Ideas for gift for big brother (age 8!) from baby!

[Giraffemonkey8]

Looking for gift ideas to get my son something from baby when baby arrives. Preferably something he can keep, when his sister was born we got him his first proper watch for example. Thank you!

Is he into Nature? Some kind of gadget for Nature study? Like a good, beautiful compass, for instance. Or something similar, like a good and durable pair of binoculars?
I'm admittedly a nature nerd, so I'm probably biased 😅
Congratulations for your lovely growing family 💐

Polaroid camera?

(Gosh, I wish I was 8!)

Thank you! Unfortunately he’s not massively into nature which is a shame as that’s a beautiful idea! He’s more into football, always active. Really looks after his bedroom which he’s just had decorated, so I did consider something nice for there but struggling for ideas

Could you get him a football medal or a trophy with a personalised engraving from the baby? Feeds into his likes and your keepsake idea

Good idea but judging by the photos he takes on his tablet we’d have Polaroid after Polaroid of blurry football and grass 😂

Ooh that’s a good idea thanks, had a Fitbit suggested to track his activity but could get this alongside

Getting him a football medal is FANTASTIC idea, go for it, OP!!!
If there is a team he specifically likes, you can also make a photo montage (here is a guide to do so) that would show him as one of the members of his favorite team, and then you print the picture out and give it to him along with the medal.
