Is it appropriate to get a small gift for the older sibling of a birthday baby?

gift for 4 year baby image

october g

We're going to a small birthday gathering for a lady from church whose baby is turning 1. She also has a daughter who will be 4 in December. Would it be appropriate to get a small gift for the older sibling. And by small I mean like a cheapy $1 princess jewelry set from the dollar store or something. My husband says "no, just get a gift for the 1 year old. Kids need to learn they can't always get gifts at a birthday party." Besides, my almost 3 year old is friends with the almost 4 year old so I thought it would be kind of cool for my daughter to give something to her. Appropriate or not?

Answer
Ahhhhhh, I have mixed feelings on this.

I have done it, because the older sibling feels left out of all the attention devoted to the baby, but it does spoil them, and they do have to learn that everything is not always about them.

Maybe stop when the older child hits 6 or 7?

What is a great baby gift idea in this case?

I want to purchase a gift for a friend who is having a baby. I want to make it a group gift from a group of 3-4 year olds. Do you have any ideas? They can write their names, maybe a blanket written on with a fabric pen, it can't be super big or alot of stuff. I guess it could be a baby item from them with a card they all wrote on. Do you have any other really creative ideas that could work? I love brainstorming!

Answer
They make stuffed animals called autograph animals. I got one at a party and card store in my local town. It was a ducky made of a pleather type material. So I had everyone at my shower sign it so I could give it to my daughter when she was older. You could use any stuffed animal made out of a fabric like that.
