Push Present...

What is it??? push present (also known as a "push gift" or "baby bauble") is a present a new father gives a new mother when she gives birth to their child. In practice the present may be given before or after the birth, or even in the delivery room.

So the husband wants to know what I want. Well of course I told him any jewelry or one of these...Any other suggestions?
I think I am going to get him something too because (not that I have been a complaining pregnant woman or anything-yet...) he really has been wonderful! I couldn't ask for a better husband and I thank my stars every day for him.

  8. my hubby already knows that when/if I ever get pregnant that I would want a Canon Rebel camera... in fact in our house it is called "the mommy camera" .

    all of those presents look great and it is a great idea to do something for him as well!!

  9. Awesome push-gifts (even though I've never heard of such a thing). I'd seriously go for the Reva's...but I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you get :).

  11. I personally would get jewelry (that's what I "want" if I could pick - ha!) because then it is an heirloom...especially since you're having a girl. I feel like the other stuff is fun, but you probably won't wear the shoes in 30 years and be able to tell your little girl as she's expecting her first that her father gave them to you...but I like the sentimentality behind I push presen, if that makes sense. There are tons of bags and things I want, but I think it's kind of cool to have something that you can keep/use forever...jewelry, heirloom, silver, etc
