| Ms. Nga, a flower shop owner in Vinh City, shared: This year, the amount of flowers for Valentine's Day is less because most of the fresh flowers have been released for the Tet market, so the price has increased by 20 - 30%. Photo: Quang An |

| This year's fresh flower market has seen the appearance of many new and eye-catching flowers. In the photo: cobalt blue roses imported from the Netherlands, priced at 150,000 VND/flower, 10 times more expensive than regular roses. Photo: Quang An |

| Rabbit ear grass is also imported from abroad, has bright colors, soft flowers and costs 450,000 VND/bunch. This type of flower can last longer than normal flowers. Photo: Quang An |
 |
| This year's gift boxes are also designed to be eye-catching with the upper compartment filled with love roses, the lower compartment containing other gifts, and can be opened and closed easily. Photo: Quang An |
 |
| These pre-made gifts are often very expensive, ranging from 500,000 - 2 million VND/item. Photo: Quang An |

| In contrast to the bustling flower market, the consumption of chocolate products is currently at a standstill. The owner of a chocolate shop in front of Vinh University shared: I opened my shop on February 10 but there are very few buyers. Photo: Quang An |

| Teddy bear, scarf, and wool hat shops are also deserted. Some shop owners say that the number of students (the main customers on Valentine's Day) returning to the city after Tet is not yet large enough, so limited purchasing power is understandable. Photo: Quang An |
