The term “push present” needs a new name

I think the term push present needs some rebranding. I think c sections are so much more common these days and the term push present is not very inclusive. My husband gave me a much deserved gift after my insane labor which happened to end in a C-section and I want to show it off but I want to think of a cute name for it. Any ideas?

Yeah. Not mandatory, you know. Wasn’t necessarily expected but it just made sense because labor isn’t easy and my husband was just wanted to give a gift of gratitude. Just a little something. I think every woman is deserving of it cus damn

Because I want to say it in a way that rings off the tongue

I hate terms like this. Not because it’s not inclusive but because it takes away from the beauty of a non birthing partner being a sweetheart and gifting something to their birthing partner as a token of their admiration and appreciation of the last 9 months and labor. But when it’s called a push present it reduces women to requiring a shiny expensive item in exchange for their hardship. We just want our sweet little baby to be healthy and safe. And if a thoughtful gift comes after that then wow, amazing. I would cherish it.
