2nd kiddo gifts?

I am sad to say that i am bad about remembering to get gifts for newborn siblings b/c usually there are showers,etc. you are invited to for the 1st, whereas the 2nd (or more) is usually pretty quiet besides a quick email with the name.  I forget that the younger siblings need some love, too!!!

 Anyone have suggestions for a 2nd kiddo newborn gift?  I asked her if she needed anything, but both of her kids are boys, and born during the same season, so she pretty much has everything already.

I thought about something personalized - but have no idea?  burp cloths? blankets? i am sure she has tons of those already.  I could always go with the ole' standby of diapers, but was hoping for something at least somewhat lasting.  I am considering a name block - but any other suggestions would be great!

  • I like personalized stuff. If you think (or know) she's into that kind of stuff there's a TON of cute, reasonable, personalized stuff on Etsy.

    I bought a Big Brother announcement shirt from this Etsy seller and I can't recommend her enough!

     ETA: Who's the kiddo in your siggy? Surely not Z!! =)

  • I think something personalized, like the name block, is a great idea.  Here are some more:

    - Target gift card - when in doubt, these always come in handy.  They lack the personal touch, but with a sweet card or little something, they are always appreciated.

    - a stuffed animal/lovey, since the older one probably doesn't want to share those

    - piggy bank

    - hand print set 

    - a new outfit is always fun!

    - something that came out between kiddos and is all the rage - for me, the razbaby teether, sophie giraffe, and muslin blankets were something I didn't have with DS1 

  • I have started buying personalized books lately. I get them from iseeme.com. I think it's something that lasts and is unique. And if I know the parents really well, I'll sometimes get one for each kid.

  • My go-to gift for baby boys is a birth block.  Every time I give one the mom raves about it. 

    You could also order a personalized Christmas ornament since it's close to the holidays.

  • Doodles has these really cute shadow boxes that you can personalize with baby's name, weight, etc. We got one as a gift and it was one of my favorite personalized gifts! I recently gave one as a gift to my friend who had her second girl and she loved it.

    So this is her 3rd boy? When is she due? Her name wouldn't happen to be Tara, would it?

    No, it's her 2nd kid. She already had him, and lives in VA.  :-)

    Oh...haha. I was thinking how small this world is if it was the same person..lol.

    Good luck, I'm clueless as to what to suggests.  PPs gave great ideas.

  • The block in your post are the exact ones I get for second babies. The lady ships them within a couple days of the order, I got my last two 3 days after I paid for them. I usually couple that with an outfit and burp set from this lady https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheOliveTree7?ref=seller_info and some sort of little thing for the big sibling
