As a daddy, you\u2019ll never <em>really<\/em> know just how tough and exhilarating it can be; I probably don\u2019t have to tell you, but your lady is a super woman\u2014not only because she will push through the pain of labor with grace, but also because she will give herself continuously\u2014and unconditionally\u2014to your newborn babe without asking for anything in return.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I absolutely love the idea of \u201cpush presents,\u201d as they\u2019re sometimes called. They offer daddies a chance to recognize and appreciate the incredible feat that is pregnancy and birth by giving a memorable thank you gift. Doing something thoughtful for your partner postpartum is a sweet way to say thank you for all that she\u2019s given you. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I truly believe that every new mama should be shown how much she\u2019s appreciated\u2014isn\u2019t that right, daddies? So, here are some ideas for sweet new mom gifts from dad, with love.<\/p>\n<h4>Affordable Keepsake New Mom Gifts From Dad<\/h4>\n<p>My friend Derek gave his beautiful wife Kara the sweetest keepsake after she gave birth to their baby, Zac. Being the talented poet that he is, Derek wrote a moving poem for Kara and had it printed on a photo of Zac\u2019s first ultrasound, then framed. It hangs on their bedroom wall so she\u2019s constantly reminded of how grateful he is to her and how much he values her as the mother of his child.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8294\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8294\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8294\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1184789384_otw2-min-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"keepsake for new mom\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1184789384_otw2-min-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1184789384_otw2-min-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1184789384_otw2-min-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1184789384_otw2-min-406x270.jpg 406w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1184789384_otw2-min.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8294\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A wearable keepsake | Image courtesy Etsy seller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/ca\/listing\/526111369\/birthstone-family-necklace-birthstone?ref=additional_listings_5&amp;source=aw&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;awc=6220_1502299592_e30120a46692b04549ce25f2bb35ddf7&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SweetDalda<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Derek\u2019s innovative gift proves that keepsake gifts don\u2019t have to be expensive to be meaningful.

Instead of choosing something generic, make it extra special by having it personalized with baby\u2019s details. Have a necklace or bracelet engraved with the date your little one was born, pick out a pretty birthstone charm to represent their birth month, or choose a pendant with their name on it. Every time she wears this special piece, she\u2019ll be reminded of her sweet little one and the special day she gave birth. Of course, you may have to wait until the baby comes to engrave the specifics. In this case, bring her a gorgeous DIY flower arrangement in the hospital with a card explaining her gift is on its way. &nbsp;\n<figure id=\"attachment_8290\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8290\" style=\"width: 332px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8290\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.999908059_6cgn-min-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"artful gift from dad to mom\" width=\"332\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.999908059_6cgn-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.999908059_6cgn-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.999908059_6cgn-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.999908059_6cgn-min-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.999908059_6cgn-min.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8290\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The anatomy of a mother\u2019s heart | Image courtesy Etsy seller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/ca\/listing\/288817423\/mothers-heart-silkscreen-print-heart-mom?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=mom%20anatomy%20print&amp;ref=sr_gallery_1&amp;source=aw&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;awc=6220_1502299574_4bf622cad36c72dab13e2aa37245defe&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moonandsparrow<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<li><strong>A beautiful print:<\/strong> My mom has an adorable cross stitched wall hanging with a poem for new mothers that was given to her as a gift when she gave birth to me. To this day she keeps it in a frame on her bedside table to remind her of the day I was born. While cross stitching and poetry may not be your thing, how about finding a cute silkscreen print that celebrates new mamas? Pop it in a pretty frame and write a personalized note on the back. Put it beside her hospital bed to brighten up her room while she recovers. Who knows, it might live on her bedside table once your new family comes home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A \u201cMama\u2019s Journey\u201d photo collage:<\/strong> If you feel like getting a bit crafty, this idea is for you. Gather and print a bunch of photos of the new mama during her pregnancy, as well as any ultrasound pics that you may have. Pop them into a multi-photo frame, making sure to leave one empty for the picture you take of her and baby right after the birth. She\u2019ll love having a visual reminder of her journey with your new little one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What\u2019s great about each of these gifts is that they not only serve as tokens of your gratitude, but they truly celebrate the new mama. And, she\u2019ll be able to enjoy and cherish them from the time she gives birth to long after the little one has grown.<\/p>\n<h4>DIY Practical Pampering New Mom Gift Baskets From Dad<\/h4>\n<p>Every new mom deserves some pampering, so putting together a gift basket of postpartum essentials\u2014plus a few indulgent goodies\u2014will make the after birth experience extra memorable. Find a big, beautiful basket, some pretty ribbon, and fill it up! Either bring it to her in the hospital or surprise her with it when she gets home.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8295\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8295\" style=\"width: 324px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8295\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1195350073_56fr-min-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"keepsake push present from dad\" width=\"324\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1195350073_56fr-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1195350073_56fr-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1195350073_56fr-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1195350073_56fr-min-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1195350073_56fr-min.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8295\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mug to hold the warmth of your love | Image courtesy Etsy seller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/ca\/listing\/514028007\/new-mom-coffee-mug-baby-shower-gift-new?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=new%20mom%20coffee%20mug&amp;ref=sr_gallery_1&amp;source=aw&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;awc=6220_1502299560_ba43fcf48ee344cc713b9eb9214282f7&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheGiftableGoodies<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here are some ideas for what to include in the new mama\u2019s practical pampering gift basket:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Sitz bath<\/b> to decrease cramping and ease postpartum discomfort<\/li>\n<li><b>Scented candles to make bath time luxurious<\/b><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/264376145\/flax-heating-pad-microwavablethe-flax?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=microwavable+magic+bag&amp;ref=sr_gallery-1-24&amp;organic_search_click=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Microwavable magic bag<\/b><\/a> to soothe sore muscles<\/li>\n<li><b>Comfy slippers <\/b>to wear around the house during those sleepy days at home after baby comes<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/673157779\/mom-sleep-shirt-mama-shirt-pregnancy?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=pajamas+for+mom&amp;ref=sc_gallery-1-1&amp;plkey=410249c6ff97b2836aee59eba79e0483967e1ba7%3A673157779&amp;col=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Plush jammies<\/b><\/a> to wear as she catches up on some Zzzzz\u2019s<\/li>\n<li><b>Healthy snacks<\/b> to fuel her tired body (think nuts, seeds, power bars, and healthy cookies)<\/li>\n<li><b>A new mama coffee mug <\/b>for soothing herbal teas and copious amounts of coffee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember to include a card with a heartfelt, handwritten note from you that lets her know you\u2019ll do anything you can to make sure she\u2019s comfy and well looked after postpartum.<\/p>\n<h4>Non-material Gifts from Dad to Help a New Mama Out<\/h4>\n<p>New daddies be warned!

What\u2019s most important is that you show her your gratitude for all that she\u2019s gone through to bring your little one into this world\u2014and all that she will do in the years to come. Remember, the most meaningful gift you can give her for the best after birth experience is your time, your presence, and your support as a new dad.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Make your lovely lady\u2019s after birth experience extra special with a sweet new mom gift exchange her friends and family can participate in, inspired by <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/\"><b><i>Elfster<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>!
