I know it's been suggested to get a gift from the new baby to DS but for the life of me can't think of anything? He will be almost 16 months when I' m due and it has to be something easy I can pack in the hospital bag. I know I'm probably over thinking this but just looking for some ideas. thanks.
Re: what is a good gift for DS from new baby
My DS was 22 months when DD came along, and the gift we got him "from" her was a Fisher Price Little People fire truck. (If you google "Michael and His Rescue Rig" you will see it, sorry I can't do a link!)
He loved it, still plays with it now. Actually, now they both play with it. We brought it in our hospital bag too.
An old coworker got a dog tag style chain for her older son from his baby brother. It was engraved on the front with his name and on the back with "love ya bro" or something like that. Her oldest was 5, though, when the baby was born.
Still, if we do this kind of thing for DD with baby #2 comes, I like the idea of doing something more sentimental and lasting. Personalizationmall.com or Things Remembered might have good ideas for something along those lines?
