Where Can I Find a "Big Brother" Shirt?

I have a 2 year old son who is expecting a baby brother soon. I really want to do everything I can to prepare him and make it fun for him. One thing I want to do is get him a "I'm a big brother" shirt. I don't want to order one online unless there are no shipping costs. Anyone know of any common local retailers that carry shirts like these?

Thanks,
A.

What can I do next?

JoAnne Fabrics has really cute iron ons that say "I'm the big brother". I made one for my niece--I just bought a plain T-shirt in a contrasting color and ironed the decal on the front. I bought the iron on letters and put her name on the back as well. Her shirt was a huge hit and even though her little sis is a few months old, she still loves and wears the shirt. I think the iron on only cost around $4 and I bought the shirt on sale at the carters store for $2 so for $6 and absolutely no sewing/crafting skills at all, my niece got an adorable handmade little shirt.

I had one made from a tee-shirt shop in the mall. I was able to personalize it "Joey's Big Sister". which the family liked.

I don't know where you can buy one, but when I was expecting my 3rd child, we made them. We just bought a t-shirt and some fabric markers, etc at a fabric store. I wrote "big brother" (since my kids were too young to write) and let them decorate them. They had so much fun with it and then wore them to the hospital to visit me after the baby was born. I think it was a neat way to prepare the kids and they were happy to make them!

There is a small selection available at both Babies R Us and Toys R Us. Congrats on your new addition! BTW, I'm on the same timeframe as you. Daughter just turned 2 and another little girl due at end of October. Hope you're feeling well!

I got mine last July at Baby's R Us. He wore a size 4t. They did not have one for my 7yo, so I got his at Edwards Hospital's Gift Shop. I do not remember how small they went.
CONGRATS on your new addition!

I saw "Big sister" ones at Von Mawr. I only have girls so don't look in the boy department, but assume if they had big sister, they have big brother, too! Congrats.

You can make one on the computer and then have it transfered to a t-shirt. Their are a bunch of shops that make t-shirts (in warrenville "ESP" is the shop we used, it's out of someones home).
