When it comes to push presents, there is no set rule or guideline for how much you should spend. It ultimately depends on your budget, personal preferences, and the significance you attach to the gift. Unlike engagement rings where there is often a suggested guideline of spending three months’ salary, push presents should not be as expensive.
The most important thing to consider is the sentiment behind the gift. It should be a meaningful gesture to celebrate the birth of your child and show appreciation for the mother’s hard work and sacrifice during pregnancy and childbirth. It’s not about the price tag but rather the thought and effort put into selecting a gift that holds sentimental value.
Some people may choose to splurge on a lavish gift, such as jewelry or a designer handbag, while others may opt for something more practical or sentimental, like a personalized piece of artwork or a heartfelt letter. It’s all about what holds significance for you and your partner.
I believe it’s important to have an open and honest conversation with your partner about expectations and budget. Discuss what would make her feel appreciated and loved, and come to a mutual understanding of what feels comfortable for both of you financially. Remember, the most important aspect of a push present is the thought and effort put into selecting it, not the price.
In my personal experience, I opted for a more sentimental and personalized push present for my wife. I knew she loved photography, so I surprised her with a professional photo shoot to capture our newborn baby’s early moments. It was a gift that held sentimental value and allowed us to create lasting memories. It didn’t break the bank, but it meant the world to her.
Ultimately, the amount you spend on a push present should be within your means and reflect the thought and love you have for your partner. It’s not about meeting a specific budget or societal expectation, but rather about showing your appreciation and celebrating this special milestone in your lives together.
