a small basket of books, some early reader types for the girls to grow into and a few others they can all read as a family. choose one that maybe even speaks to the family's character or lifestyle if you want. put a small inscription in each. nothing says stability and attention like a nightly bedtime story.

then throw in two lollypops for the girls 'cause nothing makes a kid smile like a giant swirly lollypop. unless they're way under 5. then just add diapers.
