My wife Judy and I recently welcomed our eighth grandchild, Eleni, into the world. As you might imagine, babies — and the joy they bring — have certainly been on our minds. When our youngest son, Stevie, asked us for push-present ideas to give to his wife, Kelli, we had plenty of suggestions to share.
So what exactly is a push present?
Simply put, a push present is a gift given to celebrate the birth of a baby. It is a gift specifically for the new mom — a way to honor her strength, love, and the incredible journey she has just experienced. Welcoming a child into the world is both one of life’s most challenging and most rewarding moments, and a push gift brings the focus back to the mother who made it possible.
Jewelry is a particularly meaningful way to mark this moment. It becomes a tangible reminder of those first precious hours with her new baby — and of the love and appreciation behind the gift — something she can wear and cherish every day.
Push presents can come from a partner, spouse, or even proud grandparents who want to celebrate the newest addition to the family. No matter who gives the gift, the intention is the same: to make the new mom feel loved, appreciated, and celebrated.
Birthstone and Personalized Jewelry
Personalized jewelry offers a tailored touch to the push gift concept. It commemorates the birth month of the newest member of the family. Each time the new mom looks at the birthstone jewelry, she remembers the time when she became a mom. Birthstone options come in all categories of jewelry, including earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
Personalized jewelry also starts a tradition for future babies. Add to her collection of push present jewelry to represent all of her children. Like a birthstone, an initial or name plate adds a personalized touch that represents the new family member. If you already know the baby’s name, you can easily purchase a piece of jewelry with the first name or initial before the birth. If you want to symbolize the changing composition of your family, incorporate the initials of the parents.
Sparkling Diamond Earrings
Earrings work well as a push present because they are something the new mom can wear every day and regardless of ring or show size – diamond earrings always fit and make the wearer feel special. Diamond solitaire earrings (both natural and lab grown) offer a classic, versatile option, but push present earrings can be any style or shape. The earrings don’t need a special connection to the birth itself. Simply receiving the earrings on the day her child is born is enough to make them special. Each time she slips them into her ears, she’ll fondly remember your love and the birth of her child.
An Additional Band to Complement Her Wedding Ring
The wedding ring she wears every day represents your love and takes her back to your wedding day. It is a very important symbol to show your strength and commitment to one another. The birth of a child is just as monumental as getting married. With a new baby in the picture, that love you share continues to grow. Choose a band that fits beside her wedding ring, paying close attention to the style of the original band to ensure they look good together. We at Padis can provide suggestions for bands that will work well. Each time she gazes at her hand, she’ll not only remember her love for you but also the growing love your family has, thanks to the birth of your new baby.
A New Timepiece
Cell phones may be the go-to way to tell time, but an elegant designer watch is still a relevant and useful accessory in a new mom’s life. Not only will a new watch keep her on time for those pediatrician appointments and play dates; it also decorates her wrist with a sophisticated style. Choose a watch that fits her style and the way she might use it. Luminescent hands and easy-to-read numbers make the watch visible even in a dark nursery or under sleep-deprived conditions.
Celebrating Life’s Most Precious Moments
No matter your role in the expectant mother’s life, a thoughtful push present is a beautiful way to celebrate the birth of a baby. Jewelry creates a lasting keepsake — something she will treasure for years and eventually associate with one of the most meaningful days of her life.
