According to a survey by Lao Dong reporters at a number of stores in Cau Giay district (Hanoi), the demand for flowers and gifts on the occasion of International Women's Day 8.3 is increasing.
Ms. Phuong Anh (character's name has been changed), the owner of a shop specializing in flowers and gifts designed according to requirements in Cau Giay, said that on March 8, flowers were sold more than on February 14 because customers could buy them for their mother, sisters, friends, and colleagues. Therefore, the store also launched more diverse flower designs. In addition to pink, which is suitable for girls, there are many elegant colors for other subjects.
"Men tend to buy flowers because this gift is both meaningful, beautiful, and suitable for the price, without having to spend a lot. At peak times, we can sell up to nearly 1,000 bunches/day, priced at about 100,000 - 500,000 VND depending on the size and customer requirements," this shop owner shared.
Going to choose a gift for his girlfriend before March 8, Mr. Duc Anh (24 years old, Nam Tu Liem district) said:
"Knowing that my girlfriend liked Baby Three pink, I looked for a place to sell flowers and asked for the exact model that my girlfriend mentioned. That way, I can give the right type of gift to my girlfriend, avoiding randomly peeling off the sample that is not to my liking, which can make the atmosphere less happy".
This year, with the fever of "throwing away blind bags" Baby Three, customers also favor flower models with Baby Three. Therefore, the price depends not only on the quantity of flowers and the type of flowers, but also on the rarity of Baby Three. Many flower shop owners also accept flower packages with Baby Three brought by customers to have the most satisfactory finished product.
Currently, the Baby Three fever has cooled down but is still loved because there are many new versions with diverse designs. A Baby Three cotton animal box costs from 150,000 to 6 million VND per box, depending on the size and version.
This is also a trendy gift chosen by many men for girlfriends and fathers to give to their children.
