What To Buy: Vietnam is a good place to buy lacquerware, pottery and cermics. We bought this cute little teapot and cups set (in a shopping centre) for just 100,000 VND, which is about 10 SGD. The seller did not have boxes, but she wrapped each piece individually in layers of bubble wrap and newspapers.

What To Buy: We bought foodstuffs and coffee to distribute to our families and friends. This package consists of coffee powder and a strainer (for drinking the drip-coffee). It doesn't cost much, just 1-2 Singapore dollars. You can find this everywhere, from Ben Thanh Market to marts. They come in different flavours - vanilla, hazelnut, weasel (!!!) etc.

What To Buy: This pretty embroidered tissue-box cover is a steal at just about 25,000 VND! You can find them being sold everywhere. We also bought some cute little embroidered pouches for our friends. They can be used for potpourri, etc. Very sweet. Each one cost around 6,000 VND, which converts to around 60 cents (Singapore dollar).

Well, we didn't buy any paintings during our trip to HCMC, but we did pass by quite a number of shops where they sell paintings. They do replicas of famous art pieces, eg. those Andy Warhol stuff, Da Vinci, etc...and some local themes (women in those conical hats). I think you can also show them your fave photos and get them to do a painting for you. However, as I had no intention of buying, I didn't ask about the price. You can find these shops in the Dong Khoi area.
