Kristin Cavallari may have started her career in reality TV, but the starlet has recently changed gears into family and fashion, thanks to the birth of now-6-week-old son Camden Jack and her shoe collection for Chinese Laundry.

It’s no surprise, then, that when picking a push present for his fiancée, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler went with something super-stylish.

“I got a gray [Hermès] Birkin bag,” Cavallari tells PEOPLE, flashing a grin. “I was really excited about it. [Jay] did a good job.”

Now that Cavallari has become a mom, she finds it remarkable how priorities change — and not just with her new family.

“I would love to do a nursing bra and tank top line,” she reveals, changing her tune from just weeks ago. “I can never find any cute ones!” For more from Cavallari, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now. Moms, tell us: Did you receive a push present from your partner?

Push presents have been around for hundreds of years. Of course a woman realizes the ultimate gift is her child. It’s just a nice way for the father to show his appreciation for all the mom has went through to give him the gift of a child. Why does anyone get bent out of shape over it? Sounds like jealousy. My husband got me a ring with my daughter’s birthstone. I love it and wear it nearly every day. I had a very difficult pregnancy and it was his way of showing his love and appreciation (not that he doesn’t do that on a daily basis anyway).

I hope all these people criticizing the push present idea sent back all their wedding gifts, since your husband should be the real gift… sccording to your logic anyway.

It is a very lovely idea to receive a push present and by the way for the women who don’t know, a push present is for any delivery not just a vaginal birth. What I think is completely offensive and rude is anyone on here making it a crime to be appreiated! Its grotest that you are reading so much into anything. Men don’t have nautia and their guts ripped open or places cut or losing blood. Don’t put anything negative about a baby being born. Its not a requirement but a thank u, an I love u, a “you helped give me a family.” And just bc ur husband might not have done that, doesn’t mean others can’t. I haven’t yet had a baby but can’t wait to have the privilege to have a baby and if my husband chooses to, I will tell everyone how greatful I am that he would be so sensitive and sweet to do so. And don’t attack me bc I have an opinion. Its THE UNITED STATES FOR GOODNESS SAKE! Like we need more people to tell us what’s a crime just bc they want to feel powerful and tell them what they can’t have or shouldn’t have. Leave loving couples alone!

For those of us young women that can’t have children a push present is just an extra slap in the face. I’d take the baby and leave the purse….

Oh, priorities change, eh? So, she’s donating that “push present” to charity then?

“Does this baby make me look fat?”

The kid looks embarrassed, too!

Who started the “push present” fad? It had to be some millionaire celebrity. Since when does a woman have to be rewarded for birthing her baby? I had two children who I love dearly, and their births and being able to hold them in my arms after 9 long months of waiting was the greatest gift I ever received. When did that stop being enough? The “push present” fad is just a bunch of superficial B.S.

“I hope all these people criticizing the push present idea sent back all their wedding gifts, since your husband should be the real gift… sccording to your logic anyway.”

@Katie1976 – The last time I checked, wedding presents were given to the two of you for your life together, as are baby shower gifts. A “push present” is just given to the attention-seeking “mother.” How about a “squirt present” for the father, according to your own logic?

So much negativity over a nice sentiment! Sometimes it is so nice to have someone recognize the mother. During pregnancy the focus is solely on the baby, as it should be. But a push present says thank you for all that you have given; your body, your health, your dedication. My husband worked hard and bought me an iPhone as a push present so that I could take pictures, communicate and share the experience with my family, all of whom live 17 hours away and could not join me! I felt so blessed to bring my baby into this world, but after a very long and difficult pregnancy it was very nice to be thought of as well!

I pushed my kid out and was rewarded with a lovely BBQ dinner. It was quite thoughtful and I loved it so much. I think it’s crazy to give someone a gift for pushing out a baby. So if you have a c-section you get nothing? Just wondering……

Jealous much… god its a sweet idea. Get overit. Stop bit**ing about it!!!
