In recent months, thanks largely to the influence of Chiara Ferragni, the term push present has rightfully entered the vocabulary of women waiting. In fact, it was she who made this custom that comes from the United States known to the general public, asking her husband Fedez for a push present for the birth of Vittoria, their second child.

What is push present and who is giving it away

The term push present is made up of two English words, push, which means to push, and present, which means gift. In fact, it is nothing other than a "gift for the thrust", that is, a gift that is given to future mother or new mother on the occasion of the birth of a child. The tradition comes from the United States, where this type of gift is widespread. Sometimes it is presented to the new mother immediately after giving birth but other times, just to gratify the woman's effort, it is given before birth or even during labor.

Who gives mom the push present?

Usually he is the mum's partner, father of the unborn child, to give the push present to the mother. As in the case of Fedez, that he was unaware of this custom but that he was invited by his wife Chiara Ferragni to inquire. It is an easy way to congratulate the woman in childbirth on the gift she brings to the world.

3. A day at the SPA

So why not give them a treatment package to use when they feel ready? One of the best gifts to give to those who are behind breastfeeds, nights and labor of childbirth is to give a few hours of absolute rest (and if the mother is breastfeeding, a little expressed milk will be enough to give her the respite she deserves!).

4. A voucher to spend at your favorite shop

often new mothers they don't find time to shop. Giving them a coupon at their favorite store will encourage them to take some time and pamper themselves. Even before giving birth, the woman is often focused on what the baby needs: what if she instead thought a little about herself?

5. A subscription to a podcast or streaming service

Does the future mother read a lot? Why not give her a subscription to a podcast and audiobook service, which can be used during the endless breastfeeding sessions? If she is passionate about TV series or goes crazy for movies, the choice is between different streaming channels with a huge offer, you just have to take an interest in his tastes to choose the one (or those!) that are right for him!
