Up-and-coming brands you need to try
#1 TimTay
It is now more vital than ever for fashion brands to think more sustainably and consumers to build a wardrobe more planet-friendly. This November, we’re happy to collaborate with such a brand from Vietnam, which is taking steps to implement ethical practices in fashion — without sacrificing on style.
TimTay, a socially-conscious brand established in 2014, goes to great lengths to make sure its production and supply chain is as responsible and clean as possible. Using 100% organic linen, cotton, silk, and recycled yarn, TimTay is pretty obsessed with making long-lasting, timeless clothes and accessories that are key to a greener wardrobe.
This November on GiftGood, you can try out a collection of accessories by TimTay including scrunchies, mug coasters, face masks, and eco roll-up sleeves, all made from reused excess fabric from garment production. You won’t be disappointed as they are all eye-catching, high in quality, and at the same time remind you that you are being mindful of our planet.
Wanna get TimTay's linen accessories as corporate gift with your logo embroidery? Yes, why not?
#2 INGO
Do you know family fun doesn’t require leaving the house and a bunch of planning? You can count on this brand-new product on GiftGood for a fun night staying in your living room, getting cozy in your jammies, and making a piece of art with the people you love.
INGO offers a fun DIY art kit for you to make beautiful woodblock prints of 500-year-old Đông Hồ art, which originated in Vietnam. And the good news is, you don’t need to consider yourself “crafty” to start getting creative and imaginative with this INGO Kit. The holidays have been rolling around, so why not start getting your creative juices flowing?
INGO Kit is available for pre-order only, with a MOQ of 50 kits.

You know, we all just can’t get enough of them since the diversity of tea has proven that it has something to offer everyone.

A more conscious gifting experience: Newly launched eco-friendly packaging
Whether you’re a loyal customer who’s been following our path from day 1, or just happen to surf through our site for a few minutes, you might notice that we’ve been constantly seeking green practices for our business, from eco-friendly products to sustainable packaging options.
If you’re an eco-conscious consumer who’s looking for a smart alternative to traditional packaging materials, you now have the option of choosing a reusable bag by Peco Bag or a recycled tote bag by Dong Dong Sai Gon as your preferred gift bag packaging instead of the standard mailer box or premium gift box. These new, long-lasting recycled bags, which come in different colors, sizes, and shapes, are a wonderful option for customized packaging and stand by themselves as a great gift for multiple daily uses.
Besides, you know what they say, less is more. We always encourage you to go with no-frills packaging, which is more conscious, ethical, and forward-thinking. But if there’s a need to choose a more deluxe product packaging option, you can pick add-on ribbon or shredded paper with extra charges. So choose wisely!
