As Tet draws near, everyone is racking their brains over truly meaningful gifts for their family and loved ones, to go with their wishes for a peaceful and prosperous new year.
So which gifts should you choose for your family and friends this Tet? Let's explore this article together with Yến Sào Sài Gòn!
The most popular Tet gifts for family
Tet gift baskets
Tet gift baskets usually include tea, cakes, candied fruit and sweets, or come with a bottle of wine, and can be pre-packed or made to the buyer's own wishes.
Tet gift baskets are considered one of the most popular choices, because baskets like these are easy to find in supermarkets and grocery stores at many different price levels.
Feng shui items
In recent years, feng shui items have been a popular choice of Tet gift among consumers, because they symbolise luck, health and career success for the recipient.
A feng shui item may be a statue of an auspicious creature, or gemstone jewellery that suits each person's zodiac element.
However, please note that to give these gifts, the giver needs a certain knowledge of feng shui as well as an understanding of the recipient's zodiac element and age.
Paintings and calligraphy sets
Displaying paintings and calligraphy at Tet is a long-standing habit of the Vietnamese. A set of folk paintings with many life lessons, or a set of the Four Gentlemen (Plum – Orchid – Chrysanthemum – Bamboo) or Fortune – Prosperity – Longevity, all carry the meaning of peace, happiness and abundance for the new year.
In addition, a few elegantly worded couplets with meaningful content are also an ideal gift for the start of spring.
Bird's nest – a practical gift for good health
Skip the common gifts used year after year, which are boring and offer no surprise to the recipient. Bird's nest is a perfect suggestion for making something special for your family and friends this Tet. As society develops, health gifts are always the top priority. Bird's nest is a gift of nature for human health.
It is regarded as a health gift that brings practical value and shows care and love for family members, especially for grandparents and parents.
