I wouldnt recommend clothes anyway as the parents will be bloody swamped in them at this stage

Also if the older child is still young enough (i.e - jealous of the attention the younger is getting) then I would definately get them something small too.

Something that lasts and can be treasured for their whole life like religious jewellery or a keepsake. Have a look at http://www.christeningsilver.com/

Get something totally different for the sister ... a smaller or "cut down" version of the same gift will only cause jealousy.
