Push Present Ideas: Gifts for Your Daughter When She Becomes a Mom

What a push present is, why more parents now give one to their daughter, when to give it - and six necklaces from Mom and Dad she'll wear long after the newborn days.

She carried the baby for nine months and brought them into the world. Everyone else will be looking at the baby - a push present is a small way of saying you saw her, too. More and more, it comes from her own mom and dad: the people who raised her, marking the day she starts raising someone of her own. Here's what a push present is, when to give one, and six necklaces she'll keep wearing long after the newborn days.

What is a push present?

A push present is a gift for a mother to mark the birth of her baby. The name is a little tongue-in-cheek, but the idea is simple: the baby gets all the attention and all the gifts, so this one is just for her. It's most often jewelry, because jewelry lasts - and a necklace from her parents says what a tired new mom most needs to hear.

When should you give it?

There's no rule. Some parents bring it to the hospital, some give it on the first visit home, some wait until the first weeks have settled. If you live far away, send it straight to her door - every piece arrives gift-boxed and ready to open.
