Recently a survey by BabyCenter.com revealed that 55% of the soon-to-be moms wanted a push present from their significant other. Also called "baby mama gift," "push gift," or "baby bauble," push presents are becoming increasingly popular. The BabyCenter.com survey also showed that 38% of new mother's had received a gift from their mate as a push present, with jewelry being the most popular new mommy present.
Dads-to-be are certainly feeling the pressure. Although most parents agree that the birth of the baby is present enough, men are increasingly aware that a special "thank-you" may be well deserved. This concept may be fueled by celebrity daddies that are presenting their baby mamas with lavish gifts.

They say Valentine's Day was invented by the card industry to sell more cards. The same is not the case for push presents and the jewelry industry.

In India, gold jewelry is given, with more elaborate baubles being given when boys are born. This push present custom has now made its way to the U.S. and shows no sign of being a passing phase.
An Allurez spokesperson recently commented on push presents, saying, "With so many of our clients requesting push presents, we have created an entire category devoted to them. Most popular gifts fall into two areas; birthstone jewelry and stackable gemstone rings that can include the birthstone of their new baby. "
