Green Tết Gift | Traditional Tết House

Inspired by the old houses with their red tiled roofs, moss-green windows, and brick steps marked by countless seasons of sun and wind, the “Traditional Tết House” Green Tết Gift Box was created by Ikachi as a slice of memory, a place where the Tết of the past remains intact in every small detail. Every time Tết arrives, this home lights up under the crimson glow of lanterns, the laughter of children, and the subtle scent of incense, all blending into a familiar symphony that every Vietnamese person cherishes in their heart.

But Tết is not only beautiful in its scenery; Tết is also beautiful through the cultural activities that unite the entire family and neighborhood. Ikachi subtly recounts these 9 traditional Tết activities through the 9 windows of the “Traditional Tết House”, opening up precious fragments of memory—so that anyone looking in can see a part of their childhood and their family within. Each window represents a ritual, a joy, a beautiful custom that creates the fullness of the Vietnamese Tết: fullness in tradition, fullness in reunion, fullness in love. This includes the morning ritual of bidding the Kitchen Gods farewell with solemn incense; the New Year’s Eve gathering to await the sacred moment of transition; the days of cleaning and decorating the house, cooking the fragrant green bánh chưng all night long; or the first steps taken on New Year’s Day to symbolically gather luck and wish grandparents well with innocent laughter…

And to complete this picture, the Green Tết Gift Box also offers a unique experience to the recipient: the “Throw-the-ball Lucky Money” game, inspired by the ném còn – ném pao games popular in the highland spring festivals. This tossing rhythm holds not only the joy of the New Year but also the aspiration for a bountiful harvest, family prosperity, and a lucky, abundant New Year.

Just like the green bánh chưng and the red lucky envelope, a Vietnamese Tết cannot be complete without an array of rich candied preserves to welcome visiting guests. Nine fragrant preserves and familiar flavors are carefully placed by Ikachi into the “Traditional Tết House” Green Tết Gift Box: From the warm, invigorating soft-dried young ginger of the Northwest mountains, the sweet and nutty Sìu Châu peanut candy of Nam Định, the light, naturally sweet freeze-dried jackfruit from the highlands of Đắk Lắk, the fragrant crispy dried taro from the highlands of Yên Bái, to the richly flavored salted dried pomelo peel — a wholesome treat from the Mekong Delta; the sweet–tangy golden soft-dried Cát Hòa Lộc mango of Tiền Giang; cookies; the luscious mulberries candied from the highlands of Lâm Đồng; and the buttery, aromatic raw cashews — the famed specialty of Bình Phước, Vietnam’s cashew capital. All are meticulously prepared from authentic Vietnamese agricultural products, ensuring every Vietnamese person can experience a Tết that is fully complete and sublimely joyful.

With every painstaking artisanal detail, every homeland flavor, and the inclusion of a folk game, the Ikachi Green Tết Gift “Traditional Tết House” is not merely a present exchanged on the first day of the New Year. It is a heartfelt message of a fulfilled Tết, conveying that happiness does not come from having a big house or high gates; the greatest fortune Tết brings to every home is simply having loved ones nearby, preserving traditional values, and sharing warm family affection.
