Did you Receive A Push Present?

Bringing a new life into the world is a gift to both mother and father and something that can never be described or explained until it is experienced first hand.  It certainly isn’t an experience that can be compared to being gifted an expensive item of jewelry or fashion accessory… or can it?  Have you heard of a “Push Present?”

The latest celebrity trend is for fathers to present new mothers a highly expensive gift to thank them and celebrate the birth of the famous baby, it is known as a ‘push present’ and is the latest craze among new parents worldwide.  The presents go beyond the usual baby shower or arrival gifts where typical invitations encourage friends and family to ‘shower my baby’ in sentimental presents.

There is now more emphasis placed on the mother’s role during pregnancy and labor and there is a new need to offer some form of a reward for the challenges that come with bringing a baby into the world.  Celebrities, as usual, pave the way for the expensive and luxurious gifts and below are just some of the outrageously generous gifts that have been given in celebration of a celebrity baby…

The most powerful celebrity couple in the world welcomed their daughter in 2011 and named her Blue Ivy Carter.  Beyoncé is one of the biggest pop influences of her time and her hip-hop husband felt that a 10 carat blue diamond ring was the only push present fitting for the songstress.

One of the most highly profiled actors in the world, Tom was ecstatic at the birth of his first natural child and presented actress mom Katie with and 18 carat gold Cartier love bracelet at a high value.  One celebrity couple decided to change the format of push presents and the father received gifts rather than the mother, who only received a bunch of flowers rather than the usual high cost luxurious gift.
