Personally I loathe the term "push present" (and besides, what do you get if you don't push?) but can understand the concept behind it. Extravagant pieces of jewellery etc are not my cup of tea however, my DH when DS was born made the lovely gesture of going out and getting a selection of soft cheeses, smoked salmon, pate and antipasto meats which we shared together and celebrated the birth of our son. I swear a wedge of camembert has never tasted so good
