We took DS1 to pick one out for his little brother and we picked out one for DS1 that DS2 would give him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2518010 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 08:31:47 +0000 HazelEyes 2518010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: @Lilbear: I love these ideas.... he just used some melissa and doug water magic water pens at our neighbor's house and loved them too.</p> <p>@akcoffeebean: oooh, stickers! Yes, he is totally into stickers right now! And that is a great tip about the thick stickers. And no, he doesnt have a fire hat or a dalmation... wheels are turning. DH wants to get <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/38237161?wmlspartner=wlpa&#038;selectedSellerId=0&#038;adid=22222222227028385841&#038;wl0=&#038;wl1=g&#038;wl2=c&#038;wl3=47976557432&#038;wl4=&#038;wl5=pla&#038;wl6=95957493632&#038;veh=sem" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/38237161?wmlspartner=wlpa&#038;selectedSellerId=0&#038;adid=22222222227028385841&#038;wl0=&#038;wl1=g&#038;wl2=c&#038;wl3=47976557432&#038;wl4=&#038;wl5=pla&#038;wl6=95957493632&#038;veh=sem</a> but that's kind of expensive!</p> <p>@misolee: That's adorable. I"m not sure J would get it quite yet. He just turned 2. But I like that for a future gift :)</p> <p>@Charm54: I love this! Now I'm wishing I waited to give him his baby until then.</p> <p>@lamariniere: haha, that's why I want to decide now!</p> <p>@mrs.cookie: Magnadoodle. That's a good one too. I like that to keep him busy. And that gives me a little hope that he will be a great, loving big brother and not jump to the jealousy. Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517892 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 05:50:00 +0000 mrs.cookie 2517892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our DS a magnadoodle from DD when she was born. He loved it (he was 2.5 but not quite into regular drawing yet) and it kept him busy while I was nursing 😂. Good luck! I obsessed about this issue for some reason but it didn't actually matter much in the end, he loved his little sis so much anyway!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517888 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 05:39:29 +0000 lamariniere 2517888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to get a Playmobil helicopter or fire truck, but then little sister came earlier than expected and I didn't end up getting anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517884 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 05:36:32 +0000 Charm54 2517884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When dd1 came to visit us in the hospital, there was a new baby (doll) waiting for her . The nurses even swaddled it and put it in a bassinet for us right besides her new baby sister - it was so sweet. My older treasures that doll and loved getting to take her own baby home from the hospital, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517881 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 05:23:19 +0000 ValentineMommy 2517881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got him a Buzz Lightyear....the one that talks and whatnot, just like in the movie.</p> <p>He loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517873 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 04:36:28 +0000 Pumuckl 2517873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD "brought" DS a Duplo Zoo truck. It was great as it kept him (then 21m old) busy in the hospital and both of them still play with it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517869 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 02:28:44 +0000 misolee 2517869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 3.5 when brother was born about two months ago. She got a "camera" from him that actually takes pictures and she took pics of all the ppl that visited. </p> <p>She was spoiled by other ppl who came to visit the hospital too. She told me to have another baby so she could go visit and get presents😝 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517843 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 23:21:52 +0000 akcoffeebean 2517843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HazelEyes: I don't have any good ideas for a gift from baby- but I wanted to jump on @tidybee's train of thought. We've set aside some duplo kits and some crayola color wonder art kits for when I'm nursing and DS needs a quiet activity. Normally I let him use regular markers and paint, but I think the color wonder stuff is going to be helpful for when I don't want to do a ton of clean up afterwards. </p> <p>I bought a bag of foam stickers this week to use during art time and DS is a huge fan. They're thick and he can remove the paper backing himself, which is not always the case with regular stickers. I found them at JoAnns and it looks like Amazon and Michaels carries them too. </p> <p>Does your son have a fireman's hat or a stuffed Dalmatian? That could be a lot of fun as a sibling gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517747 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 20:38:22 +0000 Lilbear 2517747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD was 1 month shy of her 3rd birthday when DS was born, and she is super into playdoh. We bought her a playdoh dessert creations set as her gift from DS. It has occupied her time nicely, so we have had an easier time transitioning to a family of 4, since she's been so "busy" playing with her playdoh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517613 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 18:54:26 +0000 Tidybee 2517613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HazelEyes: @hilsy85: her favorite was some cheap plastic mermaid from the dollar store. No kidding. But everything was a favorite for a few hours...the newness of it and the reward of it. I got some bouncy balls, some mini coloring pages with matching markers, a decorate your own bracelet kit....I literally raided the dollar store on two different occasions and still have stuff in there. I know I have an animal stamp set in there, a Minnie coloring page, some<br /> Glow bracelet things, a doc mcstuffins puzzle.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517569 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 17:46:27 +0000 HazelEyes 2517569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: ooh, that's a good one, but he just got that for Christmas!</p> <p>@PinkElephant: @catlady: something for his new baby--this could be a good idea</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Yeah, we're kind of leaning toward something fire-truck-y. I think DH got a firetruck from his sister, so there might be some nostalgia there.</p> <p>@autumnleaves: He just turned 2 last week, so he just got a bunch of new stuff from family, which is why I don't know what else--he has so much!</p> <p>@erinbaderin: He loooves trains, but someone passed a train table and set on to us</p> <p>@Tidybee: this is a super cute idea! And definitely something to have in my back pocket! Like @hilsy85: I'd love to know what some favorites are!</p> <p>@MaisyMay: Hm, he's into hats, a few dress up hats could be a good one... hm... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517485 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 15:07:10 +0000 MaisyMay 2517485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our girl received a dress up outfit, movie and doll. She brought LO2 a frog wubbanub paci. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517481 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 15:06:10 +0000 hilsy85 2517481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got him the plan city parking garage. </p> <p>@Tidybee: that is a great idea actually, and I think I might start using that to deal with the constant hurting/bothering issue we've been having!! Would love to hear what stuff C has really liked from the bag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517478 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 15:05:02 +0000 erinbaderin 2517478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our son a train set - he was thrilled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517454 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 14:44:10 +0000 autumnleaves 2517454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HazelEyes: How old is your son?</p> <p>I am due in a few weeks and DS1 is 19 months. I ordered blocks for him and may get him a ball to kick around and a magnetic train. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517422 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 14:20:42 +0000 Tidybee 2517422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did something a little different. I didn't think I should get DD1 a gift for "existing" more or less (plus her baby sister was a great gift!), so I made her a special big sister bag. I bought DD1 a bunch of little things from the dollar store, coloring books, stamps, stickes etc. Whenever she had a day where she was a good big sister (or I needed her to be occupied or felt guilty because DD2 needed me more than usual), she got to pick something special from the bag. It's been almost 9 months and she still has days where she can pick something from the big sister bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517413 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 14:13:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2517413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It can really be anything. Just go with his interests even if it means another train. He'He'll just be happy his little sister knows what he likes already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-ds-from-2#post-2517352 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 13:34:03 +0000 catlady 2517352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are not there yet but I was planning on getting my LO a set of "baby gear" to go with her baby dolls.
