Whenever My family and I go visit other country, One couldn’t resist doing a lot of bargaining around town and buy things for our loved ones/friends and relatives back here in Singapore. But last time We went to Vietnam I tried my best to only just buy something for my friends and family and something that I really needed rather than my wants. I’m not so sure if I’m really successful doing that until this time but who knows! I’m still a girl! Who’s wants and needs is very hard to think and compare! haha! Anyway, Here are some of the things we bought in Vietnam last time we went there to visit our very good friends Allan and Ann Nhu who’s going to have their first baby very soon! Everyone’s so excited!
These are strawberry candies, tamarinds, Vietnamese coffee, ginseng and tea’s We bought back in Da lat Vietnam where we had our kinda like second holiday because the weather there is so cold like Baguio in Philippines I guess, Compare to a hot weather in Ho Chi Minh. Coffee and ginseng are for my husband and Dad back in Philippines. Tea is for me since I love drinking tea! This tea we got have this very yummy and a bit fruity taste compare to a regular tea. I like it! The strawberry candies and tamarinds I gave to my friends already here in Singapore.
These are the Vietnamese Coffee filter my husband bought for himself since He bought a pack of Vietnamese coffee as well. Vietnamese like having their Coffee with ice. But my husband always love his coffee so hot rather than Vietnamese ice coffee.
Don’t you love these colourful bags? One for my daughter and one for me as well! Thanks to our Vietnamese friends who’s very kind buying stuff for my daughter Ashlee haha! I love how colourful these bags perfect for spring and summer! haha! Will definitely buy some more when I get back in Vietnam!
Earmuffs and Scarf since it’s very cold in Da lat Vietnam at night when we walk around the night market. Bought the pinky crochet lollipop as well for my daughter’s dolly Ashley haha!
This doll looks so gorgeous! Been walking around the place in Vietnam and been seeing this doll everywhere! I know my daughter likes it but I’m trying my best not to buy since its big and won’t be able to fit inside our luggage because you cannot press it. Down below part of the doll is made with styrofoam so its impossible to fit in anywhere. Ended up that I bought it as well and My daughter dragged it in the airport until we landed in Singapore haha!
Since we won’t be able to bring some fresh strawberries we picked by ourselves back in Da lat Vietnam, We have this big strawberry pillow instead haha! Cute right?
Of course! Whenever we go to other country, We surely buy some pasalubong t-shirts for our friends!! I bought 10 pieces of this. Just sad that they don’t have this in singlets because I don’t usually wear clothes with sleeves.
Bought these 10 pieces of jade bracelets as well for my friends! I love how it has dangling buddha’s it’s cute that I couldn’t resist buying them! Supposed to just buy shirts from Vietnam! But oh! well! that’s for everyone’s good luck!
Hope to be back in Vietnam as well very soon. Really enjoyed the company of our Vietnamese friends and the couple Allan and Anna. Good luck to your coming baby! Will blogging a lot more about Vietnam very soon! thanks guys! God Bless everyone! xx
