I think that the “offensiveness” of a push present is in the eye of the beholder. If a husband feels “extorted,” then he is. If he feels good about marking the special occasion with a gift to his wife, then it’s a part of their celebration and should not be belittled by any “holier than thou” types. If the wife demands a present and the husband feels extorted by such a demand, then the problem with their family isn’t merely a “push present.”
