Market 8-3: The trend of hunting for "unique gifts"

Without waiting for International Women's Day 8-3, on the afternoon of 29-2 at Dalat Hasfarm Flower Company on Cong Hoa Street, Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City, many men came to choose and order flowers to give to their mothers, wives, lovers and sisters. If in previous years roses, carnations, and lisianthus were chosen a lot, this year phalaenopsis orchids, sedum, trumpet lilies, tulips, and dancing orchids are more interested by "men".

Explaining the change in flower selection, Tran Cong Danh, a wedding and party flower designer for Son Trang flower and statue shop at 67B Hung Vuong, Ward 4, District 5, said that because orchids and sedums have a longer "lifespan", this gift is more economical than baskets or flower arrangements of cut flowers.

Accordingly, pots of Thai double sedum with white, pink, orange-red, purple, yellow colors priced from 60,000 - 80,000 VND/pot are purchased quite a lot. Pots of white phalaenopsis orchids combined with yellow vanda with red dots, red dots with purple, purple mixed with blue, purple mixed with pink priced from 200,000 - 300,000 VND are also ordered quite a lot at Ho Thi Ky flower market, District 10.

Not only real flowers, some types of artificial flowers are also attracting customers' attention. That is the 24K gold rose product. Besides flowers, jewelry products are also not out of the race to gain market share on March 8 this year due to the trend of giving more practical gifts that is gradually forming.

Therefore, to anticipate the market, in late February and early March, most of the famous jewelry manufacturing and trading enterprises such as PNJ, SJC, DOJI, SBJ... all launched new collections, with values ​​ranging from a few million to tens of millions of VND per product.

Handmade bracelets and necklaces made of jade and Thanaka wood imported fromMyanmarare also being sought after by many people as gifts. Health products such as functional foods with added collagen, calcium and vitamin E that are good for the skin, bones and hair of women such as milk, drinks, ginseng, bird's nest... are also expected to be in high demand.

Besides customers rushing to buy jewelry, fresh flowers, and health foods, many husbands also spend time looking for household appliances and kitchenware such as table sets.food, multi-function mop, induction cooker, infrared cooker, thermos pot of brands Sanyo, Black & White, Fujiyama, Q Home, Midea... as gifts. To help his wife save more because the current gas price is too high, Mr. Nguyen Huu An, living at 450 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, District 3, HCMC, decided to buy an infrared cooker to give his wife on March 8 this year.
