Decoration ornaments this year have more modes and they are more eye catching. Owner of Hoang Pho store in Nguyen Trai Street, named Bien Thi Ngan, said that, this year Christmas products have new designs; for example, laurels, snowmen, bells, ornaments, Christmas trees, etc, have more lively patterns. “Purchase power this year is higher than that last year. Some kinds of products have been sold out now”, she revealed.
 
The store of nuns in front of Nha Trang Cathedral in Thai Nguyen Street sells not only decoration products for Christmas but stone caves, Jesus statues, cross, angel statues, etc. 
 
Bakeries also offer kinds of Christmas cakes like Christmas log, ginger cookies, etc. with prices from VND50,000/cake.
 
On Facebook, there are a lot of services related to Christmas offered, like decoration service, present giving by Santa Claus, Christmas party organization, etc. Such services cost from VND300,000 to VND2 million.
 
Lots of promotions
 
Christmas and year end is the time for sale off. Many stores and companies have launched promotions on this occasion. There are a lot of banners with 20%, 30% or even 50% sale-off. Some vendors also sell inventory products on pavements. Most of them are clothes, footwear, household articles.
 
Most of the sale off products are inventory or unfashionable. Goods on pavement often doesn’t have good quality and origin. Be careful when buying sale off goods.
