Mommywood Hot Moms Club guide to celebrity babies
When push
comes to love
Calling all dads! Honor mom the
Hollywood way with a sparkling
little something made just for her
As if coming home with a healthy baby isn’t enough of a gift, “push
presents,” are all the rage in Hollywood these days. Marc Anthony
is said to have given Jennifer Lopez an 8-carat canary diamond ring
after the birth of their twins; and Tom Cruise gave Katie Holmes a
pair of pink and white diamond earrings when Suri was born.
Now before you start rolling your eyes, there is actually something very sweet behind all this over-the-top bling. Having a
sentimental gift or piece of jewelry to commemorate the birth of
your baby is a lovely idea—and well deserved after 40 weeks of
pregnancy and all those hours of labor! Although some celebrity
couples take push presents to the extreme, yours doesn’t have to
break the bank. But it should be something personal that you will
cherish and keep to remind you of the birth.
If your guy isn’t likely to think of this on his own—and most
won’t—it might be time to start dropping hints to his sister, or
mention that your friend so-and-so recently got the most adorable
fill-in-the-blank-here after she gave birth. And if this page happens
to coincidentally fall out of the magazine and land in his briefcase
or stuck in the pages of his Sports Illustrated...well...
Some ideal gifts? Charm bracelets to which you can add a new
charm with each new addition to the family; or a necklace with a
combination of yours and the baby’s birthstones; or a dog tag in
silver or gold engraved with the baby’s name and birthday. Fortunately there are so many companies out there that offer a variety of
styles in every price range.
