I think anything you can do to encourage sibling closeness is well worth doing. </p> <p>As it stands, my husband receives a gift from our furbabies and so do I. I think it's kind of along the same lines. Obviously they didn't buy it but it's still sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-los-exchange-gifts#post-1940144 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 20:33:35 +0000 yin 1940144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 recently picked out a gift for DS2's birthday, and it was really adorable and thoughtful of him. I will have him pick out a present for his brother for Christmas as well. I'll probably buy a Thomas train and tell him that DS2 bought it for him. He will be thrilled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-los-exchange-gifts#post-1939774 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 15:27:38 +0000 photojane 1939774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always picked out gifts for my brothers, and they always picked out ones for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-los-exchange-gifts#post-1939700 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:57:54 +0000 Adira 1939700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I know my parents wrote our names on gifts they gave to grandparents and stuff, but I don't think my brother and I "exchanged" gifts until we were old enough to buy them ourselves. It might not even have been until we were in college! Or after college?? Wow, my memory is terrible... I'll just ask him what we did, he has a better memory than me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-los-exchange-gifts#post-1939697 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:55:32 +0000 autumnlove 1939697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: my parents always wrote my brother's name on one gift. I always thought it was lame but I'm doing it now..haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-los-exchange-gifts#post-1939694 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:53:44 +0000 Adira 1939694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm... I don't recall getting gifts for my brother (or my parents) until I had a job... now I feel like I should ask my parents if that's really accurate or I just have a terrible memory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-los-exchange-gifts#post-1939692 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:52:07 +0000 swurlygurl 1939692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooohhh... I hadn't even thought of that! I might try to direct her to pick out a book for sister (and give her a book 'from' sis). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-los-exchange-gifts#post-1939688 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:50:24 +0000 Mamaof2 1939688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes - I am taking them to Target alone to pick out a gift for each other</p> <p>(not related but I also do this for their birthdays) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-los-exchange-gifts#post-1939684 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:48:10 +0000 autumnlove 1939684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 1 picked out some Elmo PJs at Kohls for her sister.
