small, standard gifts

Anonymous
I like to give little gifts to siblings for birthdays, etc.

RIght now I'm looking for some small gifts I can give to boys and girls (doesn't necessarily need to be the same) - generally, but specifically for big bothers and sisters having new siblings enter the family who are around 10/11. Any ideas?

What age range ?

I'm not sure what you are talking about and you don't need to give gifts to non-birthday kids/siblings.

But if you want some gifts for 10-11 year olds, I would do small notebooks with cute pens, stickers, legos.

I know I don't need to, but I want to.
This is great- legos. I have only girls and I tend to think of things like playdough, lipgloss.

Please give girls legos and not lipgloss.

Art supplies are good and gender-neutral. Markers, colored pencils, sketchbook, etc.

Aren't 11 year olds too old for things like playdoh, legos and stickers?

I think 11 year olds are too old to need consolation gifts when their sibling is having their birthday, but whatever.

Books and art supplies are also good.

OP here and I'm pretty appalled I wrote that.

Interesting. "Need" may be a strong word, but I think it's always a nice touch.

So this is a gift for specifically when there's a new baby, not for younger siblings' birthdays, right?

both- looking for something I can keep easily on hand. $5 or less preferred.

I don't want a lego set around with a new baby. How about a book, art supplies, etc. Nothing with lots of pieces.

Definitely not for legos. Some sets say 14+.

Lego sets appropriate for older kids are usually over the $5 limit, though. Otherwise, you are never too old for Lego.
