From pink and blue pyrotechnics to explosive smoke displays, parents-to-be have taken gender reveals to the next level in recent years.

While most will opt for a simple cake-cutting, popping a confetti-filled balloon or forgoing a gender reveal party altogether, some decide to go an alternative, oftentimes far more expensive route, and that’s exactly where this couple comes in.

5 sweet gender reveal ideas to find out if you’re having a boy or a girl

Rachel Santana, who is set to welcome her first child with her husband Austin, shared her luxury take on a classic gender reveal on social media – and to say it’s gone viral would be an understatement.

Garnering over 16 million views so far, the Miami-based mum-to-be explained that the couple got the news of their child’s gender while they were out on a shopping spree during a trip to Paris.

@xoxosantana Baby was craving a Dior bag… Thank you to Sofia at @Dior Paris Champs-Elysées 🤍 the hardest part was not opening the results ourselves but this was so worth it. 👶🏻 #dior #genderreveal #paris #diorparis #pregnant #champselysees ♬ What Dreams Are Made Of – Hilary Duff

‘Got our baby’s gender results while we were shopping in Paris, so we did it at Dior’, Rachel enthused.

Sharing a clip of herself inside the luxury designer store, the influencer picked out two beautiful customised Small Lady Dior handbags – one in a powder pink shade and the other in a pastel blue.

Explaining how they managed not to spoil the reveal, she wrote: ‘Didn’t look at the results and gave [the sales associate] my credit card’.

Complete with matching scarves as the icing on top, Rachel and Austin couldn’t wait to get back to their hotel to find out whether they were having a boy or a girl, so they carried out the reveal in a private room in Dior.

Opening the huge box to unveil the blue version of the bag, the couple were over the moon to find out they were having a little baby boy.

Rachel told People: ‘Funny enough, we got the very last baby blue bag in the entire store. When the associate told us it was the last blue bag, we were like, this is crazy, it was so meant to be’

According to the outlet, the bag would have set the parents-to-be back a whopping six thousand dollars (approx €5116) and featured three charms, a K for Rachel’s surname, a bee for their pet pooch Honey and a Christian Dior pearl.

Alongside the costly gender reveal video, Rachel exclaimed: ‘Baby was craving a Dior bag… Thank you to Sofia at Dior Paris Champs-Elysées – the hardest part was not opening the results ourselves but this was so worth it.’

People loved the posh gender reveal on social media, with one person writing: ‘I sent this to my husband because this is how I want to do a gender reveal lmao’.

Another added: ‘This is so chic! Push present + gender reveal!’

Congratulations on your baby boy Rachel and Austin!
