Corporate Tết Gift Order Calendar 2027: Key Dates from Fixing the Budget to Delivering the Gifts

The first day of the first lunar month of the Đinh Mùi year is Saturday, 6 February 2027 (according to the Báo Hà Tĩnh lunar calendar tool (opens in a new tab)). Under Notice 11483/TB-BNV of 9 October 2026 from the Ministry of Home Affairs, republished by the Hà Tĩnh Province e-portal (opens in a new tab), officials and civil servants are off from Thursday, 4 February 2027, the 28th day of the 12th lunar month of the Bính Ngọ year, through the end of Wednesday, 10 February 2027, the 5th day of the first lunar month of the Đinh Mùi year.

Cross-checking the two sources: 4 February is the 28th of the 12th lunar month and 6 February is the first day of Tết, so 5 February 2027 is the 29th of the 12th lunar month, the last day of the Bính Ngọ year. This year the 12th lunar month is short and has no 30th day. A company used to counting its dates from “30 Tết” needs to move back one day.

For ordering gifts, three lunar dates are often mentioned: the 1st of the 12th lunar month (8 January 2027), the full-moon day of the 12th lunar month (22 January 2027) and the 23rd of the 12th lunar month, Ông Công ông Táo day (Saturday, 30 January 2027). All three are looked up on the Báo Hà Tĩnh lunar calendar (opens in a new tab), viewed 8 November 2026.

The table below lists the key dates in both Gregorian and lunar dates, with what should be done by each. The “What should be done” column is a suggestion for orders with many gift sets; adjust it to your company's internal expense-approval schedule.

According to CafeF on 10 October 2026 (opens in a new tab), an employer chooses one of three leave options for Tết Đinh Mùi and must notify employees at least 30 days in advance. Gifts sent to an office need to arrive before the recipient's last working day, not the giver's.

Suggestion: have gifts arrive at least one day before the recipient's last working day. If the recipient is absent or the address is wrong, there is still time to arrange a second delivery before the holiday. For a comparison of handing gifts over in person versus sending them by delivery, see the article Tết gifts for business partners.

The simple way is to start from the day the gift must reach the recipient, then subtract each period of time going backwards:

1. 1Step 1: The day the gift must arrive: choose it according to the recipient's last working day (see the leave options table above).
2. 2Step 2: Subtract the delivery time: for inner-city Ho Chi Minh City, per the delivery schedule fixed when the order is confirmed; for provinces, ask about the time and fee when confirming.
3. 3Step 3: Subtract the preparation time: at Yến Sào Uyên Nguyên, a single inner-city order is delivered 1–2 days from confirmation; an order of about 100 gift sets needs 3–5 days to prepare and deliver.
4. 4Step 4: Subtract your company's internal approval time: approving the quote, signing the payment request, transferring a deposit if any.
5. 5Step 5: Leave a few spare days for redelivery or changing a recipient.

There are no figures yet for Tết 2027, but the Tết Bính Ngọ 2026 season shows the trend. The newspaper Tuổi Trẻ on 29 January 2026 (opens in a new tab) reported that shipping orders in Ho Chi Minh City from late January 2026 rose by about 20–30% compared with normal days, warned of traffic jams and local driver shortages, and advised placing and sending orders about 5–7 days before Tết.

Also in the 2026 Tết season, a notice from Giao Hàng Nhanh (GHN) (opens in a new tab) recommended placing inter-provincial orders before 9 February 2026, that is, 8 days before the first day of Tết Bính Ngọ (17 February 2026). Applying the same gap to this year gives a corresponding date of Friday, 29 January 2027 (22nd of the 12th lunar month). This is our own reference calculation, not an announcement by any carrier for Tết 2027; carriers usually publish their own schedules closer to Tết.

1. 1Step 1: Send the number of gift sets, the type of nest or the budget, and the delivery date via Zalo or the hotline 0901 312 279. From 10 sets corporate pricing applies and Uyên Nguyên sends a separate quote; listed prices on the website include VAT.
2. 2Step 2: Approve the quote and the sample photos of the gift box. The red box lined with golden silk, with a carrier bag, is included at no extra charge and keeps the Uyên Nguyên brand; printing your company logo is quoted separately.
3. 3Step 3: Confirm the order in writing: the number of sets, the company name and greeting printed on the card (orders of 10 sets or more get a card from Yến Sào Uyên Nguyên printed with your company name, logo and a greeting of your choice), the VAT invoice details, and the delivery address list.
4. 4Step 4: Agree on payment: bank transfer or COD; the deposit amount and COD collection for deliveries to several addresses are agreed for each order.
5. 5Step 5: Uyên Nguyên prepares and delivers: an order of about 100 sets in 3–5 days; delivery is free in inner-city Ho Chi Minh City, and for provinces the fee is quoted per order.
6. 6Step 6: Uyên Nguyên's last delivery day before Tết in inner-city Ho Chi Minh City is Thursday, 4 February 2027 (28th of the 12th lunar month). An order of about 100 sets should be confirmed by 30 January 2027 at the latest, to leave the full 3–5 days of preparation.
7. 7Step 7: The e-invoice with VAT is issued as soon as the goods are delivered, on the day of delivery.

To compare gift levels by amount per set, see Tết gifts by budget; for gift boxes and frequently asked questions, see Corporate Tết Gifts 2027 and corporate gifts. If you need to combine nest with sweets and nuts and print a logo on the box, use the gift box design tool. A detailed to-do list for purchasing teams is in the corporate Tết gift order checklist 2027.

Yến Sào Uyên Nguyên sets no order deadline. A single inner-city Ho Chi Minh City order is delivered within 1–2 days from confirmation. You can also visit the Tân Định Store (53 Trần Nguyên Đán, Phường Tân Định, TP. Hồ Chí Minh, open 8:00–21:30 daily) to choose a gift box to take away.

For orders with many gift sets or going to provinces, the closer to Tết, the harder it is to fix a schedule, because the packing team, the carrier and the recipients are all busy. When a gift cannot arrive before the holiday, call the recipient and send your greetings first; short sample greetings are in the article Tết 2027 greetings to send to partners.
