Present for second child

2»

Comments

  • As a parent of two young children, I would suggest pyjamas, books, and if you were happy to gift money it can be used for clothes in the sales, or as someone has mentioned, be put into a savings account.
    I really appreciate Clarks vouchers too - for either child, not just the youngest as shoes are so expensive.

    These children are too young to know they are not getting toys, and the parents will be happy not to have more toys to find a home for! :j

    I'm hoping someone might have some bright ideas! I'm buying birthday/Christmas presents for a few children this year who are second children, so there's already lots of clothes, toys etc in their homes. I've thought about buying something personalised, but otherwise I have no clue what to get that isn't a duplicate or likely to be regifted (not that I have a problem with re gifting, I'd just like to get something different!).

    Any thoughts would be gratefully received!

    How about a £20 coin. It can be spent if need be or kept and possibly increase in value.

    I was going to suggest sleepsuits or pjs too. You find that they get worn out with crawling about so not great to hand down.
