MumCentre - Red Eggs & Ginger Party - The Full
Month Celebration
In the Chinese tradition, the first month birthday of a newborn
calls for a celebration. It is the time for proud parents to host
a red egg and ginger party to announce their latest addition to
their family. Invited guests come to the party with red packets
if the newborn is a boy and jewelry if it’s a girl. In appreciation,
the host will hand out red eggs to all guests.
The red eggs and ginger parties came about due to high infant
mortality rates in ancient China. A newborn who reaches one month
of age is likely to survive and thus families call for celebration.
This is also the time when the new mother emerges from her confinement
period. The new mother is considered weak after birth. To allow
her to recuperate and to keep her from any possible virus or bacterial
infection, she would go through the month long confinement period
resting indoors.
Traditionally in the male dominant Chinese culture, red eggs
and ginger parties were sometimes held only if the newborn was
a boy. Baby girls back then might have gotten only a small family
dinner for celebration.
Today, the red egg and ginger party is hosted for all newborns,
regardless of their sexes. Party standards and ambience have evolved
over time, with an ‘East meets West’ concept. They
have gotten more elaborate - from restaurants to party organisers
and buffets. However, the red egg tradition remains as an important
part of the celebration.

including many other personalised gifts and favours to celebrate

Doris Goes Shopping - Check Out Partridge Pear Gift Favours
I have lots of admiration for entrepreneurs, I really do. I remembered
taking the step to becoming one when I was 21 years old - that
was so fun then. Looking back, it was a little scary!
If you are a parent and you live in Singapore or nearby, you
will want to check out the party and gift favours at Partridge
Pear. Impressive and attractive, Partridge Pear is all about high
quality gift packages with a good sense of taste. After all, the
birth of your baby is a nice announcement you like to share with
families and friends. Being entrepreneurs, the owners from Partridge
pear are doing alot of work by themselves and I would classify
them as indie business people anytime. The gift packages are of
high quality at reasonable prices compared to many merchants.
You should also check out their lovely premium photo cards and
e-invites which can be customized specially for your little ones.

Only eggs? That's passe (The Sunday Times - July 13, 2008)
Benita Aw Yeong
Glamorous gift packages containing chocolates and cookies are
finding favour with young parents wanting to celebrate their child's
birth in a special way.
Gone are the days when new parents strictly followed the Chinese
tradition of just giving red-dyed eggs and ang ku kueh (steamed
glutinous rice flour cakes) to celebrate the first month of their
newborn.
Never mind the ancient symbolism of eggs representing new life
- trendy young couples are now going for glam with gift packages
containing Japanese and Western-style gourmet items.
Butter chess cookies, cupcakes, swiss rolls, mochi (Japanese rice
cakes) and even Belgian chocolate eggs are yummy treats finding
favour as gift favours.
The glam factor does not stop there. Packages sent to relatives
and friends come with a customised card printed with the child's
photo, weight at birth and birth date too.
And it isn't cheap: while the traditional set of two home-dyed
red eggs and two rice cakes cost just $1.50, new-styled first-month
gift packages can cost $3.90 to $15.90 each.
They can include quirky items such as a teddy bear plush toy,
Belgian chocolate eggs, a lollipop and even potpourri in an organza
pouch.
Retailers operating mainly online have sprung up to produce, assemble
and customise these packages. Parents order them by simply filling
up an online form.
Pround parents Nicholas Ng, 30, an investment consultant, and
wift Serene, 28, a teacher, chose to hold a party and give out
gift packages from one such online firm, Sweetest Momrnts, in
February to celebrate the arrival of their first baby, Claris.
They spent over $500 on gift packages for more than 50 guests.
Each pretty pink box contained four swiss rolls, two ang ku kueh,
two red eggs and a customised baby card.
Mr Ng says: "We wanted a presentable gift to thank our guest.
We thought the whole concept was quite innovative and unusual.
Best of all, it could be customised with our baby's picture."
Mr Charlie Chua, 34, a sales account manager, and wife Connie,
35, a contract administrator, celebrated the birth of their baby,
Claire, with a lunch complete with 90 gift packages worth $6.90
each from Internet-based Partridge Pear.
The packs contained a fruit gummy jar, a butter chess cookie,
a pretael, mini chocolates and a lollipop - topped off with a
birth announcement card.
"We wanted a gift package to surprise our guest. Seeing their
faces made it all worthwhile," says Mrds Chua. She adds that
most of her friends have kept the packaging even though it is
more than nine months since the party.
Retailers say "extravagance" is te new buzzword when
it comes to celebrating baby's arrival.
Mr Wei Chan, business development director of neighbourhood bakery
Pine Garden's Cake, says: "We are seeing more demand for
customisation on elaborate whole cakes nd East-meets-West packages."
Ms Cynthia Toh, 30, manager of first-month gift retailer Baby
Bliaa, has customers ordering up to 200 packages at a time, with
each costing between $8.90 and $15.90.
Se says: "Parents find a standard, one-size-fits-all cake
boring. Eggs made from top quality Belgian chocolate and wrapped
in shiny foil are a popular alternative we offer."
About eight retailers have sprung up here over the past three
to four years to cater to the demand for first-month frippery.
Even well-known bakeries such as The Patissier and Bakerzin are
venturing into the market. But the majority are small online business,
which even whip up cup-cakes and the like for the parcels in home
kitchens.
Still, some parents prefer to keep to tradition. Partridge Pear
owner Denis Ng says about 30 percent of his customers still choose
to include red eggs and ang ku kueh.
As the executive director of the Singapore Federation of Chinese
Clan Associations, Madam Lim Boon Tan, notes: "Eggs signify
new life, and being red-dyed, they represent the celebratory mood
parents are in when they receive a newborn into their loves."
