FAQs

• Quà sinh nhật dưới 500k có đủ ý nghĩa không?
  Hoàn toàn có! Quà tặng không nằm ở giá trị tiền bạc, mà ở sự tinh tế khi bạn lựa chọn. Với ngân sách dưới 500k, bạn có thể chọn các sản phẩm handmade độc đáo, mang dấu ấn cá nhân và đậm chất văn hóa Việt, vừa gần gũi vừa tạo kỷ niệm khó quên.
• Tại sao nên chọn quà sinh nhật handmade thay vì hàng công nghiệp?
  Quà handmade không chỉ đẹp mà còn chứa đựng tâm huyết của người thợ. Mỗi sản phẩm là bản duy nhất, thể hiện sự chỉn chu và tình cảm của người tặng. So với hàng công nghiệp, quà thủ công giúp món quà trở nên gần gũi, cá nhân hóa và đáng nhớ hơn nhiều.
• Làm thế nào để chọn quà sinh nhật phù hợp với từng người?
  Điều quan trọng là cân nhắc sở thích và phong cách sống của người nhận. Người yêu thích sự tiện ích có thể thích bình giữ nhiệt hay túi da, trong khi người trân trọng nghệ thuật sẽ cảm nhận được giá trị từ tranh thêu tay. Chọn đúng “gu” sẽ khiến món quà thêm ý nghĩa.
