To get DD1 a present from her baby sister to give when shes born??

[TwoPeasOnePod]

Hey all, not sure where to post this.. I've read in a few places that it can be a good idea to bring home DD1 (who is three) a little gift 'from' her new sister when shes
born?
Has anyone done this, did it go down well, and any suggestions for a special little gift? DD2 is three days overdue so I will be plodding round the shops this afternoon looking for this gift

Leni75- forgive me, that has made me laugh so much! He obviously got so much enjoyment from it, but it just seems so incongruous

I had 'presents' from my younger siblings when I was a child, and DS 'brought' DD a present when he was born- a baby doll so she could be occupied too when it was time to feed, change, bathe baby, and put baby to bed- it really helped (we had a 3y age gap) and DD still plays with her doll (she didn't have any baby dolls previously... well any dolls at all actually)

I know CaptainNancy, a toy chainsaw, but we knew he would love it more than anything else we could get him, because he always wants to play with the real one, and, of course, isn't allowed, so we figured that this was the thing that would put his new sister in the best light possible to him....and it worked like a dream......

i got my dd1 (who was 5 when dd2 was born) a silver bracelet that said big sister on it.she loved it.i got dd2 a similar bracelet that said baby sister.

DD2 gave DD1 tigger aquadraw when she visited her in hospital. She was very pleased with it.

Loves her sister - she tells me so

Haha the chainsaw has made me laugh
I got her the Barbie puppy swim school in the end, as its what SHE wants most, so hardly matters if it isnt meaningful to me guess! Im now in the sixth day of being overdue...Membrane sweep booked for tomorrow,not too keen on intervention though, think I might refuse it though and maybe wait a few more days (eeeek!)

ds2 'gave' ds1 (then aged 6) some star wars lego when they met in hospital for the 1st time. ds1 loved it and spent all day sitting on the bed with us playing with it, so was a really nice time together.

when dd was born the boys couldn't visit me in hospital, so when we came home, they each got a present from dd and it really eased the transition, especially for ds2 who was not quite 2 when she arrived and thus was a bit nervy about it.

TwoPeas, our older siblings also bought baby a gift and this was really successful with us. So first time ds bought dd a lovely fleecy blanket (that she was immediately able to be wrapped in "thank you lovely big brother") and the next time (by which time we had zillions of blankets but our baby toys were a bit past it) the big ones brought a lovely baby toy that hung on the carseat.
