Here are our top picks for the cutest baby 100 days celebration gifts, one-month gifts and baby full month gift boxes to mark a baby’s big milestone!
Been invited to a baby’s 100 day celebration or full month celebration and looking for a full month gift box? Or maybe you are planning your own baby’s 100 days celebration or one-month party and are looking to gift your guests a full month baby box? Here we discuss everything to know about a baby’s 100 days celebration including full month gift boxes, customs and food!
What is a baby’s 100 days celebration?
A baby’s 100 days celebration is traditional in Chinese culture and is also practised by some other Asian countries as well while some cultures celebrate the first month of a baby’s life aka baby’s full month. A baby’s 100 days celebration marks the end of the most vulnerable period for new babies and mums or, in some cases, an end to confinement!
Baby’s full month celebration
The full-month celebration or one-month celebration marks baby’s first full month and many celebrate this milestone. But for those who choose to wait another few months to reach the 100-day mark, you’ll get a little more time to get settled with your new baby (and plan for the celebration!) For the ultimate baby 100-day celebration you’ll need to organise a party venue, catering, and sometimes even goodie bags!
Any rules around baby’s 100-day celebration gifts?
Traditional baby 100 days celebration gifts usually include symbolic gifts, gold jewellery, baby full month gift boxes and ang baos from older family members and close friends, as well as prayers for the new baby and their family. The proud parents would distribute red eggs (symbols of fertility and of life’s changing process). Their circular shape symbolizes happy and harmonious life while in Chinese customs red signifies good luck, fortune, and happiness.
New parents will often give out presents to announce their child’s first month or 100 days so these gifts are often packages with traditional desserts and a photocard of their baby. Most full month gift box packages include delivery if you wish to send out 10 or 5o boxes to announce your child’s arrival to friends and family. While parents give out gifts as a form of announcement, you may wish to also gift the new parents something to wish them well or celebrate the baby’s first month of 100 days. When you give your gifts in person, always hand the present with both your hands which shows respect – the same goes for accepting a gift. Baby 100 days celebration gifts or full month gift boxes may be slightly different to the traditional newborn baby gifts so to help you out, here are some gift ideas!
Baby 100 Day Celebration Gifts & Full Month Gift Boxes:
1. Gold Jewellery: Baby 100 Days Celebration Gift
A very traditional baby 100 days celebration gift is gold jewellery. Gifting a gold bracelet, pendant or necklace is a solid choice for a traditional gift for most 1-month-old children or 100-day celebrations. Gold jewellery of any type is a lucky sign of wealth in Chinese culture. We also love the idea of gifting mama the present instead of the baby – so you could turn the 100-day baby gift into a mama gift instead and give a gorgeous gold necklace or bracelet to mum! Local brands include Lee Hwa and Soo Kee or there’s Linjer for its minimalist clean designs. For modern affordable jewellery brands click here.
2. Traditional Baby 100 Days Celebration Gift: ang baos
One of the most traditional baby 100-day celebration gifts has to be ang baos – which is money placed in a Chinese red envelope. The amount given should end with an even number while favouring the auspicious number eight. Giving new parents an ang bao with $88 or an amount with “88” in it signifies wishing double fortune and blessings. Follow these ang bao rules if you choose this as a baby 100 days celebration gift!
