The gift sets for Singaporean babies aged six to 24 months will have three items, according to tender documents seen by The Straits Times.
They each will have:
- An “educational item” that encourages parents to spend time with their babies and help them learn through play activities. One possible example given is a family of six characters made of flannelette to encourage parents to engage in story-telling sessions.
- An “interactive item” that encourages parents to bond and communicate with kids.
- A “memorabilia item” that represents the journey and growth of a family. It will be the “most significant” in the set and should be “treasured as a keepsake for the family”.
Among other stipulations, the items should be presentable (clearly visible by the audience when being presented on stage), meet safety standards and be of good quality.
They should also be “culturally sensitive” – suitable for all races and religions, and gender neutral.
Overall, the gift set will be convenient to carry, and the items would be such that they can be seen through the packaging “for more visual appeal”.
