Baby Gift Hampers for the 100th Day Celebration

What’s the celebration of a 100th Day?

New babies bring forth so much joy and are always cause for celebration. Of late, the practice of celebrating babies on their 100^th day on earth has caught on. This celebration is common in Asian countries and marks the baby’s first full 100 days. Many Asian cultures believe that both mother and child are very vulnerable during the first 100 after birth. In ancient times, if both of them made it to this day, it was considered a good omen.

Celebrating the 100-day milestone

In Asian countries, a family is the centre of society and new life is often considered a huge blessing. New birth brings people together to mark the happy occasion. These friends and relatives bring newborn baby gifts

The 100-day milestone is a great time to celebrate the end of confinement. The Lorean tradition has always considered the 100^th day or Baek-il to be an important day to celebrate. Perhaps this has something to do with harsh winters.

The parents give auspicious objects during the celebration to well-meaning friends and relatives. Red eggs are selected for guests as they’re a symbol of life’s changing process.

• The egg’s circular shape symbolizes a happy and harmonious life.
• The red color is symbolic of good luck, fortune, and happiness

To make the eggs red, one can either boil 12 eggs at once then dye the outside with red food colouring. Alternatively, wet red calligraphy and wipe it off on the eggs to spread pink colouring.
