Ms. Kieu Thi Thu Phuong - Owner of ZOZO Viet Tri bookstore said: "With the characteristic of Tet calendars being sold seasonally and at specific times, they are concentrated on the days close to the New Year and a few days after Tet. For that reason, the bookstore has based on the purchasing power of Tet calendars in previous years, along with a survey of customer needs, so that we can import a moderate quantity to avoid the situation of not being able to sell them all."
Taking advantage of the lunch break on the last day of 2024, Ms. Nguyen Xuan Thuy, Gia Cam ward, Viet Tri city is looking to buy a desk calendar to take notes on necessary tasks. Ms. Thuy shared: "Because of the nature of my job related to tourism activities, I always need a desk calendar to conveniently monitor, arrange work time reasonably, and take notes on tasks that need to be done. Thanks to the habit of using a desk calendar, I can grasp the work conveniently, limiting the possibility of missing work due to forgetfulness. Besides, I can also easily save the old calendar, so I can review the information when necessary."
For many people, a desk calendar is an important item for work, but for Ms. Hoang Thi Tuyet, 70 years old, Minh Phuong ward, Viet Tri city, the thickness of the Tet calendar is a ruler to measure the length of time. On the last day of the year, looking up at the calendar hanging on the wall, she recalls the things she has done in the past year and is ready to hang up the new calendar she bought, hoping for a new year with good health and full of joy with her children and grandchildren.
2025 Lunar New Year Calendar is designed with unique models and diverse sizes.
Ms. Tuyet shared: "For many years now, I have looked at the calendar every morning as a habit. Every year, the Tet calendar is improved, more meticulously cared for in terms of materials, images and colors. The numbers and information on the calendar are also easier to understand and remember. In addition, the calendar is printed with many folk songs, proverbs, fables... containing life lessons, profound human values and very practical messages."
It can be seen that over time, the Tet calendar still retains its profound traditional cultural value. However, assessing the 2025 Tet market, many publishers, bookstores, stationery stores... said that the Tet calendar market in recent years, not just in 2025, has been somewhat quieter than before.
Explaining the reason, Ms. Vu Thi Thanh Xuan - Store Manager, Tu Chon Bookstore, Hung Vuong Street, Gia Cam Ward, Viet Tri City, a major calendar publisher in Viet Tri City, said: Currently, many schools, agencies, units, banks, businesses... tend to use Tet calendars as gifts for staff, employees, and customers at the beginning of the new year. Along with that, with the explosion of digital technology, many Tet calendar models are widely promoted by e-commerce sites such as Shopee, Lazada, Tiki or websites specializing in selling calendars... with reasonable prices and fast delivery. This convenience also causes the traditional calendar market to shrink somewhat.
Not only that, in the digital age, smart devices such as phones, computers, televisions, watches... are all integrated with calendar viewing features for users to easily follow. This is also considered the reason affecting the consumption of the calendar market this year.
Although the calendar market in 2025 is somewhat less vibrant than in previous years, hanging Tet calendars is still considered a traditional cultural beauty of many Vietnamese families, becoming a decoration, a cultural and intellectual bridge between the past and the present, imbued with humanity about love for people, homeland and country of Vietnam. However, Tet calendars, regardless of version or genre, always retain their traditional values, becoming a measure of time in human life and an indispensable spiritual gift every time Tet comes and Spring comes.
