Buying a gift for the older sibling upon the arrival of the new-born is an important task that parents need to undertake for the older sibling to be more accepting of the baby. It is the first step to bond the baby and the older sibling and to help the older sibling better adjust to a new family addition. Receiving this gift from the baby means a lot to the older sibling as it feels that he is welcomed by the baby and that is a gentle message to convey to the older sibling of his alleviated status and his new roles and responsibilities. The older sibling will also be more willing to help the parents take care of the baby and do not feel neglected when the parents spend more time with the baby.
There are many gifts that parents can consider for the older sibling depending on the older sibling’s personality and likes. My best friend is recently scouting for big brother gifts before the birth of her new-born daughter in October. Her son is an active and inquisitive boy who loves to explore new things and activities.
I have helped my best friend to search for brother sibling gift from new baby via the internet and have shortlisted a few suitable ones based on her son’s character. The first gift that I have shortlisted is a digital camera for kids. As he is an inquisitive boy, he will be delighted to spend more time with his younger sibling and find out more about his adorable baby sister. He will be excited to take photographs of his baby sister’s interesting habits and actions so that he can share the beautiful moments with his parents and friends.
The second gift that I have shortlisted is a gift set that comprises of a “Super Brother” mask and cape and a book about Big brother. With this gift, my friend’s son will feel like a hero, running around wearing his mask and cape. He will beam with pride when he wears this outfit and be motivated to look after his baby sister. My best friend who is enjoying motherhood can make use of the contents found in the book about big brother to share more with him about the roles and responsibilities of being a big brother in a light-hearted manner.
The last gift that I have shortlisted is a big brother and little sister matching outfit. The reason why I chose this gift is because wearing matching outfit provides the big brother a bond with his little sister. Wearing matching outfits make great photos and create memorable family photos.
No matter which big brother gift my best friend has chosen for his son, I am sure he will be delighted and looking forward to spending his time with the new member of the family.
