If you haven’t heard of a Push gift, some moms will get a little “thank you” gift from their hubby’s for going through all that “fun” bringing their beautiful baby into the world. If you’re lucky enough to have a husband who would do that, then maybe he needs a little help figuring out what to get you, I’ve put together a list of possible gifts, at many price points (you might want to help him stumble across this post.)
FREE – Fit Funds (You see them pop up around valentines day but it’s time to get some coupons you could really use. I’ve designed 3 coupons for the things you really want and really, you don’t need to be a new mom to take advantage of these. My advice…print them…show them to your husband and tell him thank you. 🙂
Fit Gear and Accessories – Up To $200- If you’re like me, you’re chomping at the bit to get back into a solid routine, whether that’s running or weight training or something else, some new gear will get you pumped and motivated. Here are some of my favorites:
Other Ides: Workout DVDs, Dumbbells, Kettlebell, Pedometer, Gym Bag, Water Bottle, Nuun, Workout Books, and Race Entry of her choice.
FitGear $200 and Up – Now I know the idea of getting something this expensive seems unlikely for some but if can, these are great to have as a new mom.
Getting back to working out after a baby can be really challenging but these things will make it much easier by giving her flexibility, motivation and inspiration.
Oh, and it just occurred to me, any of these would make great Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas. Either way, I’m ready to get back to working out my normal way. Are you?
Let’s get our fitmoms motivated (pass this along to their husbands) 🙂
What are your recommendations for gift ideas for new moms?
I love the coupons! I’ve mentioned a push gift to my husband. He jokingly said “well don’t I get a gift for putting up with you for 9 months?” He’s clearly not valuing his life very much, talking to a pregnant lady that way! I’m just hoping he’ll let me talk him into allowing me to take up garage space with a new treadmill in the spring.
ha! That’s what my husband said too. 🙂
Great ideas for gifts 🙂 These are all really fantastic and I think any mom or woman would love them.
Totally. I’m pretty sure any mom would love to have those coupons to redeem. 😉
I have never heard of Push gifts before, not even from my daughter in law wo is a new mom. Interesting concept.
It is interesting. Some people take it way far. I would just like to know I can go for a run and not feel guilty. That’s priceless.
I’ve heard of push gifts before, but only in terms of expensive jewellery, which isn’t really my time. I would love a fancy jogging stroller. Taking notes for baby #2 someday!
You know I’ll be asking for a double B.O.B. 🙂
I’ve never heard of push gifts either. Is it too late 2.5 years later to ask for my push gift? 😉
It’s never too late. 🙂 Go for it!
BABYSITTING!! 🙂
AMEN!!
I love your coupons! Those are something I need year round!
Totally agree! Every mom needs those. Go ahead..print them off. 😉
Love the idea of the coupons 🙂
Thanks…they are free and that makes everyone happy. 🙂
Great gift ideas!! 🙂
Thanks!!
I absolutely love the coupon ideas! Definitely bookmarking this post for future reference. 😉
Yes! bookmark away! Maybe print them and put them in your hospital bag. 🙂
My husband and I have a pre-planned agreement wherein we will both do whatever it takes to accommodate each others workouts after the baby comes. I have heard from friends who have had arguments with their spouses about working out being a priority v. a luxury that can be cut out. We just could not live without our workouts, so to us, this is like food, sleeping, going to work: it is a NEED, just as much as want.
But I do hope to get some kind of push present, just because I love presents!
LOVE that arrangement! Send the hubs this link. He’ll get the picture. 🙂
My husband gave me a BOB Duallie! It was the best push present ever! I don’t think he knew what a “push present” was. But he knew I wanted one and gave it to me before Jack was born.
I think a great gift would also be a spa package or “day away.” I know that I would love that right now.
OH MAN! That’s perfect! Love the idea of a spa package!
Such great gift ideas! I’m in love with those coupons!
Thanks! I really thing anyone can use those coupons!
Those workout dvds would be really good for a splurge this holidays!
