Traditionally, push presents involved some sort of jewelry. However, with the changing times and increasing financial hardships, jewelry is often far from anyone’s mind these days. There are always gifts that you can make yourself that are both great and won’t break the bank. The most important thing is that the gift you give has meaning attached to it. Some unique self-made push present ideas are mentioned below.
Gift Hampers
Although this gift idea requires some effort, it is a great push present because it gives a wife options. Rather than buying one gift, buy a few gifts and make a gift hamper. Not only will wives appreciate the gift, they will love that their husbands put in so much effort. Remember, you have to make the gift hamper yourself as women will be able to spot a professionally made gift hamper.
Try to include sentimental gifts in the hamper such as photos taken in the hospital like a sonogram, little family ornaments, gift cards, flowers or even family treasures.
Make Your Own Photo Album
Nothing really says sentiment like a photo album. Collect all the current photos that you have taken of your family and the newborn baby and make a photo album. It is the easiest way to reminisce about the wonderful memory of childbirth. Remember to buy a beautiful album cover to go along with the photos.
Garden
Although this may not seem like much, you can really impress women with a relaxing garden. While she is in the hospital, give your garden a huge makeover. Include items such as swings for the child(ren), a relaxing rocking chair, a small pond, beautiful lighting, etc.
This will give women a place they can go to relax and even take the baby with them. The fact that you did the entire renovation job will mean a lot more to the wife than a pair of earrings. This push present idea is expensive so make sure you implement this only if your finances allow you to do so.
Renovation
Women love sentimental gifts but after 9 months of bearing a child in her, the one thing she would love to do is just relax. Nothing says relaxation like coming home to a new room that instills relaxation. Consider renovating parts (or all) of the master bedroom. Various renovation ideas include:
- A comfortable queen bed
- A new flat-screen television
- A bigger wardrobe
- A new dressing table
- A fresh coat of paint
Jewelry
Making your own jewelry is fun and easy. Of course, it won’t be the same as a 14-carat gold necklace but it will mean twice as much because the husband made it. Try putting a locket at the end with a picture of the family in it; preferably a picture from the hospital after the baby has been born.
Truth be told, the world has fixated its eyes on jewelry as push presents. There are a lot more things you can do than buying jewelry. Making something yourself and giving it as a push present is a wonderful thing as it comes right from the heart and as such, has sentimental feelings attached.
