Big brother/sister gifts?

Question

Those of you who already have a child/children... are you planning on getting your older child a gift from the baby on deliver day? Why or why not? If you are, how big/small is the gift--why is it?

Answer

No, my children know the baby is a new gift for our family. I don't see any reason for material things.

Answer

Absolutely not, my parents didn't do that for us when we were young and I think it's a silly thing to do now. The baby is a new gift for the family.

Answer

Yes, the baby will get all of the attention so it's nice if the older sibling is recognized with something small.

Answer

Last time, I got my son a little book with a very small stuffed animal. It gave him something to play with while at the hospital. It cost $10 and now 5 years later, when he comes across the book, he always says something to his little brother about how little brother got it for him. This time, I think I will have both boys make a shirt about being big brothers and also make the baby a little brother onsite that they can all wear when we go home instead of other items.

Answer

New baby will have most of the attention so I thought about a big brother book and stuffed animal he can play with the baby with and not feel too left out

I'm doing more of a weekend baby moon type thing for my son. How couples go on a baby moon before baby is born, I'm going to take him to this place called Port Discovery that has hands on learning experiences and play areas, get a hotel for the night, and the. Take him to the aquarium. One last hoorah and celebrating his promotion to big brother :) plus, he's been doing really well with his speech therapy and things like that so he deserves a fun filled weekend.

Answer

But idk what yet. My 16yr old is extremely independent and just think she's getting a new puppy... hello? 
His 2 sons are 8 and 4. The 8 year old is not happy but the 4 year old watches the ultrasound DVD all the time. 
Idk what to get either of them. . I need to figure it out. 
Maybe a piece of jewelry for my daughter.

Answer

I'll be in the hospital 2-3 days and I plan to get Big sister (she will be 4.5) a shirt to wear to the hospital each day to match little bother.  May also do a day of goody bag (coloring book, etc)  since I'm having a csection and it will keep her occupied for the waiting room!!

Answer

I got my son "im a big brother pin and shirt" from his sister saying she was so excited to meet him. 
I think it depends really. Obviously they don't need something extravagant. Even a homemade card with baby's foot print would be sufficient.

It's just recognizing them and making sure they realize they're important too.

Answer

That last part was supposed to say "what is it?" 🙈
