A suitable Tet gift to send to both paternal and maternal sides at the end of the year not only shows the giver's heart but also represents a sincere message and New Year wishes to the parents.
Tet is the time for everyone to gather with their family after a year of hard work, and it is also an opportunity for children to express their love and gratitude to their parents. Therefore, preparing Tet gifts for both paternal and maternal families is an indispensable task, to make the New Year's wishes more meaningful and complete.
However, choosing a Tet gift that is meaningful, shows gratitude and thoughtful care for parents, and is suitable for both parents' preferences is not easy.
New clothes
Older people rarely buy new clothes, partly because they want to save money, and partly because they think that they are old and do not need to pay attention to dressing up, because they just hang around the house every day, enjoying the countryside. Over the months, their clothes gradually become faded. Occasionally, on important occasions or at the beginning of the new year, the elderly prepare "the clothes that have accompanied the years" that have been carefully stored in trunks and closets to wear.
Parents rarely dress up, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like to receive new clothes, especially during Tet. According to Vietnamese tradition, if you wear new clothes on the first day of the year, the whole year will be “renewed”, happier and more prosperous.

New clothes will make parents' Tet more brilliant. |
Therefore, for both sides of the family, a new ao dai for mom, a smart suit for dad or simply a new t-shirt or shirt… are ideal gifts to make parents feel happy and proud when seeing their children grow up and pay attention to even the smallest things.
Tet flowers
Every Tet holiday, the vibrant colors of a vase of homemade flowers or a pot of peach or apricot blossoms are a positive sign, bringing a joyful and happy atmosphere to the whole family. A pot of Tet flowers given to parents on this occasion will be a meaningful gift, demonstrating the ingenuity in taking care of the family.
Flowers with vibrant colors and fragrance displayed in familiar corners of the house not only bring the spring atmosphere but also create a cozy feeling. Pots of fresh flowers also represent wishes of peace and happiness sent to parents in the new year.
A trip with the whole family
As life develops, people's concept of Tet holidays also gradually changes. No longer limited to the idea of staying at home and gathering with relatives and friends, many modern families choose to welcome the new year with vacation trips.
These vacations will help parents on both sides change their mood, put aside the worries of daily life, and welcome the new year with more optimism and love for life. In particular, parents will have more sweet memories, private time together to reminisce about the past.
No need for a luxury foreign tour, you can give your parents a domestic tour. Hanoi, Quang Binh, Da Nang or Hoi An… are all places with beautiful landscapes, diverse cuisine and rich culture.
Tet gift set instead of wishes
2-3 months before Tet, brands have been busy preparing many Tet gift sets to serve the needs of consumers. Highly practical and beautiful in appearance, Tet gift sets are ideal gifts to send to both families at the beginning of the year. They are both a gift for parents to enjoy during Tet and a meaningful New Year's greeting.
