Gift ideas?

I was wondering what (if anything) people get their children as a "big brother/big sister" gift the day their next baby is born. My first son will be 7 when my second son will be born and even though he'll be included in everything, I don't want him to feel left out or that more attention is being shown to the baby. Also, my mom, sister-in-law and mother-in-law are planning my shower. What is something I can get them as a thank you gift for all their hard work? It doesn't have to be the same gift for all three, but I have no idea of how to thank them.
What great ideas, everyone! Now my problem is deciding which one to do!!

Answer
Involve your son while also giving him a gift. Get him an inexpensive digital camera. (CVS even has 1-time use digital and video cameras that are very reasonable) and give him the job of documenting what is going on--taking pictures of the baby, of what's going on at the house, of what's going on in his life that you are missing while in the hospital, etc. And if it's not a disposable camera, he can keep it for years. http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?sr=1&f=Taxonomy%2FTRUS%2F2254197&origkw=digital+camera&kw=digital+camera&kwCatId=&view=all


For the folks who gave you the party, it's so nice that you want to thank them with a gift. Have you considered sending them each flowers? 1800flowers has "Happy Hour" bouquets that look like mini margaritas, starting at $30 + shipping http://ww12.1800flowers.com/dataset.do?dataset=10361&cm_search=happy%20hour


Or, have a photo book made for each of them filled with new baby pics. You can upload your photos to Snapfish.com and then order professional-looking photo books complete with captions! http://www.snapfish.com/tourphotobooks. These start at less than $15 each.

Ideas - wedding gift for future sister-in-law?

My fiance's sister is getting married this Sunday. They just announced it officially two days ago. (Very last minute). Need ideas for a really great gift. Please, serious suggestions only. I appreciate your thoughts in advance but criticism is not necessary.

A little background:

My fiance and I are not close to his sister (C) or her fiance (K). She is not a girly girl, we both don't know what she likes at all. Her fiance is a techy computer type. They both have dogs that hate each other. "K" already owns his own house and it's pretty much furnished except the unfinished basement.

The gift has to be really nice and something that I hope they will like or at least be impressed by. The budget is about $400 but I'm willing to go over for the right gift. Gift cards and cash are out - my fiance doesn't like it.

I had thought a nice luggage set but remembered "C" didn't like the last one she got as a gift. No idea where the honeymoon is, or if there even is one. No kids yet.
A few more details:

Neither of them cooks. They eat carry out EVERY DAY. They don't travel often. I don't know what they do with their time to be honest. They are not having a traditional wedding ceremony - just the reception for about 100 people.

They don't work out often. They don't do "cultural" things. They don't do much of anything! Sorry...I'm frustrated because I just don't know enough about them to get them anything.

Answer
The best wedding gift for a couple throwing a rushed wedding is a little relaxation. See if there is a massage therapist that specializes in couples massage that you could get to visit the newly weds. You can google therapists in your area, or use a phone book. Normally you can get a good hour and a half for around $150 per person. Some of them will even come to you, rather than you having to go to a spa!
