  1. ya you could get her something like to be entertained with at the party so she is not wanting to be doing eveerything your doing for the 7 year old. you could get her some coloring books and crayns or maybe a few picture books to look at.

  2. No, she has to learn she gets hers on her birthday! I’m a mother of 5, grandmother of 9, great grandmother of 3, so i’ve had experience here!

  3. Yes, you should get the three year old a ‘little’ gift … even a 99 cent stuffed toy will do, and DO NOT WRAP IT, but just give it to her when you greet her. Three years old is NOT old enough to ‘understand’ why her big brother is ‘getting good stuff’ and she isn’t, and that ‘little gift’ could stave off a temper tantrum or worse … and YOU are a good person for thinking of this ‘little’ girl on her brother’s birthday. Also, when you see them on HER birthday, give him a ‘little something’ (like a Hot Wheel Car) so they’ll BOTH know that you think of ‘both of them’ all the time.

  4. yah shes too young, get her a present, she probably wont understand y u would get her bro a present and not her.

  8. it’s kind of like spoiling her but if u want to be nice but it’s actually his time to shine

  9. No. Then she’ll expect a gift on EVERYONE’S birthday. She has to learn early that she is not the center of the universe and that ALL kids are equally special!

  10. no. at 3 she is old enough to understand that it is his b-day, and not her time for presents. She will get plenty at her b-day as well. If she gets something everytime her brother does she will get spoiled very quickly.

  12. I don’t think that you should get the 3 year old anything she has to realize that its not her birthday but her brothers. We have to start teaching our kids that its not always about them.

  13. I am glad you asked.. that is a great idea. At 3 years old they think everything is about them. If you get her a little something (even a dollar store trinket) she will feel less left out and it could keep the party from going to disaster.

  14. please don’t- you will set a precedent, and others will feel they have to do the same- what if you went to a house like my friends where there are 7 children?? i don’t wan to have to buy that many presents.
    plus it takes away from their ‘special day’ if you include others
