Top 5 Meaningful Gifts for the New Mom

Celebrate the experience of your newborn’s arrival with a gift for the new mom. Celebrity moms have participated in the extravagant and sensational trend of “push gifts“, yet a small and affordable present can be just as meaningful. Below are the top five examples of truly astonishing push presents along with more appropriate counterparts.

1. Jewelry

While celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Kidman were bestowed with jewelry that cost an excess of $100,000, mommies of the real world would enjoy a more toned-down version of these gifts. A small pair of earrings that baby can’t easily get his little fingers around, a beautiful ring with a non-scratchy setting or a short necklace on a sturdy chain all make memorable and practical push gifts. Ones set with new baby’s birthstone will be particularly special.

2. Handbags

After giving birth to their sons, celebrities Tori Spelling and Kristin Cavallari were both rewarded with expensive handbags. While these may look incredible on your arm, they end up looking slightly less awesome after being covered in spit-up and baby food. A more user-friendly, while still stylish diaper tote is a far more realistic option for moms who would rather spend less money on the bag and more on the things that go in them.

4. Cars

Yep, cars. While some posh websites suggest a luxury vehicle would make a great push gift, the thought of what car seats, baby food and formula would do to that high-quality interior is enough to make one shudder. A better alternative for baby-totin’ moms is a collection of car-themed gifts such as lullaby CDs, car seat toys, rearview baby mirror and snuggly animals that make driving a more relaxing experience for both mommy and baby.

5. Spa Packages

While a day at the spa can be a soothing experience under normal conditions, trying to send a new mommy to one can end up being stressful and difficult. Breastfeeding moms are on a time schedule more precise than Yellowstone’s Old Faithful and rushing through a spa treatment definitely takes the relaxation out of the day. A luxurious and quiet mani-pedi combination is a more realistic and time appropriate option that can provide the relaxation without the rush.
