this is a little different. One of the men is our office and his wife are adopting two sisters, age 8 and 9. They move into their home next week-end. We would like to have some kind of a (shower) gift for the girls to welcome them to their new home any idea?

Tell a little more about the girls. Are they foreign adoptions or from your area? Were they foster children? What grade level do you expect them to enter?

If they are from another country, a selection of books, starting with some early childhood books to help them learn the language. If they are from the area, they are VERY familiar with american culture. Tickets to a show for the "family" would be nice. Foster children often have had less perminance in their lives, something to be just theirs maybe even engraved with their new "full" name.

If the office is going in on one large gift, bicycles, a swing set or even a video type game (playstation, x-box).
