When it comes to push present ideas, particularly a push present for dad, you don’t necessarily need to think big, but you do you need to think unique. Meals fade, flowers die and events pass. You want to make sure the push gift you choose is one he will always remember.
Perhaps it’s something he will look at it daily basis. Or maybe it’s something every now and then he will go to for a special occasion. Whatever you choose, it should be from the heart and distinctly for him.
Now you might be wondering, I’m doing the heavy lifting here, shouldn’t I be the one getting a gift. No one will argue with you there. However, that being said, the father of your child has been the rock, making difficult decisions in times of need and quietly going about his business to keep normalcy intact. He has supported you through your best and worst during this journey. And his best is yet to come as you raise your new son or daughter together, A push present is a kickoff to the new you. The new “us.”
Now let’s look at a few push present ideas that are perfect for your child’s father.
Watches
If this is your first child, you are both about to find out how time accelerates and compresses. Before you know it your little one will be moving past each phase…with each phase ending quicker than the last. That’s why the irony of a watch as a push present as a gift for a new father is not lost on us.
Just like his little one, it’s something he can feel proud of every time he looks at it. You want to get something that is classic. A timepiece that will last ages. You don’t have to drop $10k on a Rolex or $19 on an Armitron. There are plenty of great options in between.
Here a few watches that we like when it comes to push present ideas.
Jewelry
This category may or may not apply to your man. Items like cuff links and bracelets can be special mementos they get worn during special occasions. Or perhaps consider an alternate wedding band.
The ring he chose several years back may no longer be what he likes to wear. It doesn’t mean he loves you less, it just means he wants accessory options!
Money Clip
From the second your bundle of joy arrives you will be spending more money, guaranteed. Every time your husband reaches to pay for diapers or formula or college textbooks, he can catch a glimpse of an attractive and stylish money clip and feel a little better about your finances. Consider getting a nice clip engraved with a sentimental message. Man or woman, you can never go wrong with that blue box from Tiffany.
DSLR Camera
Oh the pictures you will take! There can never be enough. Ever, Sure his smartphone can do more than it ever could before. And you will not always want to trot around a heavy camera. However, as family investments go, a DSLR camera is one of those gifts that keeps on giving. The starting price point is lower than it ever has been before. Beginners can take advantage of all of the great automatic features available today. When the new daddy takes great photos, there is no need for expensive professional shoots. And all of those holiday cards will allow him to puff out his chest and tell the world that it was him who took the pictures! This a great resource for novice photogs.
We’ve established that time will go fast. And it was no surprise that you will spend more money. But the other unaccounted for item here is exercise. Your husband will likely be desperate to get some. Even if it’s just to run to the drugstore for the fourth time because he keeps getting the wrong cold medicine – watch how desperate he will be to move. When it comes to push present ideas, a wearable fitness tracker is something that will get used every day. It’s also something that will make him aware and keep him healthy so he is around for as long as possible. After all, there’s a new little life that is depending on him.
