Sips & Succulents Grab 'n Go for Busy Apartment Teams

The sips can be anything you like! From seltzer to tea, to cocktails. Succulents are available pretty much everywhere these days. Before stocking up on succulents or any plants that you give out at events, be sure to check if they are safe for pets and humans. Although the majority of succulents are safe for pets and humans, there are exceptions. Do an online search for more information.
