Pregnancy is one of the most transformative journeys a woman can experience. Whether it’s her first, third, or even fifth, each pregnancy brings its own set of challenges and joys—from physical discomforts to emotional highs and lows, and everything in between. It’s a whirlwind of anticipation, growth, and change that can feel both overwhelming and beautiful.

After all the sacrifices and strength it takes to bring a new life into the world, a thoughtful gift is the perfect way to honor and celebrate the mom-to-be for everything she’s been through.

While the baby is, of course, the ultimate gift, it’s important to also acknowledge the mother’s incredible achievement in bringing new life into the world. A thoughtful push present can serve as a meaningful gesture to honor her strength and dedication throughout the pregnancy and delivery. It’s a heartfelt way to say, “You did it!” and show deep appreciation for all the hard work, love, and patience that motherhood brings.

What is a push present?

A push present, also known as a “push gift” or “baby bauble,” is a thoughtful gift given to a mom after she has given birth. It’s a way to show appreciation for the incredible journey of pregnancy and to celebrate the arrival of a new baby. It also serves as a meaningful keepsake for Mom—something she can cherish and associate with this special time in her life.

Push presents have gained popularity in the pregnancy community over the years, though some debate whether they are necessary. However, the value of a push present isn’t in its cost or origin—whether it’s handmade or store-bought—but in the thought and care behind it. After all, mothers deserve recognition and a little extra love after childbirth. What truly matters is the effort you put into considering her feelings and desires.

To help inspire you, we’ve compiled a list of 16 thoughtful push present ideas for new moms and wives!

No matter what direction you choose to take with a push present, remember that it’s all about honoring the monumental effort that goes into bringing a new life into the world. When women have babies to grow their families, their motivation isn’t to receive gifts, nor do they see it as a service. However, that doesn’t make the process any less significant, demanding, or courageous.

A push present is a meaningful way to recognize and celebrate the physical and emotional toll pregnancy, labor, and delivery can take. Whether you choose a timeless piece of jewelry, a stylish new handbag, a cozy robe or even a small token of gratitude, it’s the thought behind the gesture that truly matters. It’s a way to show her how much you appreciate and value what she’s putting her body through to fulfill your shared dream of parenthood.

We hope this list sparks inspiration and helps you find the perfect way to say “thank you” to the incredible new mom in your life. Happy push gifting!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Why are push presents given?

Push presents are given to recognize and celebrate a mother's physical and emotional effort during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. While the baby is the ultimate gift, a push present serves as a special way to acknowledge the hard work and sacrifices made throughout the pregnancy and childbirth journey.

2. Do push presents have to be expensive?

No, the value of a push present isn’t about its cost—it’s about the thought and care behind it. Whether it’s a handmade token or a luxury item, what truly matters is that the gift reflects appreciation for the mother’s strength and the monumental effort it took to bring new life into the world.

3. When should a push present be given?

A push present is typically given after the birth of the baby, as a way to celebrate the mother’s achievement. It can be presented during her hospital stay, once she returns home, or even after she’s had time to adjust to life with her new baby. The timing can vary depending on the circumstances, but the gesture should feel personal and thoughtful.

4. Is a push present only for the mother, or can it be for both parents?

Though traditionally a gift for the mother, a push present can also be a thoughtful gesture for both parents. Some couples choose to celebrate their shared experience by exchanging gifts, marking the moment of parenthood as a joint effort. This is especially meaningful for partners who want to recognize each other's contribution to the new chapter in their lives.

5. Can a push present be given for a second or subsequent child?

Absolutely! While push presents are often associated with a first baby, they can be just as meaningful for subsequent pregnancies. Each birth is unique, and a push present serves as a way to celebrate the mother’s ongoing journey through motherhood, no matter how many children she has.

6. Is it okay to ask for a push present?

While traditionally a surprise, it’s perfectly okay to express your desire for a push present if it’s something you would appreciate. Clear communication is key, especially if there’s a specific gift or gesture you’ve been hoping for. It’s all about celebrating the experience, and sometimes a little hint helps ensure the gift is something you’ll truly enjoy.

7. Can a push present be a practical gift?

Yes, push presents don’t always have to be luxurious or extravagant. Practical gifts, such as a high-quality diaper bag, a comfortable nursing pillow, or a sleep mask for better rest, can be just as thoughtful and appreciated. Practical gifts help make the new mom's life easier and more comfortable during her postpartum journey.

8. Can a push present be given before the baby is born?

While traditionally given after birth, a push present can be given before the baby arrives, especially if the mom will appreciate it in her pregnancy journey. This could be something that helps her feel pampered or prepare for postpartum recovery, such as a prenatal massage or a maternity robe.
