-
💡 Choose gifts based on the recipient for a thoughtful touch: Elders often prefer traditional pastries, while younger individuals might lean towards creative options. For corporate gifting, consider exquisitely packaged pineapple cakes or lava custard pastries.
-
📦 Pay attention to expiration dates: Some pastries with egg yolk or butter fillings have shorter shelf lives. Remember to check delivery times to ensure freshness.
