I agree with little keepsakes, something JUST FOR HIM, if he is having his own room maybe a nice name plaque?
I found that even though we had sheets etc for DD1 i really wanted a blanket just for DD2, i wanted to be able to keep 1 or 2 of their blankets for them for later on.
A towel or blanket with his name on it?
A 'brotherly love' photo frame (or 2, 1 each)? Everywhere was sold out of sisterly love ones when i had DD2 and i would have really liked a frame each for the girls with a picture of their first meeting... i am still on the lookout but might make something myself.
I know it's not a given but i think sometimes it's nice to get the other child a little something aswell, maybe a little toy car... depending on the older childs age they can get a bit funny about all the attention on mum and presents for bub so even the phot frame works well.
I am having my 3rd girl soon... am hoping that instead of more clothes, I will get some nappies, wipes, toiletries/creams or something keep sake. I love the blankets/towels with their name and d.o.b on it. Or a teddy that is theirs. DD2 and DD3 will be the same season babies... so I have loads and loads of clothes for dd3 when she comes. Oh yeah and nothing big thats already around the house!
Thanks so much everyone for your great ideas! Think we might go with a nice keepsake and a 'nappy cake' filled with baby essentials. I also like the embroidered towel or blanket. Definately getting a little gift for the new big brother Appreciate everyones help, I didnt want to get them something that was of no point.
