what to get new big bro/sis twin gift?

[fauve01]

My cousin recently had a new baby (a miracle at 43 years old and after 4 ivfs for the first kids). i was wondering what gift to get the almost 3YO siblings twins to send along with the newborn gift (pink robeez and a Haba rattle). I normally like to send books, but they dont' live close and i don't know what they already have. what do you all suggest? I don't want to spend a lot, just something so they're not forgotten. is there something i could get them to share (game maybe? or little people? or ???) or should it be two little soemthings? should i just get books? maybe sticker books? Help! i'm lost!

TIA!

p.s. if you have a better idea for the newborn, i'd love to hear that too...

sticker books sound good, playdough stuff maybe. My kids are really doing Mr Potato head lately too.

One of the best big brother presents DS got was a HUGE Melissa and Doug sticker book. It was fun to play with, and we also doled the stickers out frequently as rewards/bribes (something we needed a lot of around that time, LOL!).
In general anything that they can play with independantly while new mom has her hands full with the baby would be good.
