Fruit or Medicine
Vietnamese people love giving fruits or medicines or even both. So when you give fruits or medicines as a gift for them, you have to make sure that they're in the best condition. Why? Because if you give them a rotten apple or a smelly pair of bananas, people would think you're trying to insult them that they don't deserve anything except for used things. We apply that same with medicines, do not reuse the bottles before giving them. In Vietnam, we usually give fruits that of course from Vietnam, I guess the reason for this rule is because the fruits will definitely get rotten after travelling a long way just to get to the receiver's house. But things go the opposite when applying that to medicines, in 2021, most people have lost trust in "Đông Y", some of them don't even know what's "Đông Y" is. Because of that, now people just kept gifting Western Medicines and it has already become a standard of gift-giving tradition in Vietnam. And, one more thing I want to say is the fruit and medicine products have many shapes and many uses so I can't tell exactly. Vietnamese love giving them because fruits and medicines are the 2 most iconic symbols of caring. It has been a standard for so long that you now can't even change the thought of a 3 years old kid about this topic. Back to writing, as we already mentioned, fruits and medicines are the symbols of caring and loving which means giving those things will always mean you love them and you ready to be with them until their last breath. But those gifts are usually given to elders or people who have illness, if you give those things to a small child then you probably get some odd looks from everyone in the house. I like receiving it since it will help our family have medicines in case something bad happens.

Bonus part: If you want to have a good impression in front of your Vietnamese friend, then the people/person you want to give medicines is someone old or has illness in your friend's family, if you want to give fruits then you can make that as a gift to everybody. Also, please make sure they're in the best condition possible.

This is a type of cake with lots of ingredients inside. Vietnamese often give this to each other. This can be a bit salty and sweet, it has Asian sausages and types of soft candies. The layer is small, can be any color of the traditional ingredients. The brown-yellow color is the most common, or we can make the white, green and also a black one. In these days, this cake can be in different kinds of inner ingredients, we can also have green beans or green tea flavour, so much more. This cake is delicious, healthy cultural gift.

Dear John,
I am well. So you ask me for suggestions about gifts that suitable for your mom. I think if your mom likes flowers, you can buy her roses or violets. If you don't have enough money, you can make a flower made out of papers. If she don't like flowers, you can buy her a book about cooking or something else, or you can make a handmade cake. But if you can do none of it, you can just draw a picture for her! I hope she will be happy.

2 of my favourite gifts that I have recieved are 2 books. They are from my friend Hà Anh and An Khanh. They gave me the books like... in last year. They gave me the book as a present for my birthday if I’m not mistaken. I like the books because they are books and I somewhat like to read books when I'm not using the computer (also known as electronic devices) because if I'm inactive I'll easily feel very bored.

Ao Dai

Ao dai has long been the Vietnamese traditional clothes for both males and females. It is a tight-fitted long dress worn over long pants. The ao dai is a little bit different in length nowadays for various uses, however, it stays the same design and is traditionally made in every corner of Vietnam. Generally, there are two main colors for an Ao dai, one for the long dress itself and a second contrasting color for the trousers worn underneath. Tourists can easily choose themselves and have a tailor specialized in creating Ao dai do the remains.

Dear John,
Hope you're well, too. If you want to buy some presents for your mom, you need to know that what is her hobby. Example, your mom likes clothes, you could buy a dress or shoes or some pants. If your mom likes to watch or go shopping, or do something, you could buy or you can help her to do her dream. That's my opinion, hope it can help you something. I hope she will be happy. Have nice day. Hope she would be happy.
Your friend,

Birthdays are special days, at least for me. That's the day which I can have food that I want, have more pocket money and have a huge cake. And of course the best part is presents and gifts. Last birthday, I have recieved a lot of presents and the 2 best presents were a Starbuck card with 500.000 VND inside; and an expert treehouse lego box. The Starbuck card was from my dad, since he saw how well the exam went. I spend it on the day my class compete basketball. Although we lose but I still buy my 2 friends something in Starbuck using my card. And a treehouse lego set was from my mom because I love lego and she wanted to challenge me with that 3000 pieces. I took 1 day to finish it. I love the card because I love to eat and eat in Starbuck helps me feel better when I had bad scores. I love the lego set because it is really fun to built and I love to collect series of lego.

Dear John,
I am well. How about you now? And about the gift for your mom's birthday, I think you have to know about what she likes. It's very important. If you don't know and you don't want to ask her, maybe I think it will be something that you think it's good for your mom. Because of the Covid-19 situation, I see many people are changing. They want to use healthy food, do some exercise that is well to have a healthy body and resistance. And I think your mom can be one of them. So let's choose some healthy food like salad, fruit or anything you like for the birthday party. About the present, I think it could be the yoga mat because maybe your mom is too busy to go to the gym so it's a good choice for your mom. Hope you can choose the present for your mom soon and tell her that I inquire about her health.

Hi John,
I'm fine, thank you for asking me to choose a present for your mom. Well... I think you should write a card with wishes, you can also buy a bouquet for her or some clothes. If you don't have enough money, make a meal cooked by yourself!!! Or a small note book for her, I think it's pretty cheap. I hope your mom is always happy, beautiful and has a fun happy birthday with your family!
From your friend,

My first favorite gift that I received is a teddy bear. When I was in grade 3, I always wanted to have a little teddy bear. And so Christmas is coming, me and my classmates decorated the class. My teacher asked each student to write what they wanted for Christmas. I was very excited and also don't know what to ask for. I have so many things to wish for, but in the end I wrote a white teddy bear. When I received my present, it was a cute white teddy bear with a red bow. I was very happy and always hug it when I go to sleep. My second favorite gift is a bike. My dad just bought it for me 2 months ago. He always told me that if I got good grades then he’ll buy me anything I like and so I chose a bike. We went to the bike’s store. It took me a long time to choose my favorite bike. It was a black bike with red stripes. Its very cool and beautiful too!

Dear John,
Thanks a lot for your letter, I'm well. Hope you are well, too. I see you're very anxious about buying your mother a present. You don't need to be worried about choosing the best gift, just think about things that your mother cares about. Every gift is given just your heart and your mother will surely love it. If I were you, I will choose a bunch of roses and give it to my mom with some happy birthday quotes. She surely loves it. I have some works to work on now, bye for now. Hope this helps you with choosing your gift for your mother.
