"From Rock Salt to Fire Extinguishers"... Lotte Mart Sells Unique Chuseok Gift Sets

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] As consumers increasingly express their feelings through gifts instead of visiting their hometowns due to COVID-19, more people are seeking rare and unique holiday gifts rather than ordinary ones.

On the 12th, Lotte Mart prepared a variety of premium ingredient gift sets with special rarity for Chuseok. The newly introduced ‘Live Salt Himalaya’ and ‘Live Salt Persian Blue’ sets are rock salt products preserved in rock form for a long time in the Himalayas and Iran, respectively. They have a lower salinity than sea salt and contain minerals such as calcium and magnesium, characterized by a slightly sweet aftertaste.

As another unique gift, they are selling a ‘design powder fire extinguisher.’ Unlike typical red fire extinguishers, which are often stored out of sight because they interfere with home interior decor, this product comes in three colors (white, black, and green) and features a simple design, making it suitable as an interior accessory.

A Lotte Mart official said, “This Chuseok, the third since COVID-19, we have prepared gift sets with special meanings beyond ordinary gifts. We hope this holiday will be memorable for both the gift-givers and the recipients.”
