When is the correct birth gift to send?

Even if you give a baby gift too early or too late, it can be a violation of etiquette. To avoid putting any extra strain on the other person, make sure you check when the appropriate period is appropriate.

When is it time to give birth gifts?

Generally, birth gifts are given between one week and one month after birth. This is between the time of "Osinnaya" and "Osin the shrine visit."
As the name suggests, Osinaya is an event held on the 7th day of birth, and families and relatives gather together to celebrate the birth of the baby and pray for healthy growth. Shrine visits are events where you visit shrines and temples one month after birth, report on the birth of a baby, and pray for health.

What is the best time?

One week after birth is likely to be still hospitalized or immediately after being discharged. Both mother and child are often unstable, so the best time may be about 2-3 weeks old. Even in this case, if you are visiting at home, you need to check the situation of the mother and baby in advance and take care not to put any strain on them.

Is it okay to give a celebration before giving birth?

In some cases, it may be difficult to celebrate at the right time during a short period of just a few weeks between the age of one week and one month, so you may want to give it to them in advance.
However, pre-birth celebrations are considered taboo. . Although it is rare, it may be because even if you can see without any problems until just before, you may not be able to give birth safely. Be sure to celebrate after giving birth and checking the health of your mother and child.

What if I get late?

Although etiquette is within one month of birth, it is fine even if you get a little late. However, since the recipient will prepare a "housewarming gift" as a return gift, if the time is too out of date, there is a concern that it will be a hassle to arrange an additional housewarming gift. Try to give it as little as possible without delay.
If you find out about the birth of a baby some time after birth through New Year's cards or social media, you can send it within one month of receiving the report.

What should I give?

Cash may be wrapped as a baby shower gift, or a child-rearing-related item may be given as a gift. You can decide based on your relationship with the other person and the preferences of the recipient. However, it is safer to avoid giving cash to someone higher than you, as it is rude to do so. In recent years, catalog gifts that allow recipients to choose what they want have become more popular.

Is it okay if it doesn't have to be handed over?

It may be difficult to make a living, or your mother may be unstable after giving birth, or it may be difficult to visit. Preparing to welcome guests may be a burden due to poor health or unfamiliar childcare.
One option is to celebrate by registering cash, delivering products, or by catalog gifts. It's fine to meet your baby and tell your mother and father in person to celebrate your celebration after a while.

Is there anything I should be careful about?

When giving cash, it is considered appropriate manners to avoid numbers 4 and 9, which are reminiscent of "death" or "suffering", such as 40,000 yen or 90,000 yen, and to prepare them as new bills. We will use a gift envelope with a red and white mizuhiki as a bow and send it with the words "Congratulations," "Birth Congratulations," "Birth Congratulations," and "Safe Baby Congratulations."

What people say is different?

The various "HOW TO" related to baby showers are not rules, but are just etiquette. There is some variation in the information featured on websites and information magazines, but none of them are wrong, and it cannot be said that which is the best.
What's important is caring and consideration for the other person. Once you've got the main focus, you don't have to worry about too many details. Be careful not to cause any strain or discomfort to the other person, and make sure you are expressing your desire to celebrate the birth of your baby.
