The Best Big Sibling Gift Ideas

Elizabeth MacDonald

Jul 04, 2022

by Elizabeth MacDonald

Big sibling gifts have become a routine part of adding a new member to the family. Parents are constantly looking for ways to start that sibling bond young - and what better way than a sweet present from the baby to his or her wonderful big sibling!

When planning a gift for your current little one consider his or her personality and what other toys may already be laying around the house. You want it to be something special.

Our Favorite Big Sibling Gifts

My Baby's Hearbeat Bear

We have the sweetest collection of stuffed animals to choose from! They come with a recordable heart that can capture the new baby’s heartbeat or a message to the big sibling… or even a song!

A Baby Doll

I prefer one with correct anatomy (yes dolls can have a vulva or penis). Oh – and every boy needs a baby doll.

Doll Accessories (Diapers, Clothes, Carrier, Stroller, Car Seat)

Most kids love the cute cloth baby doll diapers that velcro closed. They can wear their babies in slings as you wear your newborn. They can push their doll in a stroller next to you. They can even buckle their doll in the car seat!

A Doll House (or a Fire Station)

Give the gift of imaginative play. Playing house will provide hours of fun!

Camera

A toddler-friendly, droppable camera is always fun. You can upload the pictures and make a scrapbook together.

Tent/Fort

There are tents in every shape, size, and theme available!

Activity Books

Depending on your toddler’s attention span, or affinity towards stickers, these can be a hit or a miss!

HABA Ball Track

The blocks are big enough for tiny hands and sturdy enough to not fall over every time the ball rolls by.

Magnetic Building Blocks

We love MagnaTiles, but there are so many other brands out there! The magnetic versions are the best because there is little required help needed!

Personalized Books

These are great for naptime or bedtime.

Big Sibling Kit

A box full of fun items for creative play! We love dress-up scrubs, a doctor kit, baby dolls, and anything else that will stir the imagination! Remember that a gift is truly not needed, but it is a fun tradition to follow. A gift alone will not magically make your toddler accept a new sibling; that will take lots of love and quality time with Mama!

Totally recommend 100% great gifts and customer service is amazing. Thank you so much Breann for assisting me! I got my grandmother the angel bear singing happy birthday from her mother who passed away last year. She would always call and sing happy birthday to all her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. ALL of them. Never missed one. And this helped her to still have that last year and many years to come.

Where to begin. My son Davin was stillborn last year and I was for fortunate enough to have had his heart beat recorded. I found healing in taking My Heartbeat Bear animals and adding weight to them for other bereaved parents to have something special to hold and cuddle. I’ve since started a non profit called Our Baby’s Legacy for pregnancy and infant loss support, and these weighted animals are a big part of what we do.
The product My Baby Heartbeat Bear makes is really great quality, which is extra important for me considering they may become some parents most cherished possessions after their loss. The animals are super soft and I absolutely love the vintage design where they are floppy and cuddly, and just the perfect size. I also love that there are so many choices, I’m always touched by why one parent chooses one over the other. Seems like a small feature, but to be able to choose a cow because thief nursery was to be barnyard themed, or a bunny bc their baby was born in the spring, is something very special.
I also have found working with the company to be a wonderful experience. Sheldon is who interact with most. When first setting up my account he offered a free sample and has since sent me samples of other items by them. I’ve had to call and add last minute animals to my order or request they be processed ASAP and he and the other staff have always been very accommodating.
I can’t say enough about how easy they make my job. they don’t likely know it but they are making a massively positive impact in the bereavement community with these animals through Our Baby’s Legacy. The animals bring light and comfort into the lives of an otherwise dark and broken place.
