Rachel Santana, a Miami-based influencer who has been sharing some of her life’s biggest moments online, recently shared the unique way she and her husband, Austin, discovered the gender of their firstborn with a customized $6,000 Dior purse.

When they finally left for their vacation abroad as an expecting pair, they spontaneously decided to go into a Dior store, where they left the unveiling of their firstborn’s gender in the hands of a sales associate.

“She was so kind and sweet. She’d never done a gender reveal for anyone and she was so happy to do it,” Rachel tells PEOPLE of the staff member who, after seeing the results, was tasked with selecting either a pink or blue Small Lady Dior purse, but wrapping it up so the gender was kept a secret. “I didn’t call ahead or anything, I just showed up and hoped for the best."

The parents-to-be were given a private room in the store as well as chocolates and juice to celebrate, making it all a very “sweet and intimate” experience.

Despite having near 4 million followers on Instagram and TikTok together, Rachel says that she never expected her announcement video to go as viral as it did (it reached 14 million views on TikTok and 22 million on Instagram). She “just thought it was such a cute idea.”

Rachel, who is fully in her “mom era” now, admits that she hasn’t thought about receiving a push present from her husband yet.
