Gift from new baby to toddler

Yes will definitely be doing this! My LO also loves a jumper so I’m going to get him a big brother one!

I'm having my baby shower tomorrow and have done my daughter a little bag of goodies, so she doesn't feel left out. She'll also get a gift from baby when she arrives. My daughter is 8 though and has said that babies don't bring gifts, mam's and dad's buy them 😂🙈 xx

My daughter is 2 and a half .I’m going to get a gift from the baby. A lot of friends with 2 have said that it went down well x

I've bought a little doll for my daughter from the baby. Just a cheap sale one from scandiborn but it came in a nice box. https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/collections/dolls/products/jabadabado-doll-astrid

My mum did this when I was younger! I got a gift from my sister. I plan to do the same for my stepson from his brother

We’re doing this. I got a personalised book from Wonderbly.

I’m going to get my little one a gift from baby brother I was planning maybe like a month after he’s here to get her a little trampoline for the garden (we had previously bought it for Christmas but too cold haha) so he could say thank you for being a good big sister

Thank you some good ideas here!

Some lovely ideas! I’m due in Feb and also been torn over this. I get that it’s a lovely idea but think it would make more sense if the sibling was older. Our age gap will be 19ish months and I think she won’t really get the concept of baby giving her a gift. The gift will be the gift and baby will be baby. Not sure it’ll all make sense in the same way that if she was 2/3+ it might actually make sense to her that baby is giving her something. And there is also part of me that doesn’t want to make it feel conditional as in new baby but you get a gift. I’d like her to accept baby (with time/support from us) without feeling she needs a gift to do that. I’m probably overthinking it! And I have seen stories where the sibling has really taken to the baby in the room and so not needed a gift and actually giving one could distract/add more going on. I think I’ll have one for her as a backup but going to try without and maybe give her something special from us before/after.

Shouldn’t the gift be from the older one to the baby? I remember bringing a gift set to my baby sister in the hospital which my grandparents had purchased.

@Lora I’ve done both. My son picked out an outfit from M&S for the baby, and I got a book made as if it’s from the baby to my son.

My 2 year old Loves taking photos so we’ve got her a camera that prints out, not a Polaroid one but a cheaper Amazon version, she will hopefully enjoy taking pictures of our new baby
