Gifts for siblings? Has anyone gotten or given in the past, a gift to give to an older sibling when bub is born from the…

I think iv decided a small camera is the perfect gift to go with his book thankyou to those who suggested it, iv found some 10.1mp ones for $30 which will be perfect for him and I will get a cheap memory card so he can just fill it up ???

I second the child safe camera, I’m only due with my second in June but I have been told by 3 people that the kids cameras are great so the big sibling can be involved and take pics of the baby. My daughter won’t quite be 2 yet so she may be too young but I imagine a 3-8 year old would really enjoy a their own camera on such a memorable day.

My 5yr old is so excited to meet her he is forever talking to my belly and cuddling it, I'm having him with me in labour room and already spoke to hospital they just said thats fine unless something starts to go wrong then my mum will take him straight out the room, iv told family and friends i will not be making any announcements shes arrived untill im ready and that after shes born and cleaned and put on me then I want at least an hr or 2 with just me and my son and bub so we can bond together. Everyone else can wait as far as I'm concerned i want my son to be first to meet his new sister ?

I just ordered this book and one other for my two boys. I plan to get them big and bigger brother shirts, or make them if I feel up for it. And a small quiet toy, maybe a felt something, they can play with at the hospital when they come to visit. Oh and some snacks, like the Annie’s gummy snacks or something that won’t make a mess. My boys are 3, will be 4 just weeks after my EDD, and 2.5 so pretty easy to please. I know my oldest will be fascinated with his newest brother so I’m not too worried about keeping him entertained but my 2.5 year old is a different story!

I got my 2 & 3.5 yo a r/c car to play with with Daddy on paternity leave to keep them all entertained ?

I got my son some Mickey Mouse clubhouse toys I knew he would like from baby sister. Thanks for reminder. I should start thinking about what this baby will give them.

I did it with my so last pregnancy and it was a nice way to introduce his baby sister to him. She got him a little goodie bag filled with his favorite treats. Lol

My son will be 3 in a month and we got him a Vtec camera and I made a small basket with little snacks and small “busy” activities for when he comes to meet the baby in hospital.

I bought my boys some light up swords, my mom got me and my brother something when our younger brother was born and I felt so special.

@Freesha84, here is the one I'm considering with a letter or note to go with it.

A handwritten letter detailing your hopes for their relationship and your love for them. Though it's something you will need to keep until they are older it will have deep meaning one day.

@zigsmom I'm having the same issue my oldest son is 15 and I'm having no luck with ideas I also have a 2 year old daughter so she's easy but I don't want the oldest left out ?

Yeah 14 would be harder to think of for something whats the willow tree thing never heard of it ?

My oldest is 14, so a book or coloring book unfortunately won't cut it. I'd like a momento for him though. I've been thinking about those Willow Tree figurines for him to keep as a keepsake from the day his little bro was born. 14 year old boys don't seem too sentimental though, so I don't know what to do...

My son loved his “big bro” shirt the first time around. This time, he setting a “bro bro” shirt.

At my baby shower my son got a character themed basket with different toys. I’ll probably do another gift basket for him when I deliver. Probably another character theme.

I gave my son the Daniel Tiger big brother book at my baby shower. I plan to have a gift from the baby to give to him at the hospital. I'm thinking just a small toy.

They had your a big sister one also :) im in aus got it at Kmart for $4, they do have some ones on eBay for $12 though but check your local book store they are super cute

I got my daughter a new coloring book and markers and chapstick (she LOVES chapstick☺) I like this book I'll have to order her one too. She loves books:)
