Green Tết Gift | New Year Blessing

For generations, whenever Spring gently knocks, Vietnamese people are greeted by the familiar sight of the Calligrapher Master setting out inkstone, ink sticks, and red paper on the pavement. Amidst the bustling crowds, they gently move their brushes, and the flowing strokes gradually appear, seemingly carrying an entire life philosophy, wishes for peace, and faith in a new beginning. This is not merely a custom, but a cultural lifeline, the way Vietnamese people honor knowledge and preserve the family tradition across generations.

Inspired by this very scene, the Ikachi Green Tết Gift Box “New Year Blessing” was created as a vivid page of Tết memory. Against the backdrop of brilliant apricot blossoms and the cool early spring weather, the image of the Calligrapher Master in traditional ao dai and turban, sitting serenely yet thoughtfully, causes the entire space to quieten. Every stroke he offers is not just a character, but the first fortune of the year: the fortune of knowledge, the fortune of righteousness, and the fortune of a beautiful beginning.

The gift box has been meticulously cared for by Ikachi, much like the Master’s careful attention to every brushstroke. Every motif and color evokes the pride of a nation that values literature, respects teachers, and upholds moral principles. Upon opening the box, the recipient will not only experience the flavors of Tết but also sense the fullness of Vietnamese culture: fullness in spiritual values, fullness in traditional meaning, and fullness in the affection conveyed through every wish.

“New Year Blessing” is therefore more than a Tết gift. It is a gentle reminder that the Vietnamese Tết is most beautiful when we are full—full of knowledge, full of love, and full of the good fortune we wish to send to one another in the first days of Spring.

Beyond the golden apricot blossoms and red parallel sentences, “New Year Blessing” also evokes nostalgia with its sweet candied preserves, all prepared from local produce. The tart and sweet slices of dried Cát Hòa Lộc mango, a specialty from the river region of Tiền Giang; the esteemed freeze-dried pineapple of the Southwest region; the famous Yên Bái dried taro with chili and garlic, intensely savory and spicy; and the refreshing, harmonious sweet and sour delicacy of Lâm Đồng mulberry candies – each flavor carries Ikachi’s pride in the land and people of Vietnam, serving as a heartfelt wish for a New Year full of love and complete happiness.
