my daughter has given halloween gifts, christmas gifts and valentine day gifts to both her big sisters, her 2 grand bigs and her maiden auntie(the other little sister of one of her grand bigs-she does not have a little). the whole family(in zta that is) tries to do something together once a month. they are very close-knit.
i will probably pick up some things for my daughter to give her family for easter.
i have not heard of littles having to give a gift to a big for revealing. it is a sweet thought, but since the little would not know who she might be getting as a big, it would just be some random sort of gift, with not much sentiment behind it. i also have not heard of a little giving a gift to her big at initiation.
in my chapter we littles often gave our big sister a "big sister dangle" to put on the chain of her chapter guard, which attaches to the badge. i remember that i gave that as a christmas gift.
i could certainly see a little writing a note to her big, thanking her for her support, friendship and guidance during the pledging process.
