THERE might not be anything like giving the gift of life, but some partners are showing their post-push appreciation with big gifts.
Nicole Pollard Bayme, founder of the luxury personal shopping firm Lalaluxe, delivers some pricey push presents for celebrities, royals, athletes, and world leaders before they leave the delivery room.
If mom is going to push, dad is going to pay up.
For Pollard Bayme’s clients, a new bundle of joy can mean big bling.
“We make custom-designed pieces, up to $500,000,” Pollard Bayme told The U.S. Sun.
“We’ve created bespoke diamond necklaces and personalized charm bracelets to celebrate the new addition to the family,” she said.
And for megastar moms — or dads — a regular diaper bag isn’t going to meet their designer standards.
She said that iconic handbags, especially Hermes Birkins — which are usually priced between $15,000 to $100,000 — remain a popular push present with her clients.
When Pollard Bayme helped to curate a glam gift for a star athlete who had welcomed a baby girl, she added a special touch.
“As a nod to the team colors, we curated a bespoke Hermes Birkin, a modern take on Jane Birkin’s iconic diaper bag, alongside a custom stunning pink diamond ring tucked inside,” she said.
“It was a blend of luxury, sentiment, and personal touch that truly delighted our client,” she continued.
As mom goes through labor, Pollard Bayme is also working hard to ensure the perfect present arrives on time.
It’s a good thing she specializes in last minute luxury for when baby comes early.
“Babies have a habit of arriving on their own schedule, often surprising parents,” she said.
“As a mother myself, I always advise clients about this possibility. Despite the best-laid plans, we’re well-equipped to handle last-minute requests,” she added.
I expedited a custom-designed diamond bracelet that we had originally planned

“Our team thrives under pressure, ensuring that our clients receive their gifts promptly, even within a tight 24-hour window.”
She shared just how she works her magic to make sure mom leaves the hospital with her priceless newborn — and very pricey present.
“I had a client whose baby arrived two weeks earlier than expected,” she recalled.
“The father, wanting to ensure the perfect push present, contacted me in a bit of a panic.
“I instantly reached out to our trusted jeweler to expedite a custom-designed diamond bracelet that we had originally planned,” she added.
“We utilized our exclusive connections to prioritize the order, ensuring the piece was completed before she left the hospital.
We’ve had the pleasure of curating double sets of gifts for families welcoming twins complete with Hermes baby blankets in pink and blue.

“Our team personally delivered the gift to the hospital, beautifully wrapped and accompanied by a handwritten note, ensuring that despite the early arrival.
“The moment remained stress-free for the new parents.
“Our goal is to turn these cherished moments into lifelong memories, no matter the circumstances – as a mother myself I can tell you, in birth, nothing goes according to plan, and that is the magic of it!”
Having twins means double the fun — and the gifting, including for baby.
“Welcoming multiples is a special occasion deserving of extra celebration,” she said.
“We’ve had the pleasure of curating double sets of gifts for families welcoming twins complete with Hermes baby blankets in pink and blue with monogrammed initials.
“Each gift is thoughtfully selected to honor the unique bond shared by these little ones.”
She also doesn’t want you to leave any siblings out of the gift giving exchange.
“They are often overlooked and a gift for these children can go a long way,” she said.
They have even monogrammed luxury clothing to say “Big Sister” and “Big Brother” one the front, wrapped with a toy for the child’s specific age group.
Pollard Bayme, who also curates gifts for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, and beyond, previously spoke with the The U.S. Sun about the extreme measures she takes to protect valuable items.
She once flew a Himalayan crocodile Hermes Birkin bag covered in eight karats of diamonds on a jet with its own security detail.
“It was made from the underbelly of the crocodile and is created in a different area of the Hermes factory that never sees other dyes so nothing touches it,” she said.
She has also flown assistants across state lines when she knew FedEx wasn’t going to be able to deliver a present on time.
People also pay her for peace of mind.
Pollard Bayme works with political leaders to tap into their manifesting power for a cool $250,000.
“We pride ourselves on crafting unique and personalized gifts that resonate with our clients’ individual tastes and preferences,” she said.
“From custom-made jewelry to bespoke fashion pieces, we’ve curated a wide range of gifts tailored to each recipient’s personality and style,” she continued.
