There are many milestones for new parents. From sharing a pregnancy announcement to being showered by friends and family, the parents-to-be will make so many memories during their pregnancy. The baby’s day of birth is the biggest milestone of all, which is why some choose to commemorate it with a push present.

What Is a Push Present?

A push present is given to a mother to celebrate her giving birth. It may be given the day of birth, before or after.  

Also called baby baubles and push gifts, these presents are an acknowledgment of the hard work that comes along with months of bearing a child. 

Push Present Etiquette

Since push presents are a relatively new trend, the etiquette surrounding them is still evolving. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Push presents are usually given to new moms by their partner or a close family member.

This present is often given to the woman in the delivery room, but it’s perfectly acceptable to give the present before or after the birth as well. It is not expected to get a push present for dads, since this is a special acknowledgement of the mom’s important work in giving birth.  

Here are some unique ideas for you to consider as you look for the perfect gift.
