Choosing a Vietnamese handicraft gift depends on whether the recipient wants a seasonal Tết display, a cultural artwork for the wall, or a small keepsake they can hang anywhere. I rank the KYMY red-and-gold fan first for its large, recognizable New Year presence, while the LOONELO Nha Trang scroll is a quieter choice centered on a specific landmark. For a compact gift, the Ha Long Bay wooden ornament is easier to display, and the four-piece Tết watermelon and sticky rice cake set gives a room a broader holiday scene.

The tradeoffs are practical: larger decorations need space and, in two cases, assembly; the scroll uses imitation rattan, the ornament is small, and the food-themed set is made of paper. I compare these options by how clearly they connect to Vietnamese culture, how readily they fit a recipient’s home, and what their materials and display needs mean in everyday use.
Complete the kit
Key Takeaways
- The KYMY fan is the strongest choice for a prominent Tết gift, but it needs assembly and its listing gives inconsistent material details.
- The LOONELO scroll focuses on Nha Trang’s Po Nagar Cham Towers and rolls for storage; its imitation rattan and indoor-only use may matter to material-conscious buyers.
- The Ha Long Bay ornament is the easiest pick for a small exchange or travel keepsake, though its roughly four-inch size limits how visible it is across a room.
- The four-piece watermelon and sticky rice cake set creates the most complete Tết tabletop or cultural display, with paper construction and simple assembly as tradeoffs.
- Choose by display scale and occasion: the fan suits a doorway, the scroll a wall, the ornament a tree or small space, and the paper set a seasonal group display.

More Details on Our Top Picks
KYMY Vietnamese New Year Wooden Fan Wall Hanging with God of Wealth Pendant and Tassel
The KYMY fan is my first choice when the gift should immediately read as a Vietnamese New Year decoration. Its broad fan shape, red-and-gold palette, God of Wealth pendant, and tassel combine into a conspicuous seasonal piece. At 29.1 by 17.7 inches, it has more visual reach than the smaller LOONELO scroll and the four-inch wooden ornament, making it better suited to a door, open wall, window, or shop display than to a crowded shelf.
That scale is also the main limitation. A recipient needs a clear spot to hang it, and the product requires assembly, so it is less convenient as a grab-and-display gift than the ornament. The food-themed set can create a wider Tết scene with several pieces, but it is made from paper; the KYMY offers a single focal point instead. There is also an information gap: the listing describes wooden materials but lists polyester as well. I would not choose it for someone who needs precise material sourcing without checking with the seller first.
For a recipient who decorates for Tết and enjoys symbolic, high-visibility ornaments, this has the clearest gift impact in the group. Its seasonal look is less versatile year-round than the Nha Trang landmark scroll, and its assembly and material ambiguity are real drawbacks. Still, among these four, it gives the strongest balance of cultural symbolism and room-scale presence.
Pros:- Large fan shape makes the decoration visible from across a room.
- Red and gold, a God of Wealth pendant, and a tassel make the Tết theme immediately recognizable.
- Can be displayed on a door, wall, or window in a home, office, or store.
- A more prominent single focal piece than the compact wooden ornament.
Cons:- Assembly is required before display.
- The listing gives inconsistent material information, naming wood and polyester.
- Its seasonal symbolism and large dimensions may not suit year-round or small-space décor.
Best for: Someone who decorates a doorway, wall, or shop for Tết and wants a large red-and-gold focal piece.
Not ideal for: A recipient with limited display space, a preference for year-round décor, or a strict requirement for clearly documented materials.
- Brand:KYMY
- Materials listed:Wooden materials; polyester also listed
- Dimensions:29.1 × 17.7 inches (74 × 45 cm)
- Color and shape:Red and gold; fan
- Theme:Vietnamese New Year
- Included components:Cord and string
- Package quantity:1
- Item weight:0.27 kg
- Assembly:Required
Our verdict“I recommend the KYMY fan for a Tết gift that needs a large, symbolic presence, provided the recipient has room to display it and accepts some uncertainty about its materials.”
LOONELO Vietnam Nha Trang Faux Rattan Wall Hanging Scroll
The LOONELO scroll takes a more place-specific approach than the KYMY fan. Its artwork depicts Nha Trang’s Po Nagar Cham Towers, giving it a cultural landmark focus instead of a broad New Year theme. At 16.9 by 12.6 inches, it is easier to fit into a modest wall display than the KYMY’s large fan, and its landscape format can sit naturally among framed prints or other travel keepsakes.
Its standout practical detail is that the lightweight hanging is designed to roll for storage. That makes it a sensible gift for someone who rotates decorations or has limited storage, where the fan’s larger shape may be harder to put away. The tradeoff is the material: it is imitation rattan, not natural rattan. It is also described for indoor use only, so it cannot serve as outdoor patio décor. Compared with the four-piece paper Tết set, the scroll is a simpler single artwork and does not create a multi-object holiday display.
I would rank it second because it is the most focused pick for someone who values a Vietnamese place or travel connection and wants a compact wall piece. It has less Tết symbolism than the fan or food decorations, so it suits a different occasion and taste. The included gift box helps presentation, though buyers seeking a natural woven material should look elsewhere or verify the construction before buying.
Pros:- Depicts the Po Nagar Cham Towers in Nha Trang, giving the gift a specific place connection.
- Lightweight form is designed to roll for storage.
- Smaller than the KYMY fan and easier to fit into a compact wall arrangement.
- Includes a gift box.
Cons:- Uses imitation rattan rather than natural rattan.
- Specified for indoor display only.
- Its landmark theme is less directly tied to Tết than the fan or food decoration set.
Best for: A traveler, Vietnam enthusiast, or recipient who wants a compact indoor wall piece featuring a specific Vietnamese landmark.
Not ideal for: Someone seeking natural rattan, outdoor décor, or a strongly Tết-centered gift.
- Material:Imitation rattan
- Dimensions:16.9 × 12.6 inches
- Weight:5.6 ounces
- Color:Green
- Shape and orientation:Rectangular; landscape
- Mounting:Wall mount
- Usage:Indoor
- Package:1 wall hanging and gift box
Our verdict“I recommend the LOONELO scroll for a Vietnam-inspired wall gift with a clear Nha Trang connection, as long as imitation rattan and indoor-only display suit the recipient.”
Vietnam Wooden Christmas Ornament with Ha Long Bay and Lotus Design
For a small gift that can travel easily or fit on a tree, the wooden Vietnam ornament is the most compact pick here. The roughly four-inch, two-layer design combines a conical hat shape with a full-color scene that includes the Ben Thanh Market clock tower, Ha Long Bay, and Hoi An lanterns. A jute cord is included, and the listed display options extend beyond a Christmas tree to a wall, door, or car mirror.
This is a keepsake rather than a room-scale decoration. Its small size makes it easier to wrap and display in a limited space than the KYMY fan or LOONELO scroll, but it will not command attention from across a room. The KYMY has a more overt New Year identity, while this ornament gathers several Vietnam-related images into a portable format. Compared with the paper food set, it is one self-contained object rather than four pieces to arrange.
The listing describes the ornament as wooden and notes that it may be less durable than sturdier materials. I would treat it as a decorative keepsake, not a robust toy or an object for frequent rough handling. Its Christmas framing may also make it a less natural match for someone looking for a Tết-specific gift. For an exchange, a travel memento, or a small reminder of Vietnam, its compactness is its main advantage.
Pros:- Combines several recognizable Vietnam scenes in one compact ornament.
- Includes a jute hanging cord.
- Can be displayed on a tree, wall, door, or car mirror.
- Gift box makes it convenient to present as a small keepsake.
Cons:- Its approximate four-inch size limits visibility at a distance.
- The wooden ornament may be less durable than sturdier materials.
- Christmas framing is less specific to Tết than the KYMY fan or paper food set.
Best for: Someone seeking a small Vietnam-themed keepsake for a Christmas tree, car mirror, door, or compact display.
Not ideal for: A buyer who wants a large, highly visible decoration or a gift centered specifically on Tết traditions.
- Material:Wood
- Design:Two-layer conical hat shape with Vietnam scene
- Dimensions:0.3 × 4 × 4 inches
- Approximate size:4 inches
- Weight:1.12 ounces
- Hanging cord:Jute
- Quantity:1
- Occasion:Christmas
Our verdict“I recommend this ornament as a portable Vietnam-themed keepsake, especially when a compact display matters more than a prominent or Tết-specific decoration.”
Vietnamese Tet Decorative Watermelon and Sticky Rice Cake Set, 4 Pieces
This set is the best fit when the gift should make a seasonal display feel more complete. Its four paper pieces represent a watermelon slice and three Vietnamese sticky rice cakes: two Banh Tet cakes and one Banh Chung cake. Banana leaf wrapping, bamboo ties, and New Year greetings give the decorations recognizable food and holiday cues. That makes the set more scene-setting than the KYMY fan, which creates one large focal point, and more explicitly Tết-oriented than the landmark scroll or Christmas ornament.
The pieces ship flat and require simple assembly. That keeps the package light and easy to store before the holiday, but the recipient must spend a little time putting the decorations together. The largest listed piece, the Banh Chung cake, measures 7 by 7 by 2.5 inches; the watermelon measures 10 by 3 inches. These dimensions suit a tabletop, office, restaurant, or cultural-center display better than a large empty wall. Buyers wanting a single hanging decoration may find the KYMY fan more straightforward once assembled.
Paper is the central compromise. It keeps the set lightweight and makes a group of four possible, but it does not offer the same material feel as a wooden ornament, and it may not suit someone who expects a sturdy heirloom object. The listing describes the pieces as designed for repeated seasonal use, though careful handling and storage will matter. I rank it fourth overall because its use is more specific and its assembly and paper construction narrow the audience; for a Tết host or cultural display organizer, those same four coordinated pieces may make it the most fitting choice.
Pros:- Four pieces create a more complete seasonal display than a single ornament.
- Uses recognizable Vietnamese Tết food symbols, including Banh Tet and Banh Chung.
- Designed for display at home, in offices, restaurants, or cultural centers.
- Ships flat and is lightweight for storage between seasons.
Cons:- Simple assembly is required after arrival.
- Paper construction may be less sturdy than the wooden ornament or wall hangings.
- Its food and New Year theme is more seasonal than the LOONELO landmark artwork.
Best for: A Tết host, teacher, restaurant, office, or cultural center looking for several coordinated seasonal display pieces.
Not ideal for: Someone wanting a single ready-to-hang gift, a durable keepsake, or a decoration with no assembly.
- Pieces:4
- Contents:1 watermelon slice, 2 Banh Tet cakes, 1 Banh Chung cake
- Watermelon dimensions:10 × 3 inches
- Banh Tet dimensions:3 inches diameter
- Banh Chung dimensions:7 × 7 × 2.5 inches
- Material:Paper
- Product dimensions:10 × 8 × 1 inches
- Item weight:4 ounces
- Assembly:Ships flat; simple assembly required
Our verdict“I recommend the four-piece set for a host or organization building a distinctly Tết-themed display, provided paper construction and assembly fit the recipient’s needs.”
How We Picked
I compared the four products as Vietnamese handicraft gifts, focusing on the cultural details each one communicates and the kind of display it supports. A gift can be visually festive without being a good fit for every recipient, so I looked at scale, material, mounting or hanging options, storage, and whether the design is tied to Tết or suitable for broader year-round display.
The ranking reflects distinct gift roles rather than a single measure of quality. The KYMY fan leads for a large, traditional New Year statement; the LOONELO scroll follows for a landmark-focused wall piece that stores compactly; the small wooden ornament is the most portable keepsake; and the paper food decoration set is the best choice when several coordinated Tết symbols matter more than durable construction. I also account for stated drawbacks, including assembly, indoor-only use, small dimensions, and listings whose material descriptions are not fully consistent.
These descriptions are based on the supplied product information. I do not infer handmade production, natural materials, or performance beyond what the listings state. Buyers who specifically want a piece made by an artisan or from a particular material should confirm those details with the seller before choosing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Vietnamese Handicraft Gifts
I would choose among these gifts by starting with the recipient’s display space and the occasion. Their Vietnamese references range from Tết symbols and food to a Nha Trang landmark and a compact collection of familiar scenes. Those differences matter more than treating all four as interchangeable wall or holiday décor.
Match the gift to the occasion
For a gift explicitly tied to Tết, the KYMY fan and the watermelon-and-cake set make the clearest choices. The fan uses red and gold with a God of Wealth pendant, so it works as a single festive statement. The paper set represents foods associated with the holiday and includes four coordinated elements, making it a better fit for a table or group display. The LOONELO scroll centers on Po Nagar Cham Towers, while the wooden ornament is framed for Christmas. Both can suit someone who enjoys Vietnamese imagery outside the New Year season, but their themes are less directly about Tết.
Think about size and where it will hang
The KYMY fan is the largest at 29.1 by 17.7 inches, so check that the recipient has open wall, door, or window space. The LOONELO scroll is smaller at 16.9 by 12.6 inches and is designed for indoor wall display. The wooden ornament measures about four inches and fits a tree, car mirror, door, or small wall area. The paper set is arranged as a group and is better suited to a tabletop or seasonal display than to a single wall hook. Choosing for the actual space avoids giving someone a decoration they cannot comfortably show.
Read material descriptions carefully
Material affects both the feel of a gift and the care it may need. The wooden ornament gives a compact wood keepsake, while the LOONELO piece is made of imitation rattan. The four-piece set is paper, which keeps it light but makes sturdy handling less appropriate. The KYMY listing mentions wooden materials and polyester, so anyone with a specific material preference should confirm what the item contains. The supplied details do not establish artisan production for any of these products; if handmade origin is part of the gift requirement, ask the seller for that information.
Account for setup and storage
Two of the options require some preparation: the KYMY fan needs assembly, and the paper set ships flat for simple assembly. The LOONELO scroll is designed to roll for storage, a useful feature for seasonal rotation or limited storage space. The ornament is a single small piece with a hanging cord, so its setup is simplest. I would favor the ornament for a recipient who wants a ready-to-hang keepsake, and the scroll for someone who values compact storage after display.
Choose between one focal piece and a coordinated group
A single piece is easier to place and gives a gift a clear visual role. The fan is a large focal decoration; the scroll is a smaller landmark artwork; and the ornament is a compact personal keepsake. The paper set offers four pieces, which can make a display feel more varied, but it asks the recipient to arrange them and find enough surface area. Think about whether the recipient enjoys decorating a scene or prefers an object that can be hung and left in place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which of these gifts is most specifically tied to Tết?
The KYMY fan and the four-piece watermelon and sticky rice cake set are the most clearly tied to Tết. The fan uses a red-and-gold palette and a God of Wealth pendant for a prominent seasonal display, while the paper set depicts foods and greetings associated with Vietnamese New Year. I would choose the fan for one large focal point and the set for a coordinated group of decorations.
Which option is easiest to display in a small space?
The wooden ornament is the easiest fit for a small space because it is about four inches and includes a jute hanging cord. It can go on a tree, door, wall, or car mirror without needing a broad display area. The LOONELO scroll is the next more compact wall option, though it still needs a suitable indoor wall spot.
Are these products described as handmade Vietnamese crafts?
The supplied product details describe Vietnamese themes, materials, and decorative designs, but they do not confirm that any item is handmade or produced by Vietnamese artisans. If artisan origin is a requirement for your gift, I would ask the seller directly about where and how the item is made before ordering.
Which decoration can be stored most compactly?
The LOONELO scroll is explicitly designed to roll for storage, which makes it a practical choice for someone who puts seasonal décor away after use. The paper set also ships flat, though it requires assembly for display. The KYMY fan is larger and requires assembly, while the ornament is small enough to store with other keepsakes.
What should I check before buying the KYMY fan?
I would check whether the recipient has room for a 29.1-by-17.7-inch hanging and whether they are comfortable assembling it. I would also clarify the material with the seller, since the listing names wooden materials and polyester. Those details matter more for this option than for the compact ornament or the scroll designed to roll away.
Conclusion
For a large Tết focal point, I would choose the KYMY fan, after checking display space and material details. For someone who loves Vietnamese places and wants indoor wall art that stores compactly, the LOONELO Nha Trang scroll is the more fitting gift. The wooden ornament suits a recipient who values a small, easy-to-hang keepsake, while the four-piece paper set is my pick for a Tết host, classroom, restaurant, or cultural display that can use several coordinated symbols. The right choice comes down to whether the recipient wants a bold seasonal statement, a landmark artwork, a portable memento, or a small holiday scene.
