We are planning on packing a big sister gift for our first born to open at the hospital when she comes to visit the baby. She will be 3 in December and we wanted her to feel special during this time when so much attention is focused on the new little one by everyone.  Anyone else doing this? Any good ideas on what to give as a gift?

We just got DD her own baby (a doll). She's already having a great time putting it in the baby swing, putting it down for a nap and so on. It's also a good way to practice how to treat a baby gently.
A friend of mine opted to have a bunch of little gifts for her son "from the baby" instead of one big one, which I thought was neat. In the first couple of weeks they'd hide little trinkets like dinosaurs and cars in the baby's blankets for him to "find".
