Any ideas for small gifts for a 10 year old (girl), 7 year old (boy), and 5 year old (boy)?
My friend just had a baby and I'm taking her dinner and a gift for the baby tomorrow, but I don't want to leave out her older kids.
Was thinking something in the $5-$10 for each kid - any suggestions?
(and I don't know what any of their interests are 
- we usually hang out sans-kids)

Could you do ice cream gift card to the local frozen yogurt place? that way dad could take them to get something away from baby? Or get some DVDs from the $5 bin at target?

I usually do a book for each, something in their age range, or if you know their interests, something to follow along with that.

I'd go for things that can quietly occupy them or send them outside.
- Craft kit or rainbow loom type kit for the 10 year old.
- Matching water guns or Nerf guns or those velcro ball catch sets for the boys.
- A big board game that all the kids can play together. Something like Sorry can be played by all.
- All the kids might enjoy sidewalk chalk or a sprinkler attachment for the hose.

@reyorra: @gingerbebe: thanks! 
I ended up getting sidewalk chalk, some bubble stuff, and water guns so they can play outside and give mama a break. (they have a big fenced in back yard)
