Big Brother gifts?

[robinanderson]

ok. I need ideas for a gift that the new baby can 'give' to his big brother on his birthday. We are gonna have Ian give a gift to the baby, but that is easy... I considered matching personalized shirts, but that seems like a lame gift for a 5 yr old. Anyone have any ideas?

Actually, a personalized t-shirt might work at his age. In a couple of years, not so much. I remember the one time my Mom made me and my middle sister matching dresses - we were 6 and 4. I LOATHED that dress and refused to wear it.

I know both my kids (5 and 8)would be bummed to receive any kind of clothing as a gift. I am making the 3 kids coordinating big sis/big bro/lil bro shirts. :D I'm letting the kids each choose a gift to give to the baby. As far as a gift from the baby to them, it'll probably just be something along the lines of what they are interested in (animals for Alison, batman for Xan).
