28 Push Present Ideas For New Moms & Dads To Welcome Them To Parenthood

Oh, baby! Here’s the only baby book the new mom in your life needs. It’s no secret that memory books can get a bit cheesy with zoo animal illustrations and random milestones. But not this one. Artifact Uprising’s interactive photo journal flaunts a timeless design and minimalist aesthetic to help document BB’s first year. 

Cater to mom’s sweet tooth by surprising her with a box of Milk Bar’s world-famous B’Day Truffles. These tasty li’l cake balls are chock-full of funfetti flavor. Seriously, try just eating one (ahem, impossible).

Do the new mom in your life a favor by gifting her a pair of these crazy-cozy cashmere socks. From cold hospital floors in the delivery room to nippy mornings when staying in bed isn’t an option (womp, womp), these 100% cashmere socks will *spark* joy. Odds are she would never in a million years think to splurge on a pair for herself, so this REALLY is the perfect push present.

As a new mom, comfort is key. And few things are more comfortable than the cult-favorite Parachute bathrobe. Made of 100 percent Turkish cotton, it’s incredibly cozy and luxurious—and is exactly what she’ll want to wrap herself up in after putting her little one down to bed at night.

Name one person who can be sad/stressed/depressed when gifted a stunning bouquet of fresh flowers… we’ll wait. With a subscription to Bouqs, the mama in your life will get beautiful blooms delivered right to her doorstep every month, which will brighten even the toughest of days as a new parent.

Gift her a sentimental piece that she’ll want to stack with her engagement ring and wedding band. HAVERHILL’s Personalized Rosecliff Birthstone Ring is made with 14k gold and real gemstones. But here’s the cool part: You can choose which stones you want it set with, as each piece is made to order. So whether you opt for an arc of the new baby’s birthstone or different colors to represent the entire family, this is one heartfelt present she’ll cherish forever.

In case you missed it, custom letter necklaces are all the rage right now (see: Michelle Obama’s “vote” choker). And instead of her name, get her one that reads “mama.” After all, what better way to remind all of her friends and family that she’s now the boss than with a necklace that spells it out?

If you’re looking to splurge, get your new mama this diamond necklace with her baby’s initial on it. It’s subtle, dainty, and goes with literally everything, including a robe and sweats, which is probably what mom will be wearing for awhile. This will make her feel a little more glam.

The Dad Hoodie has will be the new dad’s everyday jacket! With six inside compartments and an ultra comfy feel — this is the perfect gift for a new dad or dad-to-be. One reviewer said, “Bought one for my son when he and his wife were expecting. He laughed when he received it but now that he’s using the hoodie he can’t thank me enough for buying it. He actually asked me for another one in a different color! He says that it’s not only practical but is super comfy. “

He wears a watch every day anyway—why not give him one engraved with his new baby’s name? This one from Fossil, which features an elegant timepiece and a suave leather band, can be customized with the text of your choice and will last him for plenty of years to come.

This is a perfect small gift to give to a friend who just gave birth and feels, well, worn out. She doesn’t want to put on a full face of makeup, because f*ck that. She just wants an easy, two-second swipe of color to moisturize her lips and make them shine. This 3-in-1 lip balm is buttery, plumping, and hydrating — and it allows for buildable color. It’s also made without icky ingredients like parabens or sulfates (it’s also vegan and cruelty-free!)

Another perfect gift for a friend or family member, a candle might seem a bit basic, but it’s one of the easiest ways to get yourself in relaxation mode. Although new moms won’t have many of those moments, at least when she finds 10 minutes here and there, she can light this woodsy candle and instantly feel like she’s in a cabin in the woods. We love Paddywax candles because they smell uh-mazing and last forever.
