What is a push present? Chat Icon

Do you mean getting a gift from DH/BF/SO after having the baby?

The only push present I want is an Italian hero, I've been craving one for the longest time, does that count? Chat Icon

Re: Push Presents (poll)

I'm not sure. I didn't ask for anything but you never know.

DH did buy me a digital slr camera when I was a few months pregnant, because he knew I would want one when the baby is here. I guess that could count.

It's not like I would create a list of desired items, but I think it is nice when you get a little something-something for all your hard work Chat Icon

Not going to happen here and that's more than okay with me. I don't see any reason for it.

Thats my feeling. I just dont get it i guess. My friend was saying that "everyone does it and deserves it" (how annoying!)

I did Chat Icon

DH gave me a beautiful Lladro figurine of a mother, father and baby boy. I picked it out at Fortunoff while pg.

I don't feel I "earned" it or anything, it was more about celebrating becoming a mom.

My DH will probably give me flowers but I don't know about a gift. The baby seems gift enough.

I honestly dont see the point of push presents. I think it is a waste of money.

I think they're a waste of $ - I'd rather put $ away for DC instead.

I honestly had never heard of such a thing until DH told me some of his female colleagues told him he'd better get me something good.... then last week when we were in the hospital the pediatrician told DH that he'd better get me two push gifts - one for going naturally and one for delivering such a big baby (he was 9lbs11oz).

DH and I just looked at each other and shook our heads...

I am, however, expecting a nice sentimental and sappy card...Chat Icon

Re: Push Presents (poll)

DH told me he is buying me one present for my 25th birthday (in exactly 10 days) and for the baby.

So I'm guessing its a super big present. I'm sure jewelry related. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

When asked I said I wanted earings with DD's birthstone and DH thought that was perfect.... later on I informed him that the April birthstone is diamonds! I am really hoping that she won't come too early!!

DH also informed that he should get a push present, when I asked why he said a "letting you push my buttons for 9 months without reacting" present. I thought that was very cute will get him a daddy present. I don't know what it will be yet, but I am hoping to come up with something cleaver.

My 40th birthday was a few weeks before I had Chat Icon and I received very generous gifts for that. I couldn't see asking for anything else after giving birth.
