Making unique mini Christmas toys, startup earns more than 2 billion VND/month during Christmas season

At 8am, a production team of more than 10 members of a gift shop is working at full capacity. In recent months, the demand for Christmas decoration products has increased dramatically. The whole team focuses on production to meet orders from many provinces and cities.

Grasping the trend of young people playing with plants in glass cages, Christmas terrarium products (Christmas miniatures in glass cages) were planned and put into mass production. According to Mr. Nguyen Quoc Truong (1992 - co-founder of the enterprise), on average each month recently, his facility produced about 2,000 orders, with revenue reaching more than 2 billion VND.

Terrariums are glass flower pots, inside containing a miniature ecosystem including soil, plants, sand, gravel, water... and can add some live animals. This model creates a miniature ecosystem simulating the natural environment: tropical forests, deserts, combining soil, rocks, plants, moss, water, forming a unique mini world .

After creating the layout for the gift boxes, the production staff uses dried plants and flowers: cypress moss, cushion moss, royal poinciana roots... to create a vivid model inside. These products, after completion, will be shaped and completely sealed.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Truong said that unlike traditional terrariums, the glass tanks made by the facility will not need watering, soil or light. "The products use a special type of preserved moss, which is real moss from nature. After being harvested, selected and going through a special treatment process, the product can be 'frozen' in a fresh state like the real thing," he said.

Unique gifts with various sizes cost from 500,000 VND to 3 million VND/product.

The demand for gifts during holidays and Tet always increases sharply. Currently, Mr. Truong's facility has encountered "broken" times due to the lack of raw material supply to meet customer demand. On average, there are hundreds of orders every day both domestically and internationally.

In addition to producing gifts, Mr. Truong's facility also provides job training for people with disabilities. Vu Thi Mai Huong (deaf) is one of the skilled workers in creating these meticulous handmade products. "Huong has a high level of concentration and her hands are more skillful than others. Therefore, she is surprisingly suitable for this job. Huong's salary and bonus are sometimes the highest in the team," Mr. Truong said.
