I've had two littles and I LOVE big/little sis week!

One of my favorite things that I did for my first little was to get a puzzle meant for little kids (with like 20 pieces). I wrote clues on the back and gave her a few pieces each day. I wrote some of the clues so that they were on two or three pieces, so it didn't make guessing too easy! I thought that it was pretty fun! And I made the clues hard-- stuff that I knew she wouldn't know about me or things that would make her think it was someone else.

I'm so excited because one of my littles is getting a new little in just over a week. She is great! I can't wait to give her all the presents I've collected for her!

what neat ideas! we always did a disk pendant with our greek letters on the front and your initials, your big's initials and your initation date on the back. I wore it all four years of college and still break it out sometimes because it's so pretty.

I went to contemporarysororityscrapbooks.com and bought the scrapbook The Initiate for my niece this year and she loved it. The scrapbook has printed pages that capture everything from pledge retreat, date parties, formal etc. plus blank pages for her to design as well... getting another one for my cousin this year. Anyway, it was a really great scrapbook and made a great gift... good luck!

Wine&SilverBlue,
Omg your gifts are AWESOME!! Hopefully I'll be getting a little in the fall and I want to use some of your ideas.

for my little sis
 

I found that making stuff was a lot better and added a more personal touch when it came to little stuff. I started collecting pi phi stuff the summer before so by the time i got my wonderful little in teh spring i had a bunch of things for her. a few original ideas i had were....

i bought angel lollipop molds and then some blue and red chocolate and made her some angel pops.
i also bought an arrow mold and made wine and silver blue soap, made it myself and had a blast doing it.

my favorite idea was to make her an angel cake. Below is the finished product and inside was a bunch of clues about me( i printed them out and then wrapped them in tin foil).

I thought it was bad luck to buy yourself a lavalier. It's always supposed to be a gift.
