift comes in 6 different sizes. There are numerous traditional Corporate Christmas Gift Baskets available in various sizes and styles. My favorite is the Season's Greetings Gift Basket which is also available in three sizes. Another favorite Christmas basket gift is the Holiday Celebration Gift Basket also available in three sizes.

Stay tuned for Personalized Gift suggestions for clients and employees in my next post. Then I will close the deal with Christmas and Holiday Gift ideas for your friends and family. Just remember the trick is to order early and save on those last minute shipping costs. Most websites will take your order now and delay shipping if you just make that request. Talk to you soon!
