I figure grandparents go all out for first birthdays, and it's not like the kid will remember what I got them, so I might as well let the parents pick out something they really need or want that hasn't already been gotten.</p> <p>Or could you ask for clothes in different sizes (maybe not what he needs now, but what you might short on in the next year)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gifts-for-second-child#post-2267103 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:45:41 +0000 Pancakes 2267103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: We are in a similar situation with my DD2's birthday coming up next month. So far I have added a few books, a print from Minted for her room, her own SkipHop backpack, Duplos, and a Step2 Buggy to her wish list. I would also love for family to chip in for music classes or something like that, but our family and friends also like to buy physical gifts... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gifts-for-second-child#post-2266849 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 09:32:44 +0000 regberadaisy 2266849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: haha yeah I've been gifting that for 11 years! When my first niece and nephew turned one. :)<br /> I love personalization gifts but most of them are more going to the store and buy things kinda person. Like BIL literally goes day of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gifts-for-second-child#post-2266838 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 09:28:27 +0000 looch 2266838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: It's such a great gift idea! </p> <p>I was also thinking maybe a personalized monogram cut out for the bedroom, unless you already have name letters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gifts-for-second-child#post-2266833 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 09:27:07 +0000 regberadaisy 2266833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: haha that is my first birthday gift to all family kids! A is getting one from us and big sister has one of her own. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gifts-for-second-child#post-2266830 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 09:26:12 +0000 regberadaisy 2266830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: haha she's turning one so no real interests yet. :)</p> <p>@Adira: we have SO much toys already I really do not want any more clutter. Most people I think are telling us they're gifting clothes. Which I'm grateful but prepared that we'll probably not wear them because they'll be wrong size/season despite them knowing the sizing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gifts-for-second-child#post-2266823 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 09:24:20 +0000 looch 2266823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something with their name on it...like those puzzle stools.</p> <p><a href="http://www.tinykeepsakes.com/Puzzle_Step_Stools_s/37.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.tinykeepsakes.com/Puzzle_Step_Stools_s/37.htm</a></p> <p>Also, magnatile expansion kits, a baby doll, their own balance bike, etc. So many things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gifts-for-second-child#post-2266821 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 09:24:10 +0000 erinbaderin 2266821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you give more information - how old is the second child? Does s/he have different interests for the first that you didn't get? Things they might both want to use that you could use a second of?</p> <p>We have two Goddaughters 2 years apart in age so there's overlap (like, they obviously can both use the playhouse we bought the older one), but some things we've gotten the second one - a child sized guitar, a rocking horse, a plasmacar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gifts-for-second-child#post-2266818 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 09:22:01 +0000 Adira 2266818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm struggling with this too. :bummed:</p> <p>My list for Logan mostly contains more books and clothes (I figure clothes is easy and then Logan doesn't have to ONLY wear hand-me-downs). I also added more of things that Xander really likes and won't like sharing, like more blocks, more balls, more toy cars, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gifts-for-second-child#post-2266806 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 09:11:42 +0000 regberadaisy 2266806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are asking. What are some ideas to give people for same gender second children?</p> <p>I would love subscriptions and memberships but most family like to give physical items. :bummed: </p>
