They have these figures at Hallmark Demdadco Willow Tree... my husband got me one for mother's day when I was pregnant- it is of this lady who is pregnant and holding her belly- very sweet.(She's called Cherish) Then they have others- Mom holding new baby, Mom and Dad holding each other, Mom, Dad and baby together... they are beautiful. We have a nice collection going. It melted my heart when he got me the first- the pregnant one. :)
congrats on your new baby!

I know one person who got his wife a mink for one kid and a diamond tennis bracelet for the second one. My husband got me a $500 gift certificate to a spa, which I loved. (I didn't want him to go overboard because I quit my job after having the baby and was thrilled enough that I could do that.) By the way, I never heard the term "push present" and think it is actually kind of gross. It's not just the pushing - she carried the baby for 9 months and went through all kinds of physical trauma, not to mention she is now the mother of your child and always will be, even if she doesn't remain your wife. The present is out of respect for that status, not just an incentive to "push". By the same token, by the way, I got my husband a present too - not as elaborate as his was, of course, but something to show how much I appreciated his support and to show how excited I was that he was going to be a dad. We were commemorating the new roles in our lives. Think of it that way, and maybe something heartfelt and sincere that your wife would like will come to mind.

My husband gave me flowers which was very nice. We were young and in love, so I really didn't need or expect anything else from him. He is naturally thoughtful so, his loving support and help around the house, like lifting the clothes basket, vacuuming, washing the dishes, picking up around the house, making the bed until I could, about 6 weeks. It was the little things that meant so much. And he is still that way.
We have been still married for 33 yrs! I love him more everyday.
But if she drops a hint about something, that would be the direction to go.

awwwwww How sweet is that!! I think u should get her a "pamper package". She will be so burnt out! A couple weeks after the baby is born give her a day for herself. Include maybe a massage, manicure, pedicure.....maybe a cut and color so she don't feel so "frumpy". Congrats!!!
If u want something to give her for that day maybe a cute keepsake pillow for her to hold while pushing. Or maybe u pack "the hospital bag" for her. Get her a cute designer bag and stuff it with nice pj's and a soft robe. Maybe some comfy socks. Some candies to suck on. And don't forget the neccessties like a tooth brush and paste, a hair brush and anyhting else "comforting" u can think of!

I've never heard of that. I say she'd probably rather have you do the dishes, scrub toilets, and hold the baby while she showers than any present money can buy. Or you can ask some of her friends or her mom what she would like.

A "push present"? That's a bit over the edge. Personally I think your time and devotion ought to be enough. However, if you want to buy her a gift I suggest something a bit more personal, something that may reflect any inside jokes and/or experiences the two of you may have shared.
Hope this is helpful.
P.S. Congratulations to the two of you!

How about some time off from work to help her with the baby and recovering from giving birth. That is a whole lot better than a necklace.

Depends on what kind of stuff she likes. Maybe you could get her jewelry..like a ring or maybe a ring with your babies birthstone in it.That would be cute. Also maybe you could give her a gift certificate to get a massage as I'm sure she will need it, maybe to get her hair done..or something like that. I think the ring is a good idea. I think I am gonna tell my bf that's what I want. LOL. Good luck!

Flowers are always nice! Or maybe a gift certificate for a salon she like for after the baby is born and she feels like going out in public. Please remember to but her a card too, my dh didn't and it still bugs me.

jewelry, jewelry, jewelry. Think necklace, tennis bracelet, ring with the baby's birthstone... something sappy and sweet. She'll appreciate it and you'll get brownie points for having it ready when the baby arrives!
