GIFT-GIVING CUSTOMS IN VIETNAM
Gift giving is important in Vietnam because of the significance of interpersonal relationships

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 officeor company,
you should give it after the business meeting with the whole office’s employee.
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 are received; leave the option to
them. You will also receive gifts and should defer to your host as to whether youshould open it
when received or not. Regardless of when it is opened or what it is, profuse thanks are always
appropriate.
