What's your "push" gift going to be?
My DH is very bad a picking out gifts so he's asked me to come up with some ideas and he'll pick the one he likes the most.
What are you ladies getting?

Re: What's your "push" gift going to be?
My husband told me he's going to get me new underwear because mine have "had a rough go of this pregnancy". He's a real romantic.
(I've also asked for a gift certificate to a spa).

The baby! I don't see the point in push gifts. But then again, I'm not a huge gift person.
ETA: Oh, and a beer! I love Summer seasonal beers and I imagine I'll need one by then!
I am sure it will be some piece of jewelry. I would love a pendant with the baby's initials or name on it. something simple and tasteful that i could wear everyday - maybe silver with a pearl in it. maybe something like this
Dream gift: I would really love a diamond tennis bracelet, but would actually be upset if DH spent that much and would insist he take it back.

Yep.
i'm with most of the ladies here: i'll be getting to meet my son. that's all the reward i need
Besides the baby? I'm hoping for a big, chewy, chocolate chip cookie for my push gift. I've had to give that up since I was diagnosed with GD.
Other than that, I'm not expecting anything!

My husband is getting me a small bracelet from Alex and Ani with an owl charm, since the nursery "theme" is owls. We don't know gender or name, so he didn't want to do anything with an initial. He used a coupon code b/c he said he spent under $20.

While I think it is tacky to ASK for a gift from your husband, If he wants to buy you something and wants your input, why is that 'silly'? I think it is really sweet that husbands want to get their wives something to mark the occasion. I think it is sad when husbands (and wives) don't want to do sweet gestures (even just a card or a notes) to let your significant other know how much you appreciate them.
I am getting my husband a state of Texas flag flown over the capitol on our daughter's birthday. He loves Texas (we both do) but he brings new meaning to Texas Pride
and I know it will be the perfect gift for him. I also got our daughter a pink onesie with the battle of Gonzales flag (Come and Take It) and a few other things.
I agree that I think asking for a "push present" is completely stupid!
However, I do also agree that if DH/SO wants to buy you something - then let him do it.
The only thing I want is sushi after delivering! I am requesting that SOMEBODY bring me some Crazy Tuna and Rainbow rolls as soon as that baby is out of me!!! Mmmmmmmmmmm.... so hungry
We aren't actually calling it a "push present" but I've always wanted to do stackable right hand rings for each of my children. Each ring would alternate with a diamond and the child's birthstone and be thin similar to my wedding band. I won't be getting it in the hospital since baby might be born in May if he's early and if he is in June, I think we'd go with alexandrite over pearls.
I understand people think that push presents are dumb, but I like the idea of having something for each of my children that's subtle and doesn't scream baby. Plus MH is finally finished with all his medical training (after 10 looong years) so we are each getting something to celebrate (he's getting a new mountain bike)
After reading, apparently this makes me tacky. Hahaha, I can live with that.
oh boy, not this subject again...
it's very nice if your dh just buys you something out of the blue, without you dropping hints or asking him
but since he's asking you for ideas, why don't you tell him "thanks but no thanks"
This!!
Me too

This exactly!
oh yeah, no kidding, i forgot mother's day is coming up so soon
i'd rather have something for mother's day than a push present... not that i'll get anything for mother's day either lol
my DH asked what I wanted...
I said a treadmill
Um I won't be asking for anything, should DH magically decide to get me something I'll accept what he gives.
And really it's a month after mother's day (which I know he's planning to get me something, again which I have no asked for) AND we'll have a brand new, healthy (God willing) baby....I don't need anything else.

This sounds really simple, but I would really love a big bouquet of pink flowers.
Since we dont have any family where we live, I'm sure we wont be getting any from other people at the hospital. Nor will we have any visitors until about a month after she is born.
(There is also a flower stand on the corner by our apartment and they are super cheap, so this makes this REALLY easy for him.)
haha!!! Love this!
