Here are our top picks for the cutest baby 100 days celebration gifts or one-month gifts to mark a baby’s big milestone!
Been invited to a baby’s 100 days celebration and looking for a gift? Or maybe you are planning your own baby’s 100 days celebration or one-month party? Here we discuss everything to know about a baby’s 100 days celebration including gifts, 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. 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 100 days 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 days celebration gifts?
Traditional baby 100 days celebration gifts usually include symbolic gifts, gold jewellery 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 custom red signifies good luck, fortune, and happiness.
Baby 100 days celebration gifts are a great way to show a mama friend you’re proud of them for an amazing first few months with bub. When you give your gifts, always hand the present with both your hands which shows respect – the same goes for accepting a gift. Baby 100 days celebration gifts may be slightly different to the traditional newborn baby gifts so to help you out, here are some baby 100 days celebration gift ideas before you attend your next baby 100-day party!

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.
