After nearly an hour browsing social media, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai An from Ninh Kieu ward, Can Tho city, ordered all the items and gifts for the special holiday - the 80th anniversary of National Day on September 2nd. Ms. Hoai An said: "I ordered several thermos flasks with National Day-themed designs for myself and to give to some close friends. The interesting thing is that the store offers free printing of the customer's name and place name on the flask. Besides that, I also bought some hair clips printed with the red flag and yellow star, a flag-patterned cloak, and some flag garlands to hang in the house to create a festive atmosphere."

These days, Yody's fashion stores are filled with the colors of Independence Day. Accordingly, Yody is introducing a limited-edition collection of specially designed t-shirts, with only 7,000 pieces available across the entire system.
