What gift do I get my wife when she gives birth to our first child?
I've been told to bring my wife a gift in the hospital when she gives birth to our first child. I want to get her the right gift to thank for carrying our child. Does anyone have any input on an appropriate gift? Thanks in advance.

I agree, wholeheartedly. However, I will say, the savings bonds I whined about at every birthday (until my 16th) paid for my college..........

As an insurance agent I would second getting life insurance.
As a husband I wouldn't suggest that being the only thing you got her.

Are lump-sum premium policies even available?
Of course everyone should rethink their insurance needs when there's an additional dependent, but additional continuing expenses, such as insurance premiums, should be discussed between a couple, not be gifts. If it's $10/month, OK, I guess, but if we're looking at life insurance for more than symbolic purposes, that's not a gift, that's a sizable continuing expense.

Most new born or child life policies are only going to be for $15 - 20k and cost less than $30/mo in most instances. So not going to cash strap you by any means, or at least I would hope not. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to get life insurance as a supplemental gift. Get her a ring or something nice and then talk about getting the insurance together.

Where are you from Thaddeus if you don't mind me asking. I had never heard of the "push present" or the new mother gift until some friends that moved from Kentucky mentioned it. Now everyone in our group is required to get a "push present" or you look like the unappreciative and uncaring male asshole of our group of friends.

A good heartfelt "fuck that" works wonders on expectations of future performance.
