The concept of a push present won’t be familiar to everyone. You might have bought gifts for baby showers or gender reveal parties in the past – and could have done the same for a loved one’s new-born too. But push presents have grown in popularity in recent years and can be a great way to make a new mum feel special.
A push present is simply a gift given to a woman either at or following childbirth. They’re usually bought by a partner as a show of gratitude for what the new mum has been through during pregnancy, but family members often get in on the act too.
Either way, below are five popular push present ideas to help you crown your special someone’s transition into motherhood.
Jewellery
Jewellery is often a great way to recognise the significant moments or people in our lives. Try a beautiful birthstone ring to remind them of their child when they wear it, or an interlocking circle necklace to signify their new motherly bond.
A quality, carefully chosen piece won’t go out of fashion – and you can easily spread the cost.
A pampering session
There’s no debating that pregnancy can be a tough, tiring experience on the body – especially given the average age of mothers is getting higher. What better way to help them recover than a rejuvenating stay at a spa?
Whether it’s a facial, massage, pedicure or all of it, a gift card will allow the new mum to book in once she feels ready.
Luxury loungewear
On a similar theme, the initial weeks and months of motherhood can be exhausting. They’ll probably spend most of their time at home, attached to their new child. Why not invest in some loungewear to help them feel as comfortable as possible?
A luxurious silk robe will make sure they feel great about staying in pyjamas all day.
An audiobook subscription
This one might not be so obvious – but the new mum will face long hours of feeding baby, while walks in the pram can pass without much in the way of conversation – especially in these socially distant times.
From fiction to non-fiction, an audiobook subscription will give the new mum something to focus their mind on without worrying about their child’s screen time.
A framed photo, print or art piece
Like jewellery, a framed photo or piece of art can commemorate a child’s birth and become a treasured possession for years to come. You could opt for a photo of their first moments together or organise a family photoshoot if you think they’d prefer to dress up.
A more creative option is commissioning an art piece based on the baby’s heartbeat or footprint.
As much as 70% of new mums struggle mentally during or after pregnancy. Whether you opt for glamour, wellbeing or practicality, a push present could be just what they need.
