5 Things to Consider When Choosing Gifts for New Moms

The idea of a "push present" for new moms is a relatively new concept that has become very popular over the last decade or so. A new mom receives a gift to commemorate carrying a baby for nine months and then "pushing" the baby out, or delivering through C-section. While nothing is more important or wonderful than her beautiful baby, a push present is an extra congratulations for any new mother. Jewelry is the ideal gift because it can be tailored exactly to the occasion and her personal taste. A customized piece will last her a lifetime and hold incredible symbolism as it commemorates this remarkable life event.

If you're not sure where to start, here are things for you to consider when choosing significant new mom jewelry.

1. Type



Each new mom is going to have a specific preference regarding the type of jewelry, whether it's necklaces, earrings, rings, or bracelets. They might also want to ensure that their jewelry doesn't get in the way during feeding or resting time, or when their curious baby starts grabbing onto all their jewelry! A cute anklet with an engraved pendant is a lovely gift to consider. This personalized Sea Breeze Beads Bracelet/Anklet has a minimalist and effortless style. The name of their baby can be engraved on the pendant, giving it a unique personal stamp—a timeless choice indeed!

2. Style



There are many different styles of jewelry that complement a new mom: from big and flashy statement pieces to minimalist, elegant, and understated. An engraved and personalized ring is a unique way for them to greet their new arrival. The Baby Feet Ring with Inner Engraving lets mom celebrate her little one with the sweetest baby footprint and their newborn's birthstone—commemorating the new baby's birth month plus adding just the right amount of sparkle! Alternatively, their baby's name can also be engraved on the inside of the band. This extra little touch can remind a new mom that they're truly and deeply loved and that someone special is thinking of them and their precious baby.

3. Metals



Another key element to consider is what metal they would prefer the jewelry to be made of. They might like gold, but cherish silver and rose gold. You could also choose a metal that complements her skin tone, eye color, or even her personality. Gold and rose gold are lovely for warmer eyes, such as hazel and brown, while silver or white gold looks lovely with cooler tones, like blue or green eyes. Also consider the attributes of the metal like whether it will tarnish or fade. Metals that are hypoallergenic are a great idea since there's a minimal risk of causing an allergic reaction for mom or her newborn. The Small Carrie Name Necklace in Premium Silver is fun and playful, while also sophisticated in its minimalist style. Premium silver is known for its durability and malleability, serving as a timeless piece or everyday accessory.

4. Colors



If your favorite mom-to-be just loves colorful jewelry, you can personalize your gift with birthstones or different color accents! Myka's gorgeous Tropical Layered Necklace with Initials in Gold Plating is a stylish summer piece with colorful beads that are in chic contrast with a gold-plated necklace. It can be customized with up to 5 initials on triangle pendants. Necklaces with crystal birthstones make for a special piece that can serve as the perfect finishing touch for her big day bringing new life into the world.

5. Time



Push presents are usually given to new moms after the birth of their child. With baby showers, we might not have the baby's name or birthdate and would then give essential items as gifts, such as diapers, clothing, and baby care products. But you can invest more time and thought into the push present. The Initial Hearts Stackable Necklace in Sterling Silver can be a lovely commemoration of your loved one's new baby by spelling their name or a unique monogram. This necklace can feature up to 6 personalized heart pendants on a slim and elegant chain.
