Gifts to Bring Back From Vietnam for Her: 7 Ideas With Her Name On, From Da Nang
By Dear eM. Updated 28 October 2026. VND prices from our product pages; US$ figures are approximate.
Coffee, a conical hat, a lacquer box. You already know the list, and so does she, because everyone who's been to Vietnam brought the same thing home.
The gift that lands is the one with her name on it. It costs about the same as the coffee. Here are seven, ordered by budget.
1. A striped pouch with her name, under US$7
The Candy Stripe Pouch comes in 8 colours and two sizes (135,000–165,000 VND). Pick her favourite colour, type her name, and it's embroidered while you have a coffee. Best for: colleagues, sisters, a friend's teenager.
2. Her birth flower and her name
Every month has a flower, from carnation in January to narcissus in December. Dear eM stitches her month's flower next to her name on a Tweed, Waffle or Candy Stripe pouch (165,000–255,000 VND). You only need to know her birthday. Best for: the friend who "doesn't need anything".
3. A soft furry pouch with a bow
The Furry Pouch (195,000–225,000 VND) is padded, so lipsticks and a compact survive the suitcase. Five colours, bow optional. Best for: girlfriend, best friend.
4. A fringe scarf for the flight home
If she lives anywhere with a winter, the fringe scarf (265,000 VND, 180 × 70 cm, 5 colours) with her name embroidered in the corner is the gift she'll wear in the airport photo. Best for: mum, sister, partner.
5. A portrait stitched from a photo
Send a photo of the two of you; Dear eM draws it as a small illustration and embroiders it with your names on a pouch or scarf (245,000–345,000 VND). Needs 1–3 working days, so order early in the trip. Best for: anniversary, long-distance.
6. Silk pyjamas with her name on the sleeve
A freesize silk pyjama set (395,000–515,000 VND) with her name and a tiny icon on the left sleeve. One pink-stripe colour, fits roughly 40–60 kg. Best for: the one gift that has to be special.
7. The vanity case, if you want to overdo it
A structured, leather-look Vanity Case (545,000–745,000 VND) with her name on the lid, in neutral taupe, cream or pink. Still under US$30, which is the part she doesn't need to know. Best for: mum.
