Choosing a corporate gift in Vietnam means balancing two things: something people will actually use, and something that fits your budget once you factor in the tax treatment covered in our guide to employee gift tax rules in Vietnam. Since there's no tax-free threshold for employee gifts and VAT applies to giveaways at market value, it's worth picking items with real everyday utility rather than novelty pieces that end up in a drawer.
Below are 20 branded merchandise options priced in VND, ranging from low-cost desk items suitable for large-scale Tet gifting to premium tech pieces for recognizing tenure or landing a major client. Each includes material, branding method, minimum order quantity (MOQ), and a link to the product page.
What makes a good corporate gift in Vietnam
- Everyday utility. Items people use at their desk, on their commute, or at home get far more brand visibility than one-off novelty gifts.
- Price tier matches the occasion. Budget items (under 200,000 VND) work well for large Tet gifting rounds; premium items (500,000 VND and up) suit client appreciation or tenure recognition.
- Culturally relevant where possible. Tea-related items and warm apparel land particularly well during Tet and the cooler months in northern Vietnam.
- MOQ fits your headcount. Check minimum order quantities against your team or client list before committing to a design run.

An inexpensive add-on that pairs naturally with the notebook options above, and a sustainable alternative to a plastic pen.

How to match the gift to the moment
For company-wide Tet gifting, lean on the budget tier: the A5 notebook, Americano mug, bamboo pen, or socks all sit under 150,000 VND per unit and scale easily to large headcounts. For milestone recognition or a strong year, the headphones, powerbank, or RollTop backpack sit in a premium tier that signals real investment in the employee. For client and business-partner gifts, the notebook-and-pen combo, the tea bottle, or the luggage tag tend to land as thoughtful rather than promotional, and stay easiest to document for the non-cash-payment-proof rule above 5 million VND.
Whichever tier you choose, remember that none of these gifts are tax-free to the employee in Vietnam, and VAT applies to giveaways at market value unless they're part of a registered trade-promotion program. See our full breakdown of Vietnam's employee and client gift tax rules for the compliance details, or our country-by-country guide to employee gift tax rules if you're running a gifting program across multiple markets.
