With Vietnamese Women's Day on October 20th fast approaching, it's an opportunity for men to honor women with meaningful gifts. This year, gift-giving trends continue to evolve in interesting ways, reflecting modern lifestyles and a focus on practical values.
This year's October 20th gift market is witnessing an explosion of novel and unique ideas. Besides traditional gifts like fresh flowers and cosmetics, gift sets combining pastries, tea, and fresh flowers are becoming a popular trend among young people.
Besides fresh flower bouquets, the trend of combining flowers with tea remains a popular choice among customers due to its uniqueness and novelty, making the gift market for Vietnamese Women's Day on October 20th even more diverse this year.
With their exquisite designs, diverse styles, and affordable prices, these gift sets not only bring joy but also showcase the thoughtfulness and sophistication of the giver. From bouquets of vibrant red roses paired with sweet cakes to fragrant cups of tea adorned with fresh flowers, each gift set possesses its own unique beauty, sure to please even the most discerning woman.
Surveys at food and beverage shops in Hanoi show that each set of fresh flowers and drinks is currently sold for 90,000 - 200,000 VND/set, while sets of fresh flowers and cakes cost from 200,000 - 500,000 VND/set. These gift baskets include a cup of coffee or tea, milk tea decorated with a few roses, ranunculus, baby's breath, or daisies; while mini cake baskets with flowers are placed in elegant, eye-catching transparent acrylic boxes.
An eye-catching, elegant gift that conveys heartfelt sentiments to women on Vietnamese Women's Day.
According to businesses, the trend of gift sets of cakes or tea accompanied by flowers started at the beginning of the year, but now it's even more popular and is being chosen by many beverage shops in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang to serve customers. Due to high demand, some shops say they are almost fully booked despite only posting the items for sale a few days ago and have stopped accepting orders until October 20th.
Thanks to selling tea and flower combos during this period, the store's revenue doubled compared to normal days. Other business owners also shared that not only individual customers, but many companies also ordered large quantities of gift sets to give to their female employees on this occasion. To stimulate demand, many businesses even offered free shipping or discounts of 10-15% for orders of 10 sets or more.
Besides gift sets, fresh flowers remain the most popular item during the October 20th holiday. Observations on streets with many flower shops such as Kim Ngưu, Trần Xuân Soạn (Hai Bà Trưng district), Lương Định Của (Đống Đa district), Hai Bà Trưng (Hoàn Kiếm district)... show that the shopping atmosphere has become lively since the beginning of the week, with the number of buyers increasing daily.
Regarding prices, surveys show that current flower prices have increased by approximately 20-30% compared to the beginning of the month, but there hasn't been much fluctuation compared to the same period last year. Shops display many types of flower arrangements, bouquets, and boxes in various designs, with common prices ranging from 250,000 to 500,000 VND per bouquet.
