Push present for dads?!

CamrynnsMommy · April 2014

I considered getting my H something, but it's likely that by the time I actually have the baby Father's Day will end up being a week or two away, so I'll probably just save it for then instead.

My husband has been an absolute angel throughout this whole pregnancy, but there is no way I am getting him a push present.

I am due May 21st, my bday is the 20th, our anniversary is June 3rd and the fact that he is getting a Father's Day and I'm most likely not getting a mothers day is reason enough for me. I don't plan for him to give me a push present either. He will probably just give me a combo gift for all if those events in one.

Go for it if you want to get him one.

I kind of lied a little in my post above. I did plan to load money on our starbucks card since we have a starbucks in our hospital. This is something I would probably want to do anyway, but not a push present.

I am putting together a little basket of Daddy items, but it is not a push present. Just to make him feel more involved and appreciated for taking care of me. It is nothing crazy, just a baby manual, a onesie that says Daddy's drinking buddy, a cute shirt for him, and diaper changing tools. I think the gift is more for me to get him ready.

I'm all for giving gifts but not for shit he should be doing already...he's being amazing because I married an amazing man. I don't feel like a gift is necessary when he's just doing what a supportive husband is supposed to do.
I'm just curious how he acts when you ARENT pregnant.

You seem like a sweet lady, but I have a hard enough time figuring out what to get people I know. My particular husband has told me straight out he mostly doesn't like getting presents, and would prefer our money be saved instead of spent on gifts, so usually when I get the impulse to get him something because he's a good man, I tell him I wanted to get him a present but didn't and he appreciates the restraint. (We might be kind of strange, but it works for us.)

Good luck figuring out a present.

Um, are you my sister-wife @sisterjanet? I think we're married to the same man.

I'd totally marry whoever this dude is to be sister wives with you two.

We're not gift givers either but now that I think about it, he might appreciate a nice bottle of scotch.

That said, he'll probably buy one for himself on the way home from the hospital.

I plan on buying one for myself on the way home from the hospital.

He's been very supportive and helpful and thought it'd be nice to get him somthing even tho carrying around this baby and giving him a son seems good enough.... I like to spoil him anyway. I got him a bucket with tissues ( he's a cry baby In disguise) wasabi peas. Swedish fish. chips. mixed nuts. and bib that says I love daddy a couple hunting magazines and a fishing one too plus a sappy card about how awsome a dad he'll be... he'll love it

I think push present is not the word for it, but I will get something to commemorate the day. He has gone absolutely above and beyond for me this pregnancy...but that is only because I have had migraines, hospital stays, and tons of health issues...

I like the Daddy Diaper bag with all the trimmings idea. Or the scotch....

I think it's sweet to want to do something to thank your DH. Just don't call it a 'push present' I guess! Love the daddy diaper bag idea stuffed with snacks, a daddy manual and funny onsie. A think a heartfelt card/note would go a long way too. If it's your/his first I think it's nice to remind him how much it's meant to have his support and to tell him that you know he'll be an amazing father. It's a big deal for dads too!

I'm not getting him a push present, but I did already get him a backpack diaper bag with his own little stuff to always have in there. This way, we don't transfer everything from one diaper bag to the other every time.

I'm not doing a present as such for him... But I had planned on putting snacks and some change in my hospital bag for him. Magazines are a great idea! I'll pick some up to throw in the next time I'm at the mall.
