Push gifts are generally gifts given to a new mom from the husband or significant other. These are gifts to say thank you for pushing the baby out. I first heard about a push gift after my son was born last summer. I love the idea of a push gift and thought it would be nice to have a push gift idea for friends.
Jewelry is the general gift for a push gift but I like to think outside the box for a friend. Here are nine push gift ideas that I think are great for a friend who has just had a baby:
- Magazine Subscription (there are so many for new parents out there)
- Babysitting Coupons
- Food Delivery and/or Grocery Delivery
- DulcoEase® Pink™ (trust me, she’ll need it)
- Teething jewelry (you can find cute items to wear and use for your little one’s new teeth)
- Soft pajamas and robe
- Spa gift certificate
- Housecleaning gift certificate
- Sleep machine
What do you think would have made a great push gift after you had your children?
DulcoEase® Pink™ Stool Softener is a stimulant-free laxative containing the #1 OB/GYN recommended stool softener ingredient. Stimulant-free constipation relief The #1 OB/GYN recommended stool softener ingredient. If you’re pregnant or breast feeding, ask your doctor if you should think Pink.
Every new mother’s toolkit should include DulcoEase® Pink™, the #1 OB/GYN recommended ingredient* for going #2. So if you are pregnant or breast feeding, ask your doctor if you should think Pink.

those little scratch mittens, and some balm and pads for “leaking”
LaVonne says
Breast pads for sure! That is a great idea 🙂

I wouldn’t have thought to put a stool softener in a Push gift kit, but it does sound like a very reasonable idea!
LaVonne says
I could have used this after my second baby for sure 😉
amber whitehead says

I think a housecleaning certificate would be divine! I had never heard of a push gift before…might have to look into this, lol
LaVonne says
I could use a housecleaning certificate now 😉
Ronni Keller says
Who even knew there was such a thing as a ‘push gift’!!
LaVonne says
Right!?! But I love this idea. Labor with #2 was pretty hard. I could have used an awesome push gift 🙂
Holly @ Woman Tribune says
I never heard of a push gift before, but this is very apt timing as my sister just gave birth to her first child. Great suggestions!
mel says

Laura says
It is a sad truth, but this is a must for any mom getting ready to have a baby! no one tells you that you are going to need it, but oh man do you need it!
Loreina says
I’ve never heard of a “push” gift. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I think I would have rather had a gift for being a new mommy but not necessarily call it a push gift. Pushing was something I wanted to forget about lol!
Amanda says
Totally a need and most new Mamas don’t know just how much they will NEED it!
