Flowers with Gift Basket Vietnam Tet Holiday: Order Abroad
By the Vietnam Flower Delivery team · 2026-11-06
Flowers with gift baskets for Tet are fresh bouquets paired with curated baskets of fruits, sweets, tea or premium local items—a respectful way to greet Vietnamese contacts during the lunar new year (late January or early February). When you order from abroad through Vietnam Flower Delivery by Hoa Lang Thang via WhatsApp, we source and arrange blooms in our Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City shops, pair them with the basket of your choice, and send you a real photograph before delivery to confirm the final look. Timing depends on your location (5–10 days from most countries, accounting for a 12-hour time difference from Vietnam); you'll need a Vietnamese phone number and street address for the recipient, payment by international card or bank transfer, and ideally a short Vietnamese message or English card we can translate. Tet gifts avoid white flowers (associated with funerals) and favor red, gold, pink and yellow blooms. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp—the cost varies by basket type, flower choice, and delivery city.

Why do Tet baskets work better than single bouquets?
Tet culture emphasizes renewal, abundance and family respect. A single bouquet is lovely, but a basket signals thoughtfulness—it pairs fresh flowers with gifts the household can share (dried fruit, sweets, tea), showing you've considered both aesthetic and practical value. Red peonies or pink carnations alongside premium fruit or tea from a well-known region create a gift that feels substantial and intentional. Single bouquets suit quiet admiration; baskets suit Tet's festive, communal spirit.

What flowers are safe to send for Tet in Vietnam?
Red, pink, yellow and gold flowers are auspicious during Tet; white, black and dark purple are avoided because they're traditionally reserved for funerals and death anniversaries. Peonies (thú), chrysanthemums (cúc vàng), roses in warm tones, carnations and gladiolus are popular. Bamboo and kumquat branches are also traditional Tet symbols of growth and prosperity. When you order from us, specify your preferred color palette and we'll suggest blooms that match Tet etiquette—nothing is left to guesswork. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp to discuss flower types available for your delivery date.
How does timing work when ordering from another country?
Vietnam is typically 12–13 hours ahead of US time zones and 7–8 hours ahead of UK time. When you place an order on WhatsApp at 3 p.m. Monday in New York, it's already 3 a.m. Tuesday in Hanoi. We respond during our business hours (usually within a few hours), confirm your choice, collect payment via international transfer or card, and prepare the basket and bouquet over 1–3 days depending on availability and the recipient's preferred delivery date. Delivery itself takes place on your chosen date in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. Plan ahead: Tet weeks (typically 1–2 weeks before and after the lunar new year) fill quickly, so order at least 7–10 days in advance to avoid rush fees or sold-out designs. The send flowers to Vietnam page walks through time zones and payment step-by-step.
What information do you need to send a Tet basket to Vietnam?
Recipient's full name, street address (including ward, district, city—Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City only), mobile phone number in Vietnamese format (starting +84 or 0), your preferred delivery date, and a card message (in English, which we can translate, or Vietnamese). Vietnamese addresses differ from Western formats: they often list the building number, street name, ward name and district before the city. Example: "Số 45 Đường Hàng Bông, Phường Hàng Bông, Quận Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội" (45 Hang Bong Street, Hang Bong Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi). We'll confirm the address with you and check delivery feasibility—if the location is outside Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, we'll tell you plainly rather than promise what we cannot deliver. Payment is 100% upfront: bank transfer (SWIFT/IBAN), credit card via secure processor, or international wire. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp with all details.

What happens after you place a Tet basket order?
After you provide details and pay, we confirm receipt and begin sourcing blooms and basket items from our suppliers. 2–3 days before delivery, we photograph the exact bouquet and basket arrangement (not a stock image) and send it to you via WhatsApp for approval. If you want any adjustment—a different bloom shade, a different basket item—we make it and re-photograph. Once you approve, we hold the arrangement in cool storage and deliver on your chosen date. The recipient receives a fresh, handmade gift with a card in their language. You'll also receive a delivery confirmation photo within hours of arrival. No surprises, no generic pre-made stock—what you see is what they get.

What should you check before confirming a Tet order?
Delivery city: We deliver only to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Check now.
Recipient phone: Vietnamese mobile numbers are usually 10 digits starting with 0 or +84 (e.g., 0912 345 6789 or +84912345678). Landlines are also acceptable. Ask the recipient for their number in advance; a wrong or unregistered number delays delivery.
Address clarity: Google Maps works in Vietnam; search the recipient's address to confirm it's in a service area. Addresses in narrow alleys, remote villages, or new residential zones may be inaccessible. We'll verify before you pay.
Tet dates: Tet 2026 falls on 29 January. Orders placed after 15 January may face rush availability or delays. Book by mid-January for peace of mind.
Card message: Keep messages brief (under 50 words). We translate English to Vietnamese at no extra charge. Avoid jokes about money, health or politics—Tet is a formal, family-centered occasion.
Budget: Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp +84 969 293 894—prices vary by basket tier, flower choice and delivery city.
