In short: from Teachers’ Day on 20 November to Tết on 6 February 2027, one gift fits almost everyone on your list: an hour of real rest. At Ōmni Space in Thảo Điền, Saigon, a float gift card is 1,500,000 VND for 60 minutes or 2,000,000 VND for 90, a float for two is 2,700,000 VND, and the Intro Pack gift gives three 90-minute floats for 3,000,000 VND.
It is mid-November and the list is already long: a teacher who carried your child through a hard term, a Secret Santa name, the team, a partner, a friend flying home for good, your parents before Tết. Most of them own enough candles and mugs. What they are short of is quieter: a night when sleep comes easily, a Monday that does not feel like Friday all over again. This guide gives you one gift for every date until Tết, with clear prices, card messages and a link your recipient can open to know what to expect.
Choose in 30 seconds
Three questions, and you are done:
- Who is it for? A first-timer, someone after a heavy year, a couple, or someone ready for a new habit of rest.
- What is your budget? 1,500,000 VND (60 minutes), 2,000,000 VND (90 minutes), 2,700,000 VND (90 minutes for two) or 3,000,000 VND (the Intro Pack gift: three 90-minute floats).
- Alone or together? A single float is an hour that belongs only to them. A float for two means one large square pool, side by side, no words needed.
Still unsure? First-timer: 60 minutes. Someone tired: 90. Someone you want to see truly rested by spring: the Intro Pack.

Why rest makes the gift that lands
Tiredness is paid in small, daily ways: two hours in bed before sleep comes, a Monday as heavy as last Friday. Float answers that directly. You lie back in water close to skin temperature, with dense, mineral-rich Epsom salt dissolved in it, so the body floats by itself. The private room is dark and quiet, so the mind slows down. New to it? Read what is float therapy.
Float therapy is a young but very active research field: randomised controlled trials have shown clear effects on anxiety, stress, muscle tension and sleep, and new studies are still under way. Think of it this way: cold to wake up, float to go quiet. Ōmni has both, with a cold plunge at 7–12 °C and an infrared sauna with red light at 45–55 °C.
Ōmni Evidence Scale: Strong evidence. For stress and relaxation, several trials point the same way. We rate it Strong because, on top of these trials, user experience is overwhelmingly positive: in a 2025 survey of regular floaters, 92% reported relaxation and 77% less stress, echoed by thousands of reviews, Reddit threads and forums, and by athletes and public figures who float. See how we rate evidence on the Ōmni Evidence Scale.
This season’s float gifts
The Intro Pack gift: three floats instead of one
One float to try, three to feel the difference. The Intro Pack gives three 90-minute floats for 3,000,000 VND, half the regular 6,000,000 VND, presented in a Christmas–Tết gift envelope. Add one million, and your recipient has three floats instead of one. The first float starts within one year of purchase, and all three are used within three months of it, a rhythm where rest starts to feel like a habit. The pack belongs to one person; bringing someone they love costs 700,000 VND per session.
A single-float gift card
A 60-minute float is 1,500,000 VND and a 90-minute float is 2,000,000 VND, in a gift envelope. Buy a 90-minute card in November and your recipient also gets an infrared sauna session when they come in. Cards sold this season are valid for 12 months, so nobody has to squeeze it into the busiest weeks.
A float for two
Going together costs the single price plus 700,000 VND: 2,200,000 VND for 60 minutes, 2,700,000 VND for 90. The couple room has one large square pool, so two people float side by side in soft darkness, close without needing to talk. Read more about the couple float.
Company gifts
For bosses, partners and VIP clients, the Intro Pack gift. For a whole team, a shared pack of 10 floats of 90 minutes is 18,000,000 VND and valid for 12 months from purchase. Company gifts come with a card in your company’s name and are delivered before 25 January 2027, ahead of the year-end party. See year-end employee gifts and our corporate wellness programme.
