Ask Dr. Helen: Do Husbands Owe Wives Post-Childbirth ‘Push Presents?’
Never heard of “push presents.” We’ve avoided the gift-giving scene for the 25 years we’ve been married. Other than a couple of occasions when we gave each other something for holidays through the guise of “the kids,” and an occasional surprise DVD or CD, we’ve stuck to either buying what we need directly, or shopping together and convincing the “giftee” that the purchase should be made.
Much easier and fun this way, but not as good for the revenues of retailers and the flower/card companies. Plus, if one of us ever does get the other a new car or something similar, it will really be a surprise!
