GIFT-GIVING CUSTOMS IN VIETNAM
Gift giving is important in Vietnam because of the significance of interpersonal relationships in
Vietnamese culture.
First and foremost, do not encourage corruption. There is a clear cut between gift-giving and
bribery. Nevertheless, it is common in Vietnam for exchanging small gifts on certain occasions such
as anniversary, Tet holiday... to express your respect, love, appreciation or gratitude.
Gift-giving customs depend on the context. If it is a private gift for one Vietnamese partner you
should give the gift at a private occasion. If you have a gift for the whole office or company, you
should give it after the business meeting with the whole office’s employees.
Do not wrap a gift in the black paper because this colour is unlucky and associated with funerals
in Vietnam. Gifts that symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and other sharp objects should be
avoided because they mean the cutting of the relationship.
Vietnamese may or may not open these gifts when they receive; leave the option to them. You
will also receive gifts and should defer to your host as to whether you should open it when receiving
or not. Regardless of when it is opened or what it is, profuse thanks are always appropriate.
