Big brother goodie bag ideas needed

With 6 weeks left untill my due date I want to start putting together some big brother goodie bags for my 2 boys for when dd arrives.
So far all I have got are a disposable camera each and a little teddy dog each (they are obsessed with teddy dogs)
I have bad pregnancy brain and can't seem to think of anything else to put in.
They are 7.5 and 5.5 if that helps.
I was thinking of making big brother t shirts but I don't think ds1 would wear it even for a day lol.

a little photo frame each - then when the baby is born you can take a group photo of your sons and new son/daughter and they can both have one in their room(s)???
or a scrapbook that they can have lots of pictures in? then they can make their own memories
A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute ...:A0 -
im expecting my 2nd baby in just over 2 weeks and my daughter is 5. I have a little gift bag for her with a disposible camera, a cheap pooh bear photo album in so she can put her own baby pics in, 2 bags of the 10p haribo sweets and a fudge bar and a freddo bar. I will also buy a card from me and her daddy congratulating her on being a big sister.
I have also bought then a bratz doll to give to her from the baby.
Im sure a lot of people will make a fuss of your sons, like i know they will of my daughter so don't worrry about not getting much. If they are anything like my daughter the camera will be the favourite!!
Good Luck x
Forgot to say, i didnt think my dd would wear a big sister t shirt either, but most card shope these days have "Im a big brother / sister" badges with the birthday ones. Perhaps that would be better ?0
