Nothing is more precious than your new bundle of joy but gifts are always welcome! Here are push present ideas for mamas in Hong Kong.
Women are amazing. They grow a whole new human in nine months and then squeeze the little beings into the world – either through the sunroof (a c-section), or in a way that’s similar to pushing a watermelon through a drinking straw. No matter how your little love bug comes out, one thing is for sure: mamas rock! That’s not to say that it’s a walk in the park for the devoted other halves, supporting their women patiently while holding their hand and trying to keep everyone calm. Though, when a woman goes through such a life-changing experience, a little push present from her significant other to say “well done you!” might go a very long way. Here are some suggestions to point you in the right direction.

Fancy Jewellery
Welcoming a little one into the world is an unforgettable experience like no other. What better way to mark this occasion than by owning a diamond? After all the sleepless nights and countless diaper changes, a little sparkle is just what every new mama deserves! A local favourite, Chow Sang Sang has a keen understanding of what resonates with the people of Hong Kong. Its collection features everything from sought-after styles under $2,000 to luxurious pieces at the high end of the market. For something anyone would be proud to wear minus the guilt, Rockrush’s personalised lab-grown diamonds are the way to go. They are chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds but at a fraction of the price.

New Nightclothes
As most new mamas can attest, there will be a fair amount of time spent in PJs in the weeks following the baby’s birth. Make getting up in the middle of the night a little more bearable by dressing in some new nightclothes. Comfort levels can still be maintained while dealing with 3am feeds, just slightly jazzed up for mama’s feel-good factor. Opt for a comfortable fabric that can be washed time and time again like this Floral Pyjama Set from Olivia von Halle, or this Lace Nightgown from Natori. For nursing mamas, this Maternity Pajamas & Baby Gown Set offers both style and practicality, making bedtime a breeze while keeping the little one snug.

Engraved Jewellery
Engrave the details of your little one’s entrance into the world, be that the date and time of birth, geographical location or your new arrival’s initials, in a memento that mama can wear day after day. This Keepsake Locket from the Hatton Jewellery Institute here in Hong Kong doubles up as you can also insert a cute picture. The personalised bracelets, pendants and rings at Monica Vinader allow for a name, message or hand-drawn doodle to be added. Or Aliya Fine Jewellery can work on a bespoke push present piece. And though you might not be thinking about a baby brother or sister just yet (!), consider looking for options that might allow for additional details to be added at a later date.
We also love this build-your-own bracelet from Annoushka, with a wide array of personal talismans to choose from. Start by picking from a selection of gold bracelets and chains, then choosing your charms to represent your life’s milestones (in this case, your birthing journey!). You can even choose the initial of your child for the pendant.
Although not a personalised piece, this maternity necklace from Ilado is a lovely idea to gift before baby makes their way into the world. The pendant, which hangs perfectly over the growing bump, has a soft and soothing chime noise that baby-to-be will become accustomed to, helping them to feel comforted by the familiar noise when on the outside.
Personalised Star Map
While you might remember the place of your baby’s birth quite clearly, why not also immortalise the exact formation of the night sky the moment your planets aligned. Create a personalised star map, from The Night Sky, that shows the alignment of the stars on the date and location of when your mini me burst into this world. You can also add a personal message to mama as well.
A Tattoo
If you want a daily reminder of your beautiful little being, pull out the big guns and get inked! You don’t have to go too big (unless you want to of course), but perhaps a discreet symbol, your little one’s initials, or the date and time of birth. Maybe even the geographical co-ordinates in Morse code? Resembling an art gallery rather than a tattoo parlour, Star Crossed Tattoo on Sun Street, Wan Chai, comes recommended, but there are plenty of reputable options in the city as mentioned in this guide on our sister site, Sassy Hong Kong.
Breast Milk Jewellery
Yep – you read that correctly! What better way to immortalise this special time in a mama’s life than with the life-giving liquid itself? There are several online options for this, though shop local with Jewcells Jewellery, founded by Hong Kong mama Cynthia Lui. On graduating in Jewellery and metalwork from Sheffield Halama university in the UK, she came to Hong Kong with the aim of making jewellery that tells a story. Following the birth of her daughter in 2018, she was inspired to take that one step further and breast milk gems came to life. You can either order online and send your milk to the team, or try your hand at making rings, pendants and bracelets in the Breast Milk Gem Workshop; you can even get matching mini and me sets for mum and the little one.

A Nice Diaper Backpack
Mama will need to put more than just her phone, wallet and keys in her handbag from now on (think bottles, teething toys, nappies…the list is endless!). Treat her to a stylish diaper bag that looks like a regular backpack, like this diaper bag by Freshly Picked, or a regular on-trend backpack (like this all-black bag) that has enough pockets to hold all the essentials. Because honestly, if we’re going to be carting around diapers, it might as well be in style!
A Fancy Handbag
After months of diaper duty and midnight feedings, rejoining society to meet up with friends feels like stepping into a whole new world! And we know too well about the guilt the comes creeping in just at the thought of leaving the baby for an hour or two of me time. So, to inspire new mamas to get some fresh air, a chic handbag is not only an accessory, but also a little reminder that they deserve to shine outside of motherhood! Aupen’s Nirvana Buckle Bag is made from calfskin leather with gold-tone metal, perfect for holding keys and other small, non-diaper essentials. Stylish mamas will also love The Horse’s Clementine bag made in soft-textured leather, giving it just the right form. Oh, and it goes well with the Pantone color of 2025!

Birthstone Jewellery
How about a birthstone necklace with mama and baby’s stones attached? Shop yellow, white or rose gold necklaces from Natasha Schweitzer, an Australian-based jeweller who ships to Hong Kong. Or take a look at these charming birthstones that come in various sizes.
Other Push Presents for Mamas in Hong Kong
Splashing out on a push present that’ll bring a smile to her face when stepping out with baby in tow, like this bandeau in fuchsia and coral silk twill from Cartier or these Alexander Wang slide sandals. And as mama’s time in the morning will be dramatically reduced, anything that’ll speed up the getting-ready process is always welcome! Like a Dyson Supersonic hairdryer that’ll have her hair dry and fabulous faster than you can say “the baby needs another diaper change” or this Nespresso Black Coffee Machine for that all-nighter.
Cute matching mama and me T-shirt sets are great for family photos and go well with these “If you can read this, bring my mum a coffee” socks; practical and adorable! Or get creative with a homemade voucher (complete with baby’s hand print) for a romantic dinner, spa day or mini staycation!
And don’t worry if there’s too much going on to organise something in time for the birth or just after; push presents after one, five or even seven years will mean just as much!
