Present from new baby to older sibling - good idea?

[fluffyanimal]

Not sure whether this should go in Childbirth, but anyway. I've heard lots of 2nd time parents say that getting a present for dc1 from the new baby helped with bonding etc. If anyone did it, how did they give it, and was it worth it? Would love to hear experiences.

Ys. We did this it doesn't have to be anything expensive.

I have just bought the new baby's presents for my 2 DC's. I have bought DD some (slightly) dangly earrings which is something she wouldn't normally have been allowed.

Also DS (2) has bought the baby a present. He loves his cuski so he has bought the baby one in another colour. He seems to be really looking forward to giving it to his brother.
