Lantern 13
Description
Lantern 13 does personalised stamps and engraved chopsticks, and does them well. The stamps come out clean, the chopsticks take about an hour, and they’ll engrave in languages other than English without making it weird (Norwegian apparently works fine).
Buy three stamps and you get a discount, plus they throw in free fridge magnets. The owner is warm and generous once you’re actually shopping, and the prices are low enough that haggling feels almost unnecessary (almost).
The lanterns on display are for selling, not for free photo backdrops. There’s a 10,000 VND photography fee if you just want the shot – pay it, don’t be awkward about it.
