What is a good little gift for a 3 1/2 year old girl and 1 1/2 year old boy that I have never met?

cars, books, maybe some playdough crayons, coloring books..maybe some sidewalk chalk.......balls anything that makes noise! Kids are easy to please and they like the simple things

Donations to their college funds....they'll need them!
something educational to teach them somethin'... they're fairly reasonable in price for the girl ide give her like a barbie set or something like that and for the boy,maybe like a car that makes noise.i have 2 sisters and 3 brothers all younger than 8 so im pretty sure they'd like those
I'd say stuffed animals for both of them. Beanie Babies are still made, they're still cute and they're pretty cheap.
Photos and phone numbers!a Barbie doll for her and a small car for him. They are not too extravagant and will keep the tykes busy while you and their mom catch up.
However, don't give them the impression you will be bringing gifts at each meeting or you will get yourself in trouble.
McDonald's gift cards have worked well for me. $5-10 placed on a McD. card can be used by the youngster (w/ advice from a caregiver or parent) to purchase something for a meal or a treat. Books, board books with bright pictures are good for the littlest one, and something with a fun story about friends for mommy to read to them might be really cool.
All children love books. They're educational, they won't add to the clutter around your friend's house, and they're fun and exciting.
The girl is a good age for Dr. Seuss. I bet you have a couple favourites from when you were little. "What was I Scared of?" and "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish" are great for her age.
And the boy is a great age for cardboard books. He can turn the pages, and chew on them, and they won't rip. My children's favourite at that age was "Happy Baby Colors" available at Wal-Mart. The pictures are bright and fun. As he grows, he'll learn the names of many nouns and the names of the colors.
I definitely agree with the recommendation to get books. My favorites are Usborne. My girls love the touchy feely books, farmyard tales, and the princess books. There are pirate ones the boy might be interested in.

well i don't think that the 1 1/2 year old can play with boy toys yet. it would be easy to go to they baby toys section and on the boxes they usually say from what range of age the toy is good for.
u can ask ur friend what the 3 year old likes, what she collects strawberry short cake is in for little girls, bratz, hello kitty, get her pajamas u can never have enough of that, or make her a gift bag full of this and that for her age colring books etc for the 1/12 something musical and if it gets to hard for u to decide get her a gift card to toys r us or kaybee, or any other store that has toys, and a nice card to go w/ it, good luckI'd say a small doll for the girl and since the boy is quite young, maybe a stuffed animal or a big soft car, Little Tykes makes great "chunky" cars for small boys.
