Tet is not only the biggest holiday and most important celebration for Vietnamese, it also marks a fortuitous "fresh start," a new chapter with significant values and wishes for luck and good things.
As a reputable brand with 20 years of history and a renowned supplier for premium culinary gifts, Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers continues to be one of the top choices for guests looking for gifts to deliver love and respect with its newly-released Tet hamper collection.
Adorned with two main color schemes, the signature red of Tet and gold, the Luu Nien Cat collection introduces two hampers with eye-catching appearances.
Each hamper is exquisitely designed and meticulously crafted, carried by a charm handle, and locked by two leather straps. It includes two-tier drawers: the top drawer is opened from above, while the bottom drawer is slid horizontally.

Designed with elegance and functionality, each hamper is not only a heartfelt gift for the year of the dragon but also an iconic fashion accessory.
The first trunk named Minh Chau (the Emerald Pearl), a mix of "Minh" (light) and "Chau" (preciousness), embodies such a prosperous trunk to gift to families, friends, and business partners.
The Minh Chau trunk is adorned with the red color, the signature of Tet, while the second trunk, Kim Buu (the Golden Gem), a combination of "Kim" (gold) and "Buu" (gem), features the color gold, exemplifying prosperity and plentitude as a fabulous trunk. Both trunks are finished with beautiful floral motifs with blooming cherry blossoms and singing birds to call out for the coming Tet.

Both trunks boast premium delicacies, accompanied by five or six items. The top drawer is accompanied by options for two teas or one wine.
While tea is provided with the Tra Viet brand, including ancient tea with a bold flavor and unique yellow and honey-thick liquid and jasmine tea with a gentle fragrance, wine is served with the brand Terre Forti from Rubicone IGT, Italy, made from the Sangiovese grape sourced from the greenery hills of Romagna in Italy, bringing a delightful flavor of summer fruits.
The bottom drawer presents the handcrafted cookies and roasted ones well-bottled in crystal jars.
The most highlighted item is the pineapple cookie handcrafted by the artisanal chefs of the Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers. It brings a mild sweetness with a sensational aroma, buttery skin with coconut flavor, and fresh yet golden pineapple jam in fillings with a refreshing sour and sweet mixture.
As the epitome of prosperity, based on the Asian countries' custom, pineapple cookies are served on the first day of the lunar new year with hot tea.
Other items include roasted nuts such as almonds selected from the best ones for the most authentic taste, cashew tom yum roasted naturally mixed with the rich yet spicy flavor of Thai Land-Born Tom Yum sauce for such a crunchy, striking taste, and dried hibiscus flower, also known as the red artichoke, with healthy value, leaving a matchless, gentle sourness.
The thoughtfully selected delicacies with different items cater to diverse tastes for such a warm gathering.
Both hampers in the 2024 Tet collection are priced at VND1.588++ million per box, not including VAT and service charges.
Guests can visit the hamper booth at the hotel’s grand lobby at 80 Dong Du, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, from now until Feb. 8 for purchasing. Click here for online booking inquiries or contact directly via hotline (+84) 28 3827 2828 or sheratonsaigon@sheraton.com.
