Nguyễn Ngọc Hải, a resident of Him Lam ward, shared, “This year’s gift market is diverse, offering many choices for customers, both online and offline. However, I prefer to personally select gifts for my mother and wife. I usually opt for fresh flowers or cosmetics. Prices seem to be like previous years”.

In schools, the International Women’s Day is a special occasion where male students show appreciation for their female peers. Trần Duy Long, a student from Lê Quý Đôn High School, said, “Our class has assigned tasks to prepare for the celebration. We are making gifts and cards to show our appreciation for our female classmates.”

Fresh flowers remain a top choice for many customers, and sales have been brisk. According to flower vendor Phạm Thu Hà, “I have stocked up on various types of flowers since the beginning of March. Prices for fresh flowers from other provinces are slightly higher, ranging from VNĐ 2,000 to 3,000 each”.

In addition to flesh flowers, scented wax flowers and themed gifts are also popular. With prices ranging from VNĐ 10,000 to 25,000 per flower, some elaborate bouquets with accompanying gifts can cost up to millions of VNĐ.
