Sibling gifts for the hospital

[Ratpack]

I am going to be having our third child in a couple weeks. I am looking for sibling gifts for the other two to have at the hospital to help them feel special. DD is
7 1/2 years and DS is almost 3.

I am also looking for shirts that they can wear to the hospital and afterwards...but I would like to find something different than Big Sister/ Big Brother type shirts. Like...Big, Bigger, Biggest, etc. Something fun!!

Any helpful sites? I have searched the big brother type stuff, but if I try to do the "oldest, middle and youngest" gifts...I am getting birth orders and how smart they each will be..

Share with me some very creative ideas!!!

Can you make shirts yourself with the kids? I think that is a fun project. Put biggest sister and bigger brother or something like that with handprints or whatever.
When DD was born, I got a gift FROM her to DS and took it to the hospital for her to present to him. This was back in the days that other kids were not allowed in the room when baby was there. He was soooo thrilled that his baby sister would know what he liked and that she got it for him!! LOL. It was wonderful. Some people told me to buy him his own baby, but I got him a dinosaur in an egg (he was really into dinosaurs at the time) that you could unzip. He thought it was great.

Best of luck to you and your newest family member! I know you will find just the right gifts.

Oh gosh, these are cute and funny! I've just did a search and this is what I came up with!

Sibling gift bag

You could even make something yourself and personalize it even more, but the little mask and goggles are too funny!

Here's another

Another great idea would be some 'gift certificates' for some mommy time or a day where they get to pick a special activity or something along those lines with a note from the baby that says....I know I need a lot of help and I'm so glad you're always there for me, here's a certificate for a day that's all about YOU!

Here's another that has some cute shirts that say 'little bit bigger' and 'tad bit bigger' shirts

Also, don't know if you have a cookie bouquet place locally but they do a lot of custom work and they are the cutest cookies, they have lots of designs to choose from, here's their website.... Cookies by Design

I did the t-shirts when I just had my 4th child in Sept. I got them all from ebay. I had one airbrused for my 13yo son that said Big Brother. The other ones were to childish for him . My 6yo's shirt said Im the bigger sister and my 1 year old's said Im the big sister. The spent the night before at my moms since I had a scheduled c-section at 6am. I wrapped them up and my mom had them open them in the am and they wore them to the hospital.

The ebay seller I bought from was manatsinc.

I got my dd a book called "My Book About Me" by Dr. Seuss and she had fun filling in all the blanks with her grandparents while I was in the hospital. When we got home, she had to read the book to me and her new baby. Just an idea.

Perfect timing with this question. I just purchased t-shirts from this site http://www.babygiftspersonalized.com/big_brother_big_sister/g-tshirt2.html

I bought a "I'm the biggest sister" long-sleeve t-shirt, a "I'm the middle sister" long-sleeve t-shirt and a "I'm the baby sister" romper. I haven't received them yet, but they look adorable on thier site. You can choose the hair color of the picture.

We just did a simple gift exchange. DS and his aunt brought a gift and a store-bought birthday cake to the hospital when he came to meet the baby. I had prepacked the plates, forks, and party hats and had the baby's gift for DS (a toy jeep I knew he'd love) in my hospital bag as well. We called it a birthday party. DS was 2 1/2 and he loved it.
