What's a good (lucky) gift for a pregnant Chinese (Taiwanese) woman?
Colin T
My sister-in-law is from Taiwan, but lives in America. She recently became pregnant, and I know her well enough to be sure that she would appreciate a traditional Chinese acknowledgment of some kind. While I can find lots of Chinese traditions about baby gifts for children, I can't find anything about the mother except how she should behave during the pregnancy. What, if anything, would be a good gift for her before the baby is born?
Answer
A bamboo plant is considered Lucky - as is the number 6.
Which year is this that the baby will be born in? You could get her a stuffed animal of whichever animal year the baby will be born in. It might be the Rat in 2008. Maybe you can find a "cute" stuffed animal rat?
Rat
The rat applies to anyone who is born in 1912, 1924, 1936, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032, and 2044.
The rat was the first animal in the Chinese zodiac cycle. The rat is usually considered to be aggressive, ambitious, power-hungry, suspicious, generous, honest, quick to anger and prone to spend freely. All of those who are born under the sign of the rat are charming, imaginative and generous to the one they love. However, those born under the sign of the rat are frequently hot-tempered and overly critical. They are normally suitable in sales or as a writer, publicist or critic. Rats have to avoid Horses but get along well with Dragons and Monkeys.
Hope I could help!!! I'm sure anything special for her would be a nice gesture too - certificate to a spa, restaurant, baby store?
