Re: Push Presents (poll)

I'm delivering days before mother's day, and we've talked about Mother's day, but I didn't even think about a gift for "pushing". I think the baby's our gift to eachother... I'd be happy with a healty baby (cute helps too - Chat Icon )

DH is buying me my glider though so that can be my gift.

I agree. I think flowers from DH would be nice but I would not be disappointed if he didn't get me flowers or anything. He did give me a very small Kim Anderson statue from DD when she was born. But it wasn't really a push present. He also gave her a little teddy bear with a K on it.

I wasn't expecting anything and had never even heard of it before having DS, but some of DH's friends told him about it. I got a baby shoe charm when DS was born. Not sure if DH will get me something again this time.

I highly doubt it. We don't even exchange on Christmas or birthdays.

I have no issues with push presents. DH knows what I like and he would like to give me something. Every couple is different. I dont think it is silly and I make no apologies for feeling that way - neither would he.

Re: Push Presents (poll)

DH did not get me a push present per say. DD was born in December and for Christmas he got me a necklace with both our birthstones in it.

As for the concept itself, my father bought my mother . . . a car (me), a mink coat (my sister), and a diamond necklace (my brother).

Re: Push Presents (poll)

Probably not...I don't see the point of it and we'd rather save the $$$$ for baby.

Re: Push Presents (poll)

yes, I am- did with DH- got a necklace....

A push present doesn' t have to be that extravagant--- This time around it just happens to fall on a big anniversary for us (5th) so I am getting a watch...

I am also going to get a disc necklace with my children's names on it to wear everyday..This will not cost that much...

No push present for me. We will need all the money we have for when the baby is here.

I dont like the idea of a push present.
DS was born 5 days before Christmas, so DH bought me a necklace from him. But that was all!

My Gucci Diaper bag was technically my push present (although I had a csection) and he also got me a necklace with a bootie on it - with "Jack" inscribed on the back

Re: Push Presents (poll)

If someone's DH/SO wants to give the mother of their child a gift, so be it...but to label it "push present" sounds so tacky to me.

Re: Push Presents (poll)

I never heard it refered to as a push present. I would like a band to go above my wedding ring and we decided it would be a good gift for when the baby is born.
