What is a push present?
A push present, or push gift, is a present gifted to a new mum by their partner or father of the baby. It's usually given after birth, but can be given before - some partners even take theirs to the delivery room to present to their partner immediately post-birth! (Side note: it's never too late to gift the mother of your children one).
Most popular in the United States, the push present is becoming more common in the UK thanks to celebrities and royals showing off their luxe birthing gifts.

What is a typical push present?
A typical push present is a piece of jewellery, such as a ring, necklace or bracelet. Some are chosen to represent the baby's date of birth, with a birthstone or engraving, or the new baby's initial.
How much should you spend on a push present?
There are no hard rules when it comes to the amount a push present should cost, so whatever you're comfortable in spending. Just remember if you're buying, your other half has just given birth to a baby, nine months of blood, sweat and tears...
