The March 8 gift market is busier than ever thanks to cheap and unique gift sets. In particular, tea or cake sets with fresh flowers are becoming a trend, "selling out" on this holiday.

A survey of shops in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi showed that fresh flower sets with milk tea and fruit tea of ​​all kinds ranged from 99,000 to 200,000 VND. These gift baskets included a glass of water, a few roses, ranunculus, gerberas or baby's breath, and daisies. Some other shops chose to design flowers around the teacup. With gift boxes of cakes with flowers, most were mini cakes with eye-catching designs.

According to stores, they have been fully booked since March 5, even though they have only been posted for sale for a few days. Many stores have stopped accepting new orders until March 8.

A representative of Twitter Beans Coffee (Hanoi) said that on the occasion of March 8, this coffee chain "sold out" the "tea in flowers" gift set since March 5, with 6,000 sets. Each gift set includes a lovely flower pot and a beverage product of the chain, priced from 119,000 VND.

"We make these gift sets with the meaning that flowers care for the soul, while tea and cakes care for the body," the chain representative shared.

Also closing an order for more than 500 sets of drinks and flowers, Thanh Hang - a coffee shop owner in Ho Chi Minh City, said she had to hire more staff to deliver the goods on March 8. Each set of cakes and flowers at Hang's shop costs about 86,000 VND, designed according to each customer's request, in which blue, red and pink are the three main colors.

According to businesses, the trend of gift sets of cakes or tea with flowers originated from the 2023 holiday. But this year, this trend has flourished because it attracts customers and is being sold by many beverage shops in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang or Binh Duong...

With a unique, practical and romantic design, the gift is very meaningful. Large business owners said that not only small customers, many companies also order large quantities to give to female employees on this occasion. Revenue from gifts on March 8 this year at some establishments doubled compared to the same period last year.
