Big Sister Gift Basket Ideas
Permalink Closed

OK so I want to make a gift basket for my daughter to give her when the baby comes.  I plan on putting in a video of me and my husband with a special greeting to her, a Big Sister T-Shirt, a journal, and some candy goodies.  Does anyone have any other ideas?


I'm making one for my husband too, with a shirt that says "dude who do diapers rule" and some chocolate cigars, maybe a humorous new dad book.  I could use ideas for this one too...

How old is your daughter?


Maybe a cute Sister book from Hallmark or Barnes and Noble. You could buy a disposable camera and she can have it to take her own pictures of the new baby and her.


For your husband, I dont know if they sell any albums that says dad and daughter and he too can have a whole album of just him and the baby.


HTH! I will try to think of some more ideas. I love the idea of making a basket for them!!!

My daughter is 6.  I love the camera idea, that would make her feel so grown up.  GREAT!

Maybe a new movie and/or special toy to facilitate some independant playing time after the baby comes?  A coloring book?  A lego set?

yeah, i immediately thought of a doll and play-doh.  i love the camera idea as well.  i was about that age when my little sister was born, so i really liked seeing everything that my mom was doing with her, so maybe if she has a doll she can play with and mimmick you.  i remember my mom teaching me how to wrap my baby (swaddle), so maybe you can make sure that her doll has a blanket too.

That's cute... my mom still tells stories about how I tried to breastfeed my stuffed bear when I was 5 after seeing her feed my little brother.  So embarrassing...
