The Tet holidays are near; besides preparing for yourself, choose a few Tet gifts for parents so the whole family can welcome the new year together.
Decorative Tet Plants
As Tet approaches, people often decorate their homes, buy flowers and plants for the home a month before Tet to create a fresh atmosphere for the family. Mom and Dad will be very pleased to see many plants at home as they wait for Tet to arrive. In other words, when you see flowers, you feel Tet.
Or you can buy seeds to sow; the waiting time for the plants to grow and bloom is a very interesting experience. Apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, orchids, gerberas, chrysanthemums, marigolds, lilies, money plant, fortune tree, or choose money tree, fortune tree, peace lily… these are fairly easy to grow and help the family wish for luck and prosperity in the new year.
Health Care Devices
Over the year you may have bought many health-care devices for your parents. Tet is coming and there will be many preparations; replace old devices or buy new ones so your parents can use them daily.
Health-care devices such as massage chairs, neck and shoulder massagers, blood pressure monitors, foot baths, steamers… are practical gifts to let your parents relax at home. These devices help reduce stress, fatigue, improve blood circulation, and relieve body aches.
Nutritious Food and Drinks
Food and drinks are likewise items that your parents will need to use regularly throughout the year. Continue buying nutritious items to nourish them, such as bird's nest, ginseng, herbal tea, pure honey… to support health and memory. Among them, OCOP-standard farm products rated from 3 to 5 stars are increasingly chosen; you should also pick a few products to be confident in their origin and quality.
Modern Home Appliances
Many parents would really appreciate modern household appliances to reduce chores and bring more convenience to daily life. They will have more time to rest and relax. Here are some practical appliance ideas you could buy:
-
Air fryer: This air fryer is incredibly convenient and makes cooking easier, and cleaning faster. It’s good for health since it uses little oil. You can buy several sizes to suit diverse needs.
-
Washing machine: If the washing machine is old, you have a good reason to buy a newer, more modern washing machine. A new washer helps parents wash clothes faster and reduces housework.
-
Refrigerator: A new, modern, energy-efficient fridge will help preserve food better, especially during Tet when cooking and storing food increases.
Family Photo Album
Check the family album to see if there is enough space to attach photos this year. If not, buy a new photo album so your parents can add photos.
Taking early-year photos with the family is a source of joy and happiness. Everyone can stay at home or go to a beautiful location to take memorable photos. Let’s fill the photo album together so your parents feel happy whenever they look back.
New Clothes
Tet is here, and not only children, but parents also like to wear new clothes to look younger and start the new year with more confidence. Besides the áo dài or formal outfits your parents wear in the early days of the year, you can take them to a market or shopping center so they can choose more new outfits they love.
You can suggest mom wear a pretty dress and compliment her on how beautiful and graceful she looks. Dad can wear a smart shirt or polo to wear from now until Tet.
Take Your Parents Out
You don’t have to wait for Tet for the whole family to go out; it won’t take long to take your parents and your children on a little outing nearby.
If you live near the sea, take your parents to enjoy the fresh air of the sea and eat seafood. If your parents prefer a peaceful setting and a cool climate, you can look for nearby mountains or head to the suburbs if there is a famous tourist area.
It’s wonderful when the whole family can visit flower villages or flower streets that are open to visitors. The parks near your home will also be decorated for spring, with many pots of flowers, mini landscapes, and food-related activities. The whole family should go to view the flowers and dine outdoors together. Other interesting places such as food fairs, book streets, festival programs, exhibitions… will host many programs for everyone to enjoy and shop.
Besides traditional Tet gifts sent to parents at the start of the year to show gratitude and filial piety, you should care for your parents more with small gifts and acts as above so they can see that their children have always cared for them.
Tet gifts for parents are not only about exchanging material things, but also about showing love and sincere care. These small gifts carry deep spiritual meaning, helping parents feel happiness and the warmth of family in the early days of the year. Tet is near; take time to choose a few meaningful gifts to bring complete happiness to your parents!
