Which colours to choose

  • Orange and red: energy, victory and confidence.
  • Yellow: joy and pride.
  • Bright mixed colours: celebration.

When not to give it

  • Sombre white or purple bouquets, which feel like sympathy.
  • Overly romantic red roses for a colleague's promotion.

Gifting tips

  • Mention the achievement by name. "Congratulations on topping your boards!"
  • Send it the same day as the news. Congratulations lose energy if they arrive late.
  • For a new job, add a line about what they'll bring to it.
