Push Gifts

Push gifts are becoming more common these days then ever before! This is a gift you give your partner either shortly before or after baby is born or adopted to show your love for bringing this little life into the world! These gifts range in a variety of different prices and types, here are few suggestions to get you started!

Jewelry, you can never go wrong here! Think of sentimental pieces like something with the child's birthstone, an addition to a wedding ring, charms for a necklace, and a right hand ring are all good choices. I personally LOVE the charms and you can go as pricey as Helen Ficalora pieces or even Origami Owl has a beautiful selection! With this brand you can change out the charms & plates that appeal to all moms likes!



A vacation!! This could be a family one or a flight out of town with just the two of you. The most ideal time to do this is awhile after baby is born! I do not suggest doing this as a surprise though, new moms have major anxiety about leaving their children so this will take proper planning! You could do a weekend in the wine country in California, party time in Las Vegas, a fun tropical vacation to Belize or Turks and Caicos... or my dream would be getting swept off my feet to Paris!! If you are bringing the baby or kids you may want to rethink this and do something a little more kid friendly... however even all these places would be an option with family!

Baby Bag, moms have to really give up their favorite purse for a long while after baby comes! A nice bag to tote around can really put a smile on her face! Think fashion and function when making your selection. Petunia Pickle is my top list fav!! These bags come in all different patterns and sizes, it even includes the accessory items like wallets and iphone cases! Babystop in Scottsdale as a huge selection of Petunia Pickle bags, stop in and check them out! Skip Hop is another great brand, and very affordable. This is one that even dad would be okay hauling around! Another really great choice is the Kate Spade collection of diaper bags! Polka Dots, stripes, floral and even a solid sleek black... you cannot go wrong here!


A NEW CAR!!! We all loved to see the look of sheer delight when Bob Barker announced this prize on the Price is Right- can you imagine what your partner would say! Now this is obviously not for the budget conscious, but if you got it then go for it! Make sure you know what tickles her fancy, a Swaggin' Wagon, top of the line SUV, or go green with a Hybrid! Keep in mind she needs space in the car for strollers, car seats and cheerios so a Maserati may need to wait till the kids are older!

No matter what you have to spend, there is something out there! Nothing means more then a token of your appreciation. If you are really at a loss then ask her, or ask a friend of hers.

Happy Shopping!
