Push Present

kdsmith43 · May 2013

Did you DH/SO get you a push present? If so, what'd you get?

kdsmith43 · May 2013

DH bought me a pair of gorgeous Mikimoto pearl earrings. I was so surprised!

melody921 · May 2013

When DS was born, DH gave me a pair of amethyst earrings (DS's birthstone). I was shocked and actually said, "the baby is the present!" They're gorgeous though, and every time I wear them, I think of the day we became a family.

Hyaline · May 2013

Nope. I didn't expect anything. About a month before my due date, I bought myself a pair of pearl earrings I'd been eyeing, though. I called it a present to myself.

I'm not sure that DH would know what I was talking about if I mentioned a push present.

This.

I got earrings for Christmas, when E was three months old, but that doesn't really count.

My SIL told DH that he "had" to get me something. He chose this necklace with DS's name, birthdate, and birthstone:

I got my son. DH and I actually laughed about how some women expect this.

I never got to push and still got a baby!

Yes, posh mommy jewelry. I know.

They have a sterling silver version too, which is a good deal (IMO) at $80.

Nope. I do think it is sweet anytime a husband gets an unexpected gift for his wife. I only side eye those that demand a present.

I hate when people act holier than thou about these.

I got a necklace both times. The second time it was waiting for me when I got home. H ordered it the night she was born and had it sent FedEx overnight b/c we didn't know her name until she was born.

I agree with hmp!

That is very sweet!

I didn't ask for anything, and I certainly didn't "demand" him to get me something. Somene suggested to him privately that he get me a gift, and he took it upon himself to choose something he thought I would like. Shortly after he gave it to me, LO was rushed to the NICU where he stayed for 8 days - so I totally forgot about them for a while. It's nice to have something to remind me (about the good part) of our special day that we brought our precious bundle of joy into this world.

Nope

For my birthday in Dec, I got a birthday/push present of sapphire earrings and matching necklace. I think I only got it cause I said that for my birthday/christmas, I'd like some jewelry that reminded me of DD. Well, SO left it too late, didn't realize how expensive sapphires are, but bought them anyway and said it was for two events to make himself feel better about the price

Pokedot · May 2013

I wouldn't call it a push present by any means but DH got me a beautiful swarovski crystal necklace with DS's birthstone coming off of it. He had DS's initials engraved on it and his birthdate after we had him since we were team green. I was so surprised I love it! Our anniversary is 4 days after DS was born so it was a 2 for 1 gift but my real gift was my baby! ;P

YES! I asked for studs for Xmas to go with my necklace and had no idea how $$$ they are. DH said he found a really, really good deal so he was able to get them, but I felt bad asking for them in retrospect because I didn't realize the expense.

BeebopandBuddy · May 2013

Yes, I got a diamond tennis bracelet for DD and a pretty engraved necklace for DS. I had to thoroughly explain the whole Push Present concept to him though. He was highly skeptical but eventually, he admitted that it was warranted Wink

MommaP12 · May 2013

no and I never wanted one because I think they're ridiculous and with a new baby the money is put to use better elsewhere.

linzeek44 · May 2013

I got an edible arrangement since my favorite food (besides bacon) is chocolate covered fruit. He got one for our engagement, so it was sweet that he got one for the baby too.

I certainly didn't ask for anything, and I don't think he would consider it a "push present."

He also knows me well enough that if he went and spent a ton of money on a present, I'd be a little miffed. I'm frugal.

ellebee2 · May 2013

I sure did.

DH got me a Tiffany Key necklace with a pink stone the weekend of my shower (we had a shower for DD when she was 5 weeks old):

I got something similar. One big circle had his name. Smaller circle on top had little baby feet with his birthday and then a dangling stone which is his birthstone. I also got a watch I wanted.

He had my favorite flowers at the house waiting for when I got home. His mom also came over and did a quick cleaning. I got a baby as well. But it was sweet of him to think of getting me flowers.

beckcour · May 2013

DH bought me a bracelet with a few charms on it. One said "mom" and I got a baby charm. Totally unexpected and I was very touched.

A big italian sub!!!

L8kissie · May 2013

Nope. I was hoping for a good mother's day present and I got a video game collection of old games we'd played together. I like the series, but I have to admit to being disappointed. I realize the baby is a gift, but I think I get a prize for carrying her. Those that judge, are right to do so, but I'm still sad that he didn't think that I'd done something worthy of a gift.
