Considering the significant increase in sales of alcoholic beverage gift sets during last year’s Chuseok, CU is introducing a large selection of premium alcoholic beverages. Representative products include the Glen Grant 60-Year-Old whiskey, limited to only 360 bottles and priced in the tens of millions of won, and the Cognac Prapan Cuv?e Lablet, with the bottle neck and base plated in gold.

Expecting more customers to prepare practical gifts amid the high inflation era, CU has increased the number of gifts priced under 100,000 won by about 20 compared to previous years, and enabled payment through the Pocket CU application without visiting stores. Additionally, digital home appliances such as Samsung TVs, refrigerators, and massage chairs are also being introduced.

To help consumers shop economically, CU is holding a prize giveaway event for customers who make advance purchases through Pocket CU until the end of this month. Among customers who purchase N+1 event products, 90 people will be selected by lottery to receive CU mobile gift certificates.

Kim Jeong-hoon, head of product development at BGF Retail, said, "The holiday gift trend is showing a polarized consumption pattern, with purchases concentrated on premium products and practical products. We have prepared a variety of products at different price points that have not been available at convenience stores before, reflecting the latest trends."
