Big Sister, Big Brother, Baby Brother T- Shirt
When my little sister was born (I was 2 weeks shy of 2) my mom gave me presents that included a doll and a doll stroller so that I could have my own baby.
Honestly, I don't think (little) kids would really respond to something sentimental (Iike a necklace), you should get them something they will enjoy and that can prehaps connect them to their new sibling.
As for a boy, what does he like?
But, I'm a FTM so I don't really know from experiance.
We will be doing a baby doll for my 2.5 year old daughter and probably some other little toys.
We are giving DS a Buzz Lightyear and having a big brother t-shirt made.
We have always given the kids a new baby doll at the hospital along with a bag full of things like books, crayons, ect that they can use for "quiet time" when I need to focus on the new baby.
We got the Carter's Big Brother and Little Brother matching shirt/onsie. He is totally obsessed with cars (has an entire playroom full of them!), Toy Story, and robots...lol
i agree w/ meg_kaye that a 3 yr old would probably respond better to something practical like a toy rather than a sentimental type gift.
if you want to do something sentimental in addition to a toy, maybe get a "big brother" photo frame & take a cute pic shortly after birth. we are doing that w/ DD who is 6.
I don't know what to give a boy- I have a daughter, so I am going with jewelery- necklace or bracelet- but she LOVES jewlerly. So, she will enjoy it and it will be sentimental. I am also going to get her a toy or maybe a couple of new books. She really likes to read stories and she likes to sit on my lap and we haven't really been able to do that as well lately! So, I am really looking forward to sitting her on my lap while I am in the hospital and reading to her. I better not end up with a c-section...

My 4 year old is getting a "big sister" present at the hospital when she meets her new sister.
Im just getting her something she has wanted for a long time - its a PillowPet (its a full size pillow that is also a stuffed animal), and she's been obsessing about it since this past Christmas.
It was important for me to get her something NOT baby related, as she is obviously tired of everyone asking "are you excited to be a big sister" or " are you going to help mommy change diapers" etc etc. She rolls her eyes and changes the subject. LOL. I want her to get a "gift" that she really wants, too!
I gave DD a Barrbie movie and the matching Barbie (from her new su=ister) when we brought her home. Clearly Barbie isn't a great choice for you, but a movie and/or a toy. I am getting my girls little MP3 players this time.
I thought less in terms of some super-special keepsake (3 yr olds don't care about that) and more in terms of a toy to keep them busy, b/c the baby is getting presents and and lots of attention. I also gave a friend's children color wonder stuff when she had a baby.
I'm with Kirsten. The gift should be less baby-related and more specific to what your child likes/wants.
My son will almost be 3 when our daughter is born also. He's starting pre-school in October, and has been saying how much he wants a Diego backpack. We ordered a Diego backpack online and will bring it to the hospital so our daughter can give it to him. I think getting the backpack will get him excited about starting pre-school, and I think that it being from his new baby sister will mean a lot. I also took him out shopping for something for him to give to the baby, and he picked out a soft "my first doll", so he will be giving that to her at the hospital. I also picked up a toy medical kit that my husband and I will be giving him at the hospital so he will have something new to play with.
