Sibling gifts? What to get?

ecu1995ecu1995
in 3rd Trimester

I have two older children - boy: 9 1/2 and a girl: 6

I want to get them each a little gift bag to give them when they come to the hospital to visit me (I am having a csection so will be there a few days), but have no idea what to put in them!

I am thinking silly bandz (if I can find them anywhere!), maybe a book or two, lip gloss and fingernail polish for my DD, but anyone else have any ideas?  I thought about getting some candy that they are never allowed to have and stick in there...like all the sour patch kids junk...

    You're kiddos are older, so I'm not sure!  Your ideas sounds great though =)

    I'm not sure since they are older, but your gift bags sound good. When my little sister was born my mom got me a baby doll so we could take care of our babies together. I still have it and my mom always jokes that my baby stayed cute and small while hers grew up, gave her hell and then joined the army.

    I was 3 when my brother was born. I still vividly remember walking into the hospital room with my Dad and seeing my mom holding a bundle and telling me that my baby brother got me something. It was Raisinets lol! They gave them to my in a little plastic medicine cup. Its my earliest memory and I just remember thinking that it was so cool I got chocolate!

    i dont know cuz yours are older, but i do know those rubber bands are getting popular.  my causin in PA is sending me out to get some for her this weekend. 

    i was told to make it seem like the gift is from LO.  like it came outta your vag with LO.  so my vag will also be giving birth to a leap frog TAG.  its going to hurt, but i think im ready.

    I haven't thought of this yet but sounds like you have great ideas. My 4 1/2 year old is obsessed with silly bandz too.:)

    Maybe you can get your daughter a coloring book and ask her to color a page for the baby for when he gets home, it will help her make the time go by faster.

    Candy sounds good too  :) (you actually made me crave sour patches right now-lol)

    My daughter is 8 1/2 and I found a pendent that says big sister then found a chain to put the pendant on and some nice ear rings and put them all together like it came that way. I have it in my hospital bag so that it doesn't get forgotten but I am having a c section so I want to give it to her as soon as I see her.
