    1. Fresh Flowers – A Symbol of Gratitude

    No gift can ever replace a bouquet of fresh flowers on November 20 — a timeless symbol of gratitude and respect.
    Each flower carries its own message:

    • Roses represent admiration and heartfelt appreciation.

    • Sunflowers symbolize respect, positivity, and admiration.

    • Orchids stand for elegance, refinement, and lasting beauty.

    You can pair a bouquet with a handwritten card to express your heartfelt thanks — a simple yet profoundly meaningful gesture.

    2. Greeting Cards – Words from the Heart

    A handwritten greeting card is a delicate, emotional gift that never goes out of style.
    Although technology allows us to send wishes in seconds, nothing compares to the warmth of a card written by hand — each word conveying deep affection and gratitude.

    Choose cards with soft colors, simple patterns, or handmade designs reminiscent of chalkboards and classrooms to evoke school-day memories.

    Where to buy: FAHASA – a popular bookstore offering greeting cards, notebooks, pens, and gift items for Vietnamese Teachers’ Day.

    3. Premium Pens – Elegant Symbols of Knowledge

    A pen is a lifelong companion of every teacher — a symbol of intellect, inspiration, and dedication.
    A high-quality pen, perhaps engraved with a name or a thoughtful message, makes a refined and personal gift.

    For male teachers, choose sleek designs in black or silver; for female teachers, rose gold or pastel tones are graceful choices.

    Where to buy: FAHASA – stationery and fine pen collections.

    4. Notebooks or Planners – Trusted Companions in Teaching

    A beautiful notebook or planner is both practical and heartfelt. Teachers can use it to plan lessons, jot down ideas, or organize their daily schedules.

    Opt for soft leather covers, thick paper, and minimalist designs. A notebook embossed with quotes such as “Knowledge is power” or “A bright mind leads the way” adds a special touch.

    Where to buy: FAHASA – a wide selection of notebooks and planners suitable for both male and female teachers.

    5. Calligraphy Paintings or Memory Frames – Gifts That Preserve Meaning

    Calligraphy paintings are rich in cultural and spiritual meaning, expressing respect and gratitude toward educators.
    You can choose paintings with characters like “Heart” (Tâm), “Patience” (Nhẫn), “Gratitude” (Tri Ân), or “Teacher” (Thầy) — each conveying a timeless message about virtue and education.

    Photo frames or keepsakes that capture classroom moments or graduation memories are also wonderful ways to honor a teacher’s impact.

    Where to buy: FAHASA – gift and art sections offering commemorative items for Teachers’ Day.

    6. Personalized Mugs or Thermal Bottles

    A customized mug or thermal bottle is a small yet practical gift that teachers can use every day.
    Print their names, an inspirational quote, or a class photo to make it one-of-a-kind.

    A thermal bottle is especially useful for teachers to enjoy coffee or tea throughout their busy day — thoughtful and functional at once.

    7. Scarves or Ties – Stylish, Thoughtful Gifts

    If you prefer an elegant and lasting gift, consider a scarf or a tie. These accessories reflect sophistication and personal care.

    • For female teachers: choose silk scarves in soft pastel tones or floral patterns.

    • For male teachers: opt for ties in dark, muted colors with fine texture and moderate width.

    Simple but refined, these items are ideal for showing appreciation in a graceful way.

    8. Books – The Gift of Knowledge and Inspiration

    A good book is a timeless gift that nurtures the mind and spirit. Books broaden perspectives, spark inspiration, and accompany teachers along their lifelong journey of learning.

    Suggested genres:

    • Education and self-development books, such as “The Great Teacher” or “On the Path to Knowledge”.

    • Inspirational or mindfulness titles that encourage relaxation after busy teaching days.

    Where to buy: FAHASA – a well-known bookstore chain offering a variety of educational and inspirational titles for Teachers’ Day.

    9. Cosmetics or Perfume – Elegant Gifts for Female Teachers

    A light scent or a gentle skincare set makes every teacher feel appreciated and cared for.
    When selecting beauty products, choose mild, skin-friendly brands suitable for daily use.
    Perfumes should have subtle, elegant notes such as jasmine, lavender, or citrus — graceful and pleasant.

    Where to buy:

    • Beauty Box – genuine perfumes and cosmetics with curated gift sets.

    • Watsons – trusted retailer with affordable beauty and skincare bundles.

    • Innisfree – natural Korean cosmetics brand, perfect for teachers who prefer simplicity and softness.

    10. Handmade Gift Sets – A Touch of Sincerity from Students

    If you want to give something truly personal, consider a handmade gift.
    Craft a card, paper flowers, a photo frame, or a class scrapbook — small but heartfelt creations that speak volumes about gratitude.
