I need a good eye - preferably yours

Hello blogworld. I have a mission for you. I'm on a hunt for several very cool, unusual and creative gifts, and since it's nearly August I only have a few weeks to find them.

Here's the scoop. My niece is turning 4 in about 2 weeks, a major event in her life of course, which is soon to be completely overshadowed by an even bigger Big Event - the upcoming birth of her baby brother, currently scheduled for 8/28 (obviously it's a c-section).

So, this is your mission, should you choose to accept it - The Great Gift Hunt Of 2007. And I sure hope you will - I need HELP!

I need:

1 birthday gift for a 4 year old girlie-girl who isn't afraid of getting dirty
1 new baby gift for a baby boy (not a blanket, I got them a handmade crocheted one last time)
and
1 big sister gift (smaller, but distinct from the birthday gift)

Because I live in Israel, it's a lot easier for me to order things online and have them delivered directly. However, again because I live in Israel, I don't always know exactly what my sister has or doesn't have. That's where you come in. To up my chances of getting them something they don't have yet, and to ensure that my name will go down in history as the coolest big sister ever, I prefer to give them unique, preferably handmade, gifts.

I know loads of you out there are crafty, heck, some of you even have your own etsy shops, and I'm betting that even those of you who couldn't craft to save your life still have a pretty good eye and have run across all sorts of great things in your internet wanderings. I want to know about them.

There are no cars houses big cash awards prizes of any kind to be given away (since I do have to shell out for three different gifts, plus shipping, here folks), but there will be loads of linkie love and free publicity (among all the twelve people who actually read this blog) for all the suggestions, and of course my undying gratitude, so please, take pity on a craft-challenged mama and help me out with my search. So come, promote your own online business, or your friend's, or your neighbor's, or your neighbor's neighbor's... If I could make them homemade cakes I would, but sadly that's about the extent of my crafting abilities and I just don't think they would travel all that well...

You can leave links or even just ideas in the comments. I'll keep everyone posted as they come in, and if I get enough I'll even do a special linkie love brag post just for that.

Thanks everyone, I can't wait to see your ideas!
