According to the observation of Da Nang Newspaper’s reporters, different types of Tet goods have already hit the shelves of supermarkets and retail stores citywide.

Gift baskets include typical items for Tet such as confectionery, jams, tea, instant coffee, wine, rice, cooking oil, nuts, and sausages. This year, multiple types of healthful products are arranged in these sets, including salt-brewed lemongrass, herbal honey, ginger lemon, ginseng honey, and pure honey. The prices of such sets are ranging from VND300,000 to VND3 million.

According to retailers in the city, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected how locals are going about buying Tet gift baskets. In previous years, customers preferred to choose Tet gift baskets featuring imported products with eye-catching and luxurious designs. But, this year, those with ‘made-in-Viet Nam’ essential products at mid-range prices are among favorites by customers. Therefore, new variations of gift baskets have been introduced to the market to meet customers’ changing demands.

Director of Lotte Mart Da Nang Nguyen Minh Thuong said that, since early December, 2021, his supermarket has prepared stalls to display Tet gift baskets. He added, aside from the traditional gift baskets, customers can choose gift baskets according to their preferences and needs at a variety of eye-catching designs and prices.

The gift baskets on sale at the supermarket have such themes of Tet as ‘Exciting Spring’, ‘Reunited Spring’ and ‘Tan Tai Tan Loc’, and ‘Tan Nien Phu Quy’. Those with sweet and savory items are on sale at the prices of VND 328,000 each.

Similarly, the Co.opmart supermarket system is launching a promotion programme to wrap Tet gift baskets according to customers' requirements.

Also, the Saigon Co.op continues to implement a stimulus programme to boost shopping demand. Accordingly, customers can go to any Co.opmart supermarket to choose and order gift baskets that will be then delivered to 44/63 provinces and cities across the country where Co.opmart supermarkets operate.

Also for the purpose of selecting products for gift baskets in the most practical and economical way, Vinmart Da Nang, located on the 2^nd floor of the Vincom Plaza, are offering a wide range of Tet gift baskets at the prices of between VND299,000 - VND699,000 each.

Most of the eye-catching baskets feature Vietnamese high-quality products of famous and popular domestic brand names, including Chinsu, Meizan, Neptune, and Nescafe.

Moreover, Tet gifts hampers are now available at wet markets and grocery stores citywide. Apart from ready-made gift baskets, customers can choose gift baskets according to their own preferences and needs.
