The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Push Present

For the ultimate push present, give her a ring that shows the significance of the occasion. This particularly beautiful gold bauble is perfect for stacking. One for each child who arrives, perhaps?

Engrave this necklace with your new child’s name, and put a photo of mom and baby inside. Sterling silver makes it so mom can wear it every day, but the diamond accents kick it up a notch. Your partner won’t forget this one.

For a treasured gift that says how excited you are about your new bundle of joy, a sparkling pavé necklace in the shape of a heart will speak volumes. This version is made with CZ stones, making it just as gorgeous as the real thing but friendlier on the wallet. Now you can spend more on baby’s essentials — and there are a lot of them!

For the mom who doesn’t want something uber sparkly but is nonetheless excited about becoming a mom (especially for the first time), a sweet golden necklace with the word “Mama” is perfect. She can wear it layered or on its own.  

Three sets of gold-filled earrings with a celestial vibe are just right for the proud mother who believes her role was written in the stars — or just for a woman who adores earrings. She will love the simple style of these, and you’ll love that you got three pieces of jewelry to celebrate her!

You can almost feel how soft this robe is just by looking at it. If your new mom can’t get enough of cuddling with her bundle of joy, she will love a fleece-y robe to wrap herself in while feeding her child or for after the bath when she has a chance to luxuriate (for, say, a whole 15 minutes!).

Sometimes moms just need a moment to refresh, and for a lot of them, a cup of hot tea does the trick. With this gift, she can choose from an assortment of green and herbal teas from Tea Forte that go by such names as "Invigorate," "Purify," and "Radiance." And with the included tea set and soft, comforting wrap, she'll have everything she needs to transport her to a state of relaxation.

A spouse or partner, Gottsman says, often will bestow a spa gift certificate or basket of spa essentials on the new mom. This one is full of calming lavender-scented items, including body lotion, body scrub, body wash, and essential oil, plus an exfoliating towel, a wood-handled pumice stone, a bath mitt, and a white mesh sponge.

And now that the wee one is born, mom can rest easy knowing she can enjoy that glass of wine she’s been craving – included here are two bottles of red. Cheers to this amazing blessing!

You know your wife best. She may love to cook, but with a new baby, sometimes the most welcome gift is dinner on the table for the two of you, or your growing family. This Italian feast of two kinds of pasta, rosemary bread, and green beans will please everyone and nourish a nursing mother. Just add a salad, and maybe a glass of white, and you’re in business. Don’t worry about dessert either: The package includes tiramisu. Buon appetito!

The sweetest gift (pun intended) you could give as a push present is fresh fruit. Having nature’s candy delivered right to your door every month — and at its absolute peak, no less (the fruit is chosen seasonally) — will provide her with a consistent supply of healthy food a new mom needs. For a larger family, choose the 12-Month Fruit-of-the-Month Club Signature Classic Collection.

Splurge on the new mom and buy her a large silver-plated Waterford frame with a picture that expresses your love for her and your new one — perhaps one of your partner holding the new baby or from baby’s first photo shoot. This gift will capture a heartwarming memory she will look back on for the rest of her life.

This beyond gorgeous preserved hydrangea will wow anyone who receives it — especially as a push present. This arrangement can last over a year and is elegantly presented in a beautiful ceramic container. (Bonus: no stems to cut and nothing to water!) While the blue color works for any gender baby, if you prefer pink, order preserved pink roses instead.

Present this metal lunchbox to the mom who doesn’t want a big deal made over her or is a chocolate lover. If you don’t think she’d like the mini suitcase design, you can always get the Max Brenner Chocolate Delight Small Gift Tin.

For the ultimate push present — and a reminder of your love all year long — sign her up for a monthly flower delivery. As a bonus, her blooms will arrive every month in a glass vase, which is important because most new moms are too busy to trim stems or even remember where the vase is to put their precious flowers.

For a unique mom gift once baby arrives, this special hand-painted snow globe featuring a butterfly on a tree of cherry blossoms is something she will cherish. The treasured gift is heirloom quality; hand it down to your child to give to theirs. And babies just love a snow globe: Shake it to reveal floating, glittery snow and cherry blossom petals, and you will get some joyous coos from the little one.
