[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] Convenience store Ministop announced on the 7th that it will conduct pre-orders for Lunar New Year gift sets from the 12th of this month until the 2nd of next month in celebration of the 2021 Lunar New Year. A total of 655 items including meat, seafood, health foods, hobby goods, and home appliances will be sold.

This year's Lunar New Year gift sets are characterized by an expansion of products that consider customers' changed lifestyles due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Reflecting the changed leisure activities, hobby goods such as camping and golf, which can be enjoyed in small groups while maintaining social distancing, have also been expanded.

Golf products reflecting the increasing trend of customers in their 20s and 30s enjoying golf are also introduced. They will sell the Simmax iron 8-piece carbon set (1.2 million KRW) and the XXIO 11 women's driver (800,000 KRW), as well as golf goods such as the Hillcreek bag set consisting of a stand bag and Boston bag (380,000 KRW) and Volvik XT 12 soft balls (39,800 KRW). Additionally, various accessories such as the CL2 compact laser rangefinder (529,000 KRW) and the AIM watch-type rangefinder (199,000 KRW) can also be pre-ordered.

Considering the increase in camping population, various camping goods are also introduced. They will sell the Buffalo Mega Tarp Screen House Tent (310,000 KRW) and the Classic Wide Dome Tent (200,000 KRW), which allow for spacious camping. Also introduced are the versatile folding compact table (32,000 KRW) and the field picnic chair (29,000 KRW). The Campcot bed (63,000 KRW) and Roda single sleeping bag (27,000 KRW), which help you sleep comfortably outdoors, are also available.

In addition, the tomahawk meat set (70,000 KRW), a tomahawk-shaped steak popular in family restaurants, is also sold. Fruit products such as Jeju Cheonhyehyang and Jeju tangerines directly shipped from production areas, seafood, ham, kitchen appliances, and specialty products are also prepared.

Moon Yongcheol, Ministop Service Team Product Planner (MD), said, “Due to social distancing, many customers are expected to send their feelings through gift sets as they cannot visit their hometowns for Lunar New Year,” and added, “We have made efforts to reflect the changed lifestyles of customers due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic in the gift sets.”
