What to buy (and avoid buying) as souvenirs in Nha Trang, Vietnam?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 9 days ago
TL;DR
Good buys from Nha Trang include quality Vietnamese coffee with fruit syrups and the Fino hair mask (especially for blondes with porous hair). Skip the 3-in-1 coconut/mango coffee and body moisturizing creams — they tend to disappoint.
What the community said
The Fino hair mask is worth buying, especially for blonde or porous hair types — it works well for that hair profile. The Shiseido hair mask is also widely promoted by bloggers and worth considering.

Instead of 3-in-1 instant coffee with coconut or mango flavoring, buy quality Vietnamese ground or bean coffee and separate fruit syrups (mango, passion fruit). The result at home will be much better.

Body creams sold in Nha Trang with claims of deep moisturizing tend to disappoint — they leave a surface film without actually hydrating the skin. Not worth the luggage space.

3-in-1 instant coffee with coconut or mango is a popular souvenir pick, but the taste is mediocre. For a better coffee gift, opt for plain quality Vietnamese ground coffee instead.
