Full Month Gifts in Singapore (炭月)
Man yue is one of Singapore's most significant gifting occasions when a friend or relative has a new baby!
What is the full month celebration?
Man yue marks the baby's first thirty days. Rooted in Chinese tradition, it is celebrated today by many families in Singapore with a gathering of close family and friends. Traditionally, families distribute red eggs (symbolising fertility and new life) and ang ku kueh (red tortoise cakes symbolising longevity), amongst other things. Guests bring gifts for the baby.

What to avoid at a full month celebration
- 3M sizing - babies may have outgrown small sizes by the time of the celebration.
- Battery-operated toys - parents prefer simpler, sensory-safe items at this stage
- Nursery décor items - unless you have consulted the parents first, they may not fit with the aesthetics which parents have chosen for their home.
- Large items requiring assembly or room space unless you have consulted the parents first
