Big Sister Gift

My older brother and sister-in-law will be having thier second child (a boy) in August and I want to make my neice a "big sister" package.  She will be 3 about 1 week after the baby is due and I am sure it is going to be quite an adjustment from being an only child. 

So far I have:

  • 2 shirts - one that says "I'm the big sister" with a matching "I'm the little brother" onsie and a second, that says "my brother did it".
  • I'm a big sister photo album (fuzzy pink, and hold 12 pictures). I want to get a disposable camera for her to take pics for her book.
  • I am making a big sister bracelet as she loves jewelry.

I am looking for a book as well but am waiting to see if my brother got her any first as I don't want to get her the same one they did.  Any suggestions on what else I can give her?

Re: Big Sister Gift

  • We got the Emster a little baby and a stroller before the Bean arrived.  It's funny because LB is the baby lover and Em could mostly care less :)

    The shirts sound cute! 

  • I love all your ideas so far! I would also get something that is not big sister related. A toy or something she might have had her eye on. That way she knows that her life wont be ALL ABOUT being the big sister and that she is still special even if she wasnt the big sister you know?

  • Unfortunately, I have no advice or suggestions.  I just wanted to say that those shirts sound adorable!  Your gift is so thoughtful, and sounds absolutely perfect so far.

    I agree with this.

    What about a book about sisters and not about being a big sister?  I think going with everything about being a big sister is a little too much. 

  • Thanks everyone for the suggestions.  I hit the disney outlet store today and get her some princess and the frog stuff (it's her obsession right now).
