Push Presents?

NEW YORK (AP) -- Rachel Zoe has a beautiful baby boy. To celebrate, husband Rodger Berman gave her a "push present" in the form of a 10-carat diamond ring that cost $250,000.

Mariah Carey got a push present, too - a $12,000 pink diamond and sapphire necklace from husband Nick Cannon with the names of their twins, Moroccan and Monroe. Peggy Tanous of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" turned her mega-mommy gift into a tagline:

"Soccer moms drive a minivan, but this girl drives a Bentley."

Back here on earth, where the rest of us live and spend, can new dads get away with a simple bouquet of flowers, a token bauble with the new arrival's birthstone or - as one father suggested - a kiss and a smile? And what do feminists make of the arguably medieval notion of rewarding a woman for producing an heir?

How do you feel about push presents?
