Lunar New Year is the biggest holiday of the year for Vietnamese people, carrying profound traditional cultural values. In the bustling atmosphere of welcoming spring, decorating houses, workplaces, entertainment venues, supermarkets... is of interest to people, units and businesses. At this time, the market for decorative items in the province is quite vibrant. Notably, many domestically produced items are widely favored by the people.
In Ha Long City, especially at Ha Long Market I, Ha Long Market II and on many streets, the atmosphere of shopping for Tet decorations is very bustling these days. To have a variety of products, many businesses have imported goods early with many types and designs to meet people's needs. Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong (owner of Huong Thang store at Ha Long Market I, Ha Long City), said: This year, I imported Tet decorations quite early. Recently, people tend to look back to the old Vietnamese Tet, to keep up with that trend, I imported many domestically produced products to create familiarity, reminiscent of the old Tet such as flower fans, bamboo trays, red parallel sentences... showing the beauty of the traditional Tet of the nation. Unlike previous years, this year from pre-imported retail products, my store made its own sets of items with different designs and models, creating a rich variety of Tet decorations at affordable prices so that most people can buy them to decorate their homes and businesses.
According to many consumers, this year's Tet decoration products still have the main tone of bright red and yellow, but have been improved in design, bringing novelty to the Tet decoration market. In addition to familiar items such as: Lanterns, artificial peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, gold-plated hanging strings..., many products such as Tet parallel sentences written on red paper pasted on bamboo sticks, or bamboo trays painted red with familiar Tet wishes "Van su nhu y", "Cung chuc tan xuan", "Phuc Loc Tho"... make the market more lively, attracting the attention of customers. Ms. Tu Anh (Ha Long City) said: “I prioritize choosing handmade, rustic products produced domestically because of their safety and diverse designs, especially flower fans, bamboo trays, and red parallel sentences that represent the beauty of traditional Tet. This year, although the economy is still difficult, shopping and decorating for Tet space is still indispensable. Everyone wants to shop and prepare carefully to create a happy and warm Tet atmosphere.”
According to many people, this year's Tet decorations are quite diverse, eye-catching, and reasonably priced. To meet people's needs in the context of economic difficulties, small traders have proactively searched for and imported new, beautiful, and affordable items while still ensuring quality. This year, the prices of items are not much different from last year. Even some handmade items designed and decorated by shop owners themselves tend to decrease to attract customers, such as: Bamboo blinds, bamboo blinds, palm blinds, toothpick blinds... used as decorative backgrounds cost from 160,000-300,000 VND/item, a pair of bamboo shoulder poles costs from 40,000-100,000 VND/product; bamboo trays cost 20,000 VND/item; conical hats cost from 5,000 VND/item, depending on size; Artificial flowers such as peach, apricot, and ivy... cost from 10,000-50,000 VND/branch.
Currently, in addition to traditional sales channels, e-commerce platforms such as Shopee, Lazada, Tik Tok shop also have a variety of Tet decoration items with many attractive promotions. Ms. Le Thi Thuy (Cao Thang ward, Ha Long city) said: I have a habit of shopping online. E-commerce platforms are currently quite reputable, with a wide range of products; choosing products is also easy, customers even get free shipping, so it is quite attractive to people's purchasing power. Every year, I choose to buy items to decorate Tet for my small family space. This year, I prioritize handmade, rustic products produced domestically because of their safety and diverse designs. I bought sets of items to decorate a brilliant Vietnamese Tet space, showing the beauty of the traditional Tet of the nation in the family's living room. Through this, I also want my children to understand and love Vietnamese Tet more.
Although the last days of the year are busy, every time Tet comes, spring comes, surely every family takes time to decorate their house to welcome a new spring.
