"push present" for DH

I've been thinking about getting DH a small gift that I can give him at the hospital before LO arrives. Something to thank him for his support and be a keepsake of the event. I've thought about doing a watch and having it engraved afterward with the baby's name and birth date. Has anyone gotten something for their DH and have other suggestions?

  • I didn't get him anything and I think he could have cared less about it.  We were just happy to have a healthy LO (as sappy as that is, but very true).

  • I agree with Jess. DH was so caught up in the moments before and after that anything I could have given him, besides DD, wouldn't have really gotten his attention. His first fathers day he got a watch from DD with engraving though. 
  • Agree that he could have cared less about anything at that point.  All he was doing was looking, holding and touching LO and me.  But DH isn't big on gifts anyway.

  • Yes, I gave DH the gift of a refurbished vajayjay (courtesy of DD & my doctor). Stick out tongue

    No, I didn't get him anything. I'm sure it never even crossed his mind.

    Thanks for the input ladies, fathers day will be shortly after LO arrives so maybe I will hold off until then.

  • I got DH the willow tree new father figurine.  I didn't get it until after LO was born though.

  • I think it's really lovely of you to think of your H.  You really don't have to do anything, but I'd say that if you want to really highlight his support during your pregnancy, do something little for him ahead of the birth (flowers, nice dinner, whatever), because it's really about your relationship, and he'll be happy to know that his support of your experience is appreciated and fundamental.  Father's Day is about his parenting, so save the big kid-related stuff for then.

    I laughed out loud.

    I'm curious about push presents. Is this a new thing? If I had to guess I think Matt wouldn't really care about having a gift - E was in distress and things were pretty sketchy at the end so I know he was just glad his son was out and okay - but even if there hadn't been a scare he's not a huge gift person. 

    If there is something your H wants though, like a new watch or something, it might be cool to get it for him and have it engraved with LO's birthdate if you're going the keepsake route.  

  • I didn't get him anything but he got me the "Two Together" Willow Tree babies.
