The gifts are special porcelain products made for "Vietnam's Pride" campaign and designed exclusively for medical staff,nurses and doctors. Decorations of these tumblers are inspired from heart-warming stories and photos taken throughout the times that Vietnam is under the pressure of controlling the spread of Coronavirus and recreated with colorful and modern graphics of three main themes: Quarantine,Stay Home and Pride.
