What is a push present?

A push present, sometimes also called a "push gift," is a gift that the partner gives to the new mom after the birth. It’s a gesture of appreciation for the pregnancy and the birth itself. Unlike traditional baby gifts, a push present isn’t intended for the baby, but exclusively for the mom. It’s meant to show how much her strength and perseverance mean.

Where does the tradition of push presents come from?

Push presents have long been a well-established tradition, especially in English-speaking countries. In the U.S. and the U.K., this maternity gift is simply part of the tradition for many couples. Celebrities and the royal family have also helped popularize the tradition. Time and again, celebrities share stories about the piece of jewelry they received from their partner after the birth of their child. The trend has now taken hold in Germany as well, and more and more couples are opting for a meaningful gift after the birth.

Why Jewelry Is the Perfect Push Present.

Jewelry is one of the most popular gift ideas for a push present—and for good reason. A piece of jewelry is precious, timeless, and can symbolize this special moment forever. Unlike practical gifts, jewelry remains a keepsake that the new mom can wear every day. Many pieces of jewelry can also be personalized—for example, with the baby’s birth date, initials, or birthstone. This turns a beautiful gift into a truly personal one.

The Most Popular Jewelry Ideas

The Ring as a Symbol of Love

A ring is one of the most classic gift ideas for a birth gift. Whether it’s a sparkling diamond ring, a romantic eternity ring, or a simple ring made of 925 sterling silver, 14k or 18k gold, a ring symbolizes the new bond as a family. Our promise rings also make excellent thank-you gifts. Moreover, they represent a promise: a promise to stay together forever. Some couples also choose a ring featuring their child’s birthstone—a particularly personal gesture. A ring can be beautifully personalized with an engraving. The child’s name, initials, or date of birth are popular choices for this.

About the Promise Rings

Chains and Necklaces with Meaning

A necklace or chain with a pendant is another popular gift to celebrate the birth of a child. Necklaces with letter pendants or charms featuring the child’s initials are especially popular. Necklaces with small charms that can be added to over time are also a lovely keepsake to commemorate the birth of a child. Many couples also choose a necklace featuring the child’s zodiac sign.

About the Chains

Bracelet and Earrings

A bracelet with prong-set diamonds is a delicate yet meaningful gift. Tennis bracelets are always a great choice for this.

Our bangles are also beautiful eye-catchers. They’re available in a wide variety of styles, with or without diamonds.

A pair of earrings can also make a wonderful push present, especially if they’re understated and suitable for everyday wear. 

Bracelets as Gifts

Personalized Gifts

Personalized gifts are especially popular at Push Presents. Whether it’s an engraving, the birthstone for the month of birth, or a piece of jewelry featuring initials, custom-made jewelry makes every gift unique. During a consultation or a visit to our store, we’ll be happy to help you find the perfect gift.

More Baby Gifts

In addition to jewelry gifts, there are, of course, other ideas for gifts you can give the new mom. A spa day, where she can pamper herself after giving birth, is always a hit. Practical gifts, such as a nice bathrobe or a gift certificate for a photo shoot with the newborn, are also popular. If a baby party or baby shower was already planned, you can also present the push present as a personal gesture on a small scale, without any big celebration.

Conclusion

A push present is a wonderful way to thank your partner after the birth of your child. Jewelry is especially well-suited for this, because it’s precious, personal, and will remain a keepsake forever. Whether it’s a ring, necklace, bracelet, or earrings, what matters most is that the gift comes from the heart and commemorates this special moment for your little family.
