Due Date was today - all passed quietly, until someone asked what "push present" I got for Mrs JB.
erm. none. do I need to get one? what does one get for a push present? HELP.
I ended up buying a diamond ring! Quite some time after the event thankfully. Haven't yet received the be sworn at, blamed and threatened present yet though. Unless you count sleep deprivation, lack of time and increased grumpiness, offset by enormous enjoyment, wonderment and joy at the little buggers bring.
Wife just reminded me she hasn't had 2nd push present yet. Bollocks.
A curry… or …. 😛
Although, I'm no expert on such matters 😕
My wife bought herself a push present.........a ****ing Mulberry handbag!!!!!!!
Put a ribbon on the baby.
Still not got my engagement ti road bike frame 4 years later. Would have been cheaper than a diamond too.
Lynksey or Sabbath need to get the marketeers from de beers on board to make that a tradition really.
Never heard of this before...is this another damn American custom being adopted by sucker Brits?
(congrats on the baby, btw)
This was still open on my screen, so I looked it up...
[i]A push present (also known as a "push gift" or "baby bauble") is a gift given to a new mom when she gives birth. It can be given before or after the birth, in the delivery room or at home. The push gift has become a standard practice in the United States. The reason is twofold: Rich celebrities do it, and it gets talked about in magazines and on the internet, so naturally we common folk have to follow suit. The other reason is that Americans are greedy and dumb[/i]
I've never heard of it and I'm going to pretend I haven't seen this thread
Birthday and Christmas is enough
Mrs Removed got a nice bunch of flowers. It's worse in the photography world; engagement shoots, trash / cherish the dress sessions, cake smashes (GGGrrRrr!) etc. All stoopid US inventions which sheep-likes over here feel the need to keep up with.
A bottle of wine, a catering tub of Ben & Jerry's and a pound slab of Dairy Milk, if the new mothers I've known are anything to go by.
My Mrs got the stuff she'd not been able to have for 9 months... Basically a shed load of cheese and some booze. Oh, and Nick cave tickets though tally it was just an excuse to get those
