In the early days of March, the March 8 gift market in Hanoi began to become bustling. If in the past, fresh roses or imported bouquets dominated, this year, high-end silk flowers in bubbles emerged as a new trend.
Ms. Ngo Thao Minh Trang - owner of a flower shop in Hanoi - said that the number of orders for silk flowers in bubbles has increased sharply since the end of February.
This year, customers tend to order earlier. We receive orders from the end of February and the peak return period falls in the days close to the holidays," Ms. Minh Trang shared.
According to Ms. Trang, at the time close to March 8, the store processed about 30 orders per day with 4 employees working continuously.
March 8th is the peak season for buying flowers in the year. This year's revenue has doubled compared to last year," Ms. Minh Trang added.
According to Ms. Minh Trang, the product is made of silk, naturally shaped like real flowers.
''The outstanding advantage is high durability, the glossy part can last for 2-3 months, and the silk flowers inside can be displayed for a whole year as souvenirs. This is also the reason why many customers choose instead of fresh flowers that can only last for a few days,'' Ms. Trang added.
In terms of design, red and pink are still the two most popular colors.
Usually, I see people who love red and pink tones, combined with small teddy bears, congratulatory cards and wrapped in a layer of decorative silk to increase the luxury. Among them, pastel pink combined with cute accessories is chosen by many young people, while traditional red is suitable when giving to mothers or teachers," Ms. Trang said.
The price of silk flowers in bubbles ranges from 380,000 - 450,000 VND, the largest sample is about 600,000 VND depending on size and accessories. Compared to some high-end fresh bouquets, this price is considered reasonable thanks to the long shelf life.
This unique product not only attracts young people but also many parents and human resources departments at businesses are looking to buy it.
Mr. Hoang Vu (Hanoi) said that he ordered flowers early to avoid running out of beautiful samples.
I prepared in advance to choose a satisfactory model to give to my grandmother, mother and lover. I like this type because it lasts long and does not wilt after a few days," said Mr. Hoang Vu.
Meanwhile, Mr. Tran Nam Anh (Hanoi) also actively placed silk flowers in balloons for the office.
The gift is both meaningful and solemn. I arranged to order early to be proactive in time and choose colors that suit the preferences of women at the company," Mr. Nam Anh shared.
This year, the gift trend is gradually shifting from beautiful in the moment to emphasizing long-lasting value. Thanks to the combination of aesthetics and durability, silk flowers in bubbles are predicted to continue to be the favorite choice in season 8. 3.
