The "Mẹ Yêu Con" gift box includes products for both baby and mother, made from Organic Cotton certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Organic Content Standard 100 (OCS 100). It is pure and gentle — like gifts from Mother Nature that care for the health of both people and the planet. This special gift box draws creative inspiration from the four paintings of the Tu Quy series in Dong Ho folk art: Prosperity - Wealth - Humanity - Courtesy — not only sending good wishes to the baby but also proudly telling the story of Vietnamese culture.
It is a gift that begins with Love, flows through creativity, and crystallizes into a gift box named: MẸ YÊU CON - MOTHER LOVES CHILD.
Every baby who enters this world is a miracle. MiMi hopes to be present in that sacred moment. If you are looking for a truly meaningful gift for both baby and mother, give the "Mother Loves Child" gift box as a loving blessing and a perfect beginning!
Packaging Features
1. Creative inspiration from folk culture
The "MOTHER LOVES CHILD" gift box is designed like a storytelling painting, inspired by the Tu Quy series in Dong Ho folk art: Prosperity (Baby holding a Rooster) – Wealth (Baby holding a Duck) – Humanity (Baby holding a Toad) – Courtesy (Baby holding a Turtle).
- The image of a babyface with sparkling eyes and a joyful smile, gently hugging an organic cotton boll — a symbol of the material MiMi uses to craft each soft, pure, and safe piece of clothing and fabric, as tender and comforting as a mother’s embrace.
- The image depicts a simple, content mother, fulfilled in her sacred role of being a Mother, her eyes are filled with love, sitting near a sewing machine and a loom, weaving clothes, garments, and scarves to care for her children. Above her head is a halo stylized with patterns inspired by the Dong Son drum, serving as a reminder of cultural roots and the enduring strength passed down through generations of Vietnamese women.
- Around the four sides of the box are images of four mascots inspired by the traditional “Four Seasons” paintings, each representing the wishes to child from their parents.
TURTLE: Symbolizes calmness, wisdom, longevity, and perseverance. A mother’s wish for her child to be healthy, gentle, and well-mannered.
BOMBINA MAXIMA: Symbolizes compassion, bravery, and standing up for what’s right. A mother’s hope for her child to be kind and impartial.
ROOSTER: A wish for success, good fortune, and bravery. The rooster also symbolizes five noble virtues: Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Integrity.
DUCK: Symbolizes agility, grace, and a life of warmth and abundance.
2. Sự tích Cây Vú Sữa - Mẹ kể Con nghe
For generations, every night before bedtime, grandparents or parents have told their children stories—sometimes The Legend of the Star Apple Tree, sometimes The Toad Sues Heaven, or Son Tinh – Thuy Tinh, and many others. These folk tales not only help children sleep soundly but also nurture their souls with profound lessons about morality, filial piety, courage, and compassion.
That is how grandparents and parents pass down cultural memories, gently planting seeds of kindness in their children’s hearts—subtle yet deeply rooted, a form of “education through love” that endures over the years.
Emerging from The Legend of the Star Apple Tree, the child is surrounded by sweet, nourishing star apples, symbolizing a mother’s milk that gives her child the very first flow of life—not just sustenance, but love, the invisible bond between mother and child from the very beginning.
The image of the star apple tree also symbolizes a mother’s unconditional love and tolerant for her child.
For Vietnamese women, breastfeeding is not just instinct—it is a beautiful, sacred cultural tradition of passing on love, strength, and selfless devotion.
Just as nature nurtures all living things, a mother’s milk is the most original gift she gives her child—gentle yet enduring, pure yet complete—a reflection of a life philosophy rooted in deep love and harmony with nature.
3. High-quality art paper
Feel the raw texture – the Mimi spirit within
Mimi’s gift box is made from high-quality art paper, unlike the glossy, plastic-laminated boxes you often see. Its slightly rough, textured surface invites you to touch and truly feel its raw, natural character—a deeply emotional experience that embodies Mimi’s spirit: choosing what is original, simple, yet full of love.
For those who appreciate craftsmanship and traditional values, you can also order a limited edition made with Vietnamese handmade paper—a special gift to share love in a meaningful and truly refined way.
Mimi hopes you’ll keep this gift box as part of your Mimi collection—a keepsake you can display somewhere in your space. Or, if you prefer, you can return it to Mimi for reuse. Mimi thanks you—and so does the Earth!
4. Small gift – big value for sustainable development
The Mimi gift box is not just a present to welcome a baby—it is a project that embodies responsibility toward the community, the environment, and cultural heritage. From the use of organic cotton that is safe for both baby and mother and environmentally friendly, to partnerships with local creative communities, every detail in the box is designed to promote sustainable living, mindful consumption, and the preservation of traditional values.
The project is part of Mimi’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
