Big Brother/Big Sister Gifts

There’s a New Baby in Your Home – Help Ease Sibling Anxiety with Fun Gifts for the New Big Brother and Big Sister!

Having a new baby in the house can be a a time of uncertainty for older siblings, so give them a medal like the one shown here! In recent years,when delivering the gift for the baby, many moms have started bringing an additional gift for the Big Brother or Big Sister . It’s a great tradition and really starts the bonding relationship out right. New siblings may feel left out with all of the excitement focused on the baby. Siblings crave attention from their parents since parents are busy with the new baby; seeing all of the attention the baby gets can be especially hard for little ones. Giving a gift for being the big brother or big sister allows older siblings to feel special and important too (and the new mom will consider you a hero when you walk in with one of these special gifts)!

We recommend a sibling gift that makes the Big Brother or Big Sister feel very important. Gifts like this Big Brother or Big Sister Keepsake Journal. Brotherly or Sisterly love is sure to abound when you give this Keepsake Book as a sibling gift! Each page is beautifully illustrated and features fill-in the blank sentences, space for photos and a lot of room for self expression.

T-shirts or sweatshirts (pictured on the left), or books that sport the sayings “I am a Big Brother/Sister” are always a big hit. We’ve also found the most adorable dolls, wall hangings and photo albums, even though some of them get a little pricey!

Another alternative is to bring a gift that baby can’t do, like coloring books or paints, puzzles or games. These gifts will please mom because they keep the older sibling busy and they are sure to be a hit! Check our our suggestions for big brother/big sister gifts for welcoming a new baby below.
