If you need help finding the perfect push present, we’ve found a great list of push gift ideas for before, during and after baby’s birth. From budget-friendly gifts to things lavish and luxurious, we’ve got the list that will make your new mom feel pampered, loved and, most importantly, appreciated. These are the best push presents.
We just had to add one really over the top push present because this one represents a renewed commitment to your relationship with the woman who is birthing your baby. Anniversary rings are gifts that remind her she’s the woman of your dreams, especially as she’s bearing the burden of pregnancy and childbirth. This ring celebrates your combined joy over expanding your family and confirms your love for your special lady.
14k gold and stunning channel set princess cut diamonds highlight the top of the band, but even the sides of this beauty are set with round cut diamonds, so it sparkles from every angle. If you’re shopping on a budget, but just love the sentiment of an anniversary ring, you can still get a 14k rose gold band set with tiny diamonds for under $130, and she’ll be every bit as thrilled.

Pregnancy changes a woman’s body. While those changes are totally worth it in exchange for a new baby, many women feel uncomfortable in their own skin right after the baby is born. Many new moms also have a hard time balancing taking care of their little one with taking care of themselves. Help her pamper her skin, and get back her pre-pregnancy body, with some luxury beauty products. We really like the CANE + AUSTIN “Retexturize” line.
The CANE + AUSTIN Retexturizing Body Pads (pictured above) can be used twice a day. They treat dry skin, as well as skin discoloration. Glycolic acid exfoliates dead skin cells, while also helping to rebuild collagen, restore firmness, and improves skin tone.
The company also makes retexturizing deep moisture facial cream. Depending on your partner’s views on beauty products and chemicals, you might want to check with her doctor to make sure all the ingredients in this line are post-baby approved. Some moms prefer to use all-natural moisturizers, such as OZ Naturals or Burt’s Bees. Her skincare needs may vary depending on her post-birthing plans, including whether she plans to nurse or bottle feed.
Doctors recommend pregnant women avoid eating raw fish, or fish that contains elevated levels of mercury, during their pregnancy. That means that many new moms are seriously craving this Japanese delight right after the baby is born. Sure, you could always grab her a gift card to a sushi restaurant, but there’s something more romantic and personal about you preparing dinner for her at home.
This home sushi kit comes with all the equipment you’ll need to make your first rolls at home, though of course you’ll want to pick up some sushi-grade fish at your local grocery store.
The kit includes enough materials to make 125 pieces of sushi, which should be more than enough for a single evening. The box contains rice vinegar, short-grain rice, nori seaweed sheets, soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger, along with a bamboo nori rolling mat and a rice paddle.
There are so many reasons to love Himalayan salt lamps. They deliver a beautiful warm glow, releasing negative ions that trap air pollutants including allergens, mold, bacteria, and electromagnetic radiation they help absorb dust and purify the air. Salt lamps are lauded as aids in curing stress and anxiety as well – both of which are part of being a new mom.
This lovely lamp is a winner for its beautiful design – no big salt chunk here. The salt is carefully carved into a delicate rose shape that’s super elegant. It sits on a wood base and features a dimmer switch so she can raise or lower the brightness to be the most relaxing to her. Of course, if she’d prefer that huge chunk of salt, this lamp is a winner, and if her decorating style is a bit more on the hipster side, this super mod block style salt lamp is cool too.
A fancy juicer is a great gift for any new mom who wants to simplify her morning breakfast routine, lose weight, and eat a more varied diet filled with healthy fruits and veggies. Breville’s patented juicing system extract more nutrients than other juicers, and creates very little heat. This helps to protect enzymes and maximize nutrient absorption. The unit is easy to clean, and powerful enough to completely pulverize large chunks of tough fruits like pineapple.

This sensual scent is designed to make a woman feel sexy, confident, and in control. Prominent notes include roses and oranges, along with a kiss of cedar, spice, and patchouli. It’s a little on the high end for some budgets, but push presents are supposed to be a little bit extravagant. If she loves perfume, but never splurges on herself, this is a lovely gift idea.
If you’ve been waiting to really splurge on something your sweetie has been wanting, now is definitely the time to do it. We asked lots of young mothers what they wanted for push presents, and not surprisingly this KitchenAid lift stand mixer keeps coming in at the top of the most requested gifts every single time, no matter the occasion.
It’s not the time to settle for the Artisan Series mixer, although you could if she doesn’t need this much power, but this mixer is a workhorse that will likely last her the next fifty years. With huge capacity, three different mixer options including a paddle, whip whisk and dough hook, plus an amazing array of attachments, this will definitely be a dream gift come true.
Jewelry with a personal touch is the ideal push present. You can select any initial based on the first letter of her first name, her last name, or even the baby’s first name. Each piece of Roberto Coin Jewelry contains a tiny hidden ruby. According to ancient myth, a ruby worn close to the skin brings the wearer health, happiness, prosperity and longevity.
After nine months without caffeine, she’s probably been dreaming about her first cup. This simple coffee maker uses Nespresso VertuoLine capsules to make gourmet coffee, without the hassle of traditional brewing methods. This simple brewing process is something she’ll really appreciate during early mornings and late night feedings. This coffee maker also includes the Aeroccino Plus milk frother, which makes her drinks that much more fancy.
Is she already really happy with her current coffee maker? Maybe a bag of special coffee would be a better choice for her. We like Death Wish, the world’s strongest coffee. You might also like some of the options we recommended in our guide to the best free trade coffee. Buy them as whole beans, and grind them at home with a burr coffee grinder for peak flavor.
Looking for a really impressive gift? These elegant earrings are made from yellow gold and sparkling diamonds. International jewelry designer Gurhan is credited with pioneering the revival of pure 24 karat gold jewelry. The company’s designs are worn by royalty and prominent celebrities, with clients including Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Queen Rania of Jordan, and Sandra Bullock.
Can’t justify dropping over two grand on a pair of earrings, but still want to get her a special push present? The same designer also makes “skittle rings” that have a similar look and feel to those earrings, but start as low as $95.
Custom jewelry doesn’t have to cost a fortune. This simple necklace can be personalized with your choice of three names and three birthstones. A similar piece we like is this custom “peas in a pod” necklace, which features Swarovski Elements glass pearls.
If she’s a serious wine lover who had to give up wine during pregnancy, then she must be eagerly awaiting the moment she can enjoy her first glass of wine. And if she stopped drinking while you guys were trying to conceive, it’s possible she hasn’t had a glass of wine in years.
After taking months or years off from drinking, she may have become a bit of a lightweight. For those who are passionate about wine, but take a long time to go through a single bottle, we recommend the Coravin wine opening system.
Coravin lets you pour a glass of wine from any bottle, without pulling the cork. A special needle punctures the cork, allowing wine to escape without causing permanent cork damage. After removing the needle, the cork essentially re-seals. This preserves wine for longer.
Argon gas, an inert gas used in the wine-making process, also helps to protect the remaining wine from oxidation. Just remind her to use proper “pump and dump” procedures if she’s planning to drink and nurse. Mommies relying on formula have less to worry about.
This dress watch for women retails for $425, so you’re saving quite a bit off the list price. Seiko is one of the most lauded of watchmakers, with top quality watches that will last her for years. If you’re looking for a gift-worthy watch for your wife or partner, this beautiful watch help her arrive on time and in style. This style is designed to be water-resistant to 50 meters (165 feet), so it’s practically baby-proof.
Pregnant women are told to avoid hot tubs, since the high temps can put the fetus in distress. After she’s given birth, however, a woman can go back to enjoying long, hot soaks, but usually only once she’s stopped spotting and any stitches are healed.
Hot tubs are a great way to bond with your partner, and relax tired, aching muscles. This particular model seats up to four people, has 12 jets, and also boasts a small waterfall effect. Want to see something that’s a bit more affordable, but still accomplishes that relaxation goal? The Intex Pure Spa 6-Person Inflatable Portable Heated Bubble Hot Tub is super popular at just a little over $400.
This stunning ring is the perfect addition to her jewelry box. It will look elegant on her right hand, and become a constant reminder of her new child, and her loving partner. It may be a little bit expensive, but it’s a price that’s well worth paying.
After all, she committed her body to growing a tiny human being for the better part of a year. That deserves a major gift. If she’s not a huge fan of amethyst, maybe a chocolate diamond ring is a better option for the mother of your child.
If you’re looking for a push present you can tickle your sweetie with, give her the gift of this book of poetry that you read to out loud. Whether you begin while she’s having contractions, or your read these poems while she’s finally relaxing with your new baby on her chest, these verses will give her a poignant look at the mess that is motherhood, and help to reassure her that she’s not alone in the days to come.
This same author has penned Confessions of a Domestic Failure, a hilarious novel that will keep every mother laughing through the hard times. Give her the gift of the time to read it, and you’ll be a hero.
Pearls signify faith, charity, innocence and intensify personal integrity. They are known to bring “loyalty to a cause.” That’s why this gorgeous sterling silver bangle bracelet is a lovely push present. The shimmery silver tips are highlighted with beautiful 8-9mm genuine freshwater pearls in creamy white. You can tell your beautiful new mother that they are emblematic if who she is and will be as a mother, and woman. This bracelet also comes with pink freshwater pearl ends if you think she might like those more.
This is so much more than a bathrobe, because this push present is made from pure cashmere, which means it’s softer and cozier than anything she’s had before. You’ll wrap her in luxury with this sweet robe and it’s a gift that makes it easy for her to nurse her new baby, which is also a plus. It’s nice and long, so she’ll stay warm as her body temperature can feel like it fluctuates after the baby is born. No surprise as she’s not carrying that extra little human inside anymore.
It comes with a tie belt, and naturally, the big comfy pockets are great for a tissue, pacifier, and whatever else she needs as she’s in recovery mode. You can also get her this cashmere robe in a shorter style if she’d prefer.
While this might seem like a funny push gift idea, these luxurious 24k gold collagen eye masks are just what every sleep deprived new mom deserves to pamper herself. These masks use actual 24k gold for its ability to reduce inflammation, expell harmful toxins and significantly hydrate your skin. It helps to reduce dark circles and puffiness from around the eyes, a constant battle for the postpartum weeks.
These cooling and comforting eye masks are also filled with collagen, the building block of new and youthful skin. The masks stimulate new collagen production, another aid in fighting bags and circles. As if the first two ingredients weren’t enough to sell you on this idea, these masks also contain hyaluronic acid which holds 1000 times its weight in moisture, so her skin will be smooth, soft and hydrated after use.
While push gifts are often on the luxurious side, even if you’re shopping on a budget you can afford a gift that looks super luxe without the high price tag. This beautiful compact mirror is the perfect example. The outside of the compact is electroplated in 24k yellow gold, and then studded with sparkling crystals and hearts. It looks like something a princess might carry in her bag to the ball, and your princess deserves nothing less.
Since your gift is all about celebrating the woman who just gave birth, why not really splurge on something she won’t likely get for herself. Most new moms are more focused on diaper bags than treating themselves to a designer purse like this beauty from Coach. Not only is it pretty and just a bit sassy, this shoulder bag has comfy handles as well as a shoulder strap, making it easy to carry if she’s also carrying the baby.
Made of genuine leather, this bag will be a gift she truly appreciates as its style is one that will look great for the long haul. Inside it’s got a roomy compartment as well as a zipper pocket for keys and that compact mirror we mentioned before. It also has a convenient flat bottom so when she sets it down at a restaurant or anywhere else, it won’t fall over and dump its contents on the floor.
If you think she’d rather carry diapers, and baby stuff in the same bag as her wallet and keys, this Coach Leather Tote is a perfect push gift idea.
After you have a baby, it’s tough to find the energy to get your pretty mojo back in motion. Your sweetie is likely to be tired, her body has changed, and perhaps because of nursing she needs something practical to wear. That’s why this sweet little dress is a perfect gift idea for her. It has a bright and pretty pattern, and features a wrap style waist, which she can adjust as she has a less swollen tummy.
The wrap front also makes nursing easy, and the big roomy kimono sleeves look super trendy and fun. The fringed bottom is clever and gives this dress that boho chic look that will make her feel super pretty and comfortable at the same time. If she’s not into that bold print, you can also get this cutie in a solid dark blue. It comes in women’s sizes from X-Small to X-Large.
A pretty print caftan is another nice idea for your lady. It disguises leftover baby bumps and unlaces for easy nursing, but it’s so pretty and feminine she’ll feel beautiful wearing it.
For a new mom, self pampering is where it’s at and this luxurious bath gift set is a great way to let her do that. You take the baby, and let her run a hot bath to soak up the warmth and emollients from one of the bath bombs in this big spa basket that also includes shower gel, bubble bath, body lotion, body cream, body spray, body scrub, a rose-shaped sponge, wooden brush with pumice, wooden massage stick, bath belt with ribbon, glass candle, gloves, bath bombs, and bath slippers.
A mother’s ring is the perfect push present because you can plan ahead to order it with stones for each child, or one with the baby’s birthstone as well as momma’s and yours. Since this ring is set in 10k gold, it’s the kind of present she’ll be proud to wear to commemorate the birth of her child. You can get it in yellow, white or rose gold as well as sterling silver, and with anywhere from one to six simulated birthstones.
This Family Tree Mother’s Ring is another pretty idea that can be customized with up to six stones of her choice. If this is your first baby, you might want to choose a special natural gemstone ring that matches the birth month of your baby. Need help choosing? Check out our recommendations for the best birthstone rings for mom.
No one really fully explains what a new mom is going to feel like during the days and weeks after her baby is born, so if you happen to be one of a pregnant woman’s more thoughtful friends, this post partum planning workbook would be an amazing gift. It helps to set in motion a solid plan for the care and feeding of the new mom, not just the baby, linking family and friends in a chain of support and love.
This innovative planner includes holistic tips for healing, practical solutions to common challenges, journal exercises, planning calendars and worksheets, a pregnancy-to-do list, a complete template for her postpartum plan and so much more.
Don’t laugh. The idea of a robot vacuum is almost universally appealing to everyone, but especially new moms. The eufy robovac is a great vacuum at a pretty reasonable price in the category. It’s come a long way since my first eufy that I received just two years ago. First and foremost, it takes the pressure of vacuuming off your new mom’s shoulders and that’s a really big deal.
Second, this little baby is super quiet, so she’s not panicking about waking the baby when she starts it. It makes no more noise than running a microwave! This little vac is adept at picking up dust, dirt and dander on hard floors and carpet, and moves seamlessly between them. It’s also Amazon Certified, which means if she’s got WiFi it works with EufyHome app, Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant voice control-services that will let her accomplish her vacuuming tasks without lifting a finger. Pretty amazing.
If you’re looking to splurge even more on a robot vacuum, we’re currently swooning over the new SharkNinja Robot Cleaning System – first because the vacuum has amazing suction and a huge dust bin that’s super easy to clean, but second, because this system comes with a super powerful cordless hand vac that sits right in the docking station. Always charged, it’s quick to whip out and clean up little messes and its push button emptying is remarkably easy.
Both before and after her baby is born, essential oils can offer aromatherapy that helps ease her stress, clear her head, relax her mind and help her to be healthier and stronger. This lovely set from Natrogix features 18 of the most popular essential oils, including Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Lavender, Lemongrass, Lemon, Moroccan Rosemary, Sweet Orange, Tea Tree, Peppermint, Turmeric Oil, Tangerine, Ylang Ylang, Basil, Cedarwood, Spearmint, Bergamot, Copaiba Balsam, Cinnamon Leaf.
Naturally, you’ll want to either get your new mama a diffuser necklace or diffuser bracelet to take advantage of this gift set, or even better, an aromatherapy diffuser that also humidifies the air which is super healthy too. Those calming scents are good for baby as well, so they make an even more thoughtful gift.
There will be lots of late and sleepless nights for new moms, so a lovely push gift for them would be this swivel rocker and recliner. It makes it easy to lay back and relax with their babe on their chest, and if they both fall asleep, all the better. She can rock and cuddle a fussy little one, and cuddle in and watch TV or read a book when they finally drift off.
The button tufted backrest is high and supports her neck, and the microfiber cover cleans up well with a warm wet rag, just in case baby spits up, and you know they will. The Naomi Home Brisbane Glider and Ottoman is another popular choice for new moms who often place these in the nursery for relaxing with their new babies. We especially like that it comes in a multitude of colors.
For the mom who knows the sex of her baby ahead of time, this lovely sterling silver necklace is a gift she’ll proudly wear for years to come. It features two intertwined infinity symbols representing neverending love between a mother and her son. It comes beautifully boxed with a sweet sentiment inside, and would be perfect for a husband or partner to give to the new mom or mom to be.
A beautiful bouquet is always appreciated for the momentous occasion of birth, but the reality is that those blossoms fade away fast. New mom’s love plants that are almost care-free and a planter of succulents totally fits the bill. This cool ceramic planter pot is unglazed so it has an earthy look that suits those cute little succulents. Order it ahead, along with an assortment of plants, and their special planting soil. You’ll create a one of a kind gift that comes from your heart and your hands. That will mean more than a flower arrangement, any day.
Let’s be honest. When you’ve got a new baby, getting a meal on the table can be a challenge because that’s the most common time for babies to be fussy. This programmable pressure cooker can be the stress alleviator every new mom needs, because it’s so flexible, and does so many things, it helps her plan meals without thinking too far in advance.
This six quart pot can pressure cook a chicken or pot roast in a fraction of the time it would take to cook on the stove. But what’s so crazy cool about this model is that it can also act as a slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, cake baker, egg cooker, saute pan, steamer, warmer, and believe it or not it can even act as a sterilizer. Make this cooker even more versatile with this 14 piece accessory set.
If you are the significant other buying this gift, you might also deliver the gift of fixing every single meal for the first few weeks post partum to give your new mother the time to rest and recover from the hard work of birth.
According to a doula friend of mine, a one year Amazon Prime membership is the best push gift around, because new moms can tap into their favorite streaming shows and movies whenever it’s convenient for them. Prime membership also gives them access to Amazon music with millions of songs and great playlists.
And of course, we can’t forget that free two-day shipping for everything they’ll be ordering on Amazon, because what new mom has time to ship gifts at the post office or with those other shippers? With Prime, they can have all their Amazon gifts delivered and, for a few bucks more, they’ll even arrive gift wrapped. Now that’s taking some weight off their shoulders, right?
New moms need lots of healthy food to build up their stamina for taking care of themselves and their new baby. This CraveBox is filled with forty healthy treats, from granola bars and fruit snacks to veggie straws and popcorn. These snacks can give her a quick pick-me-up when she doesn’t have time to make a meal, or between meals when she needs a boost. This is the perfect present from a group of girlfriends who are dying to see the new momma and her baby and need an excuse to visit.
Celebrate the new mom in your life with a "push present" or "push gift" to mark her pushing a new life into the world. Here are some awesome gift ideas that suitably honor the miracle of her.
