Book it. I'm headed to San Francisco next month to visit my brother, my sister-in-law, my sister, and my potential brother-in-law. My sister-in-law is due in early October, and this will be the first time I've seen my brother and her since the pregnancy. I've recently began shopping for clothes and other baby items to hand out on my visit. For the most part, I plan on being practical and trying to find stuff they will like, but...
I also spent some time today searching for an uncle-related outfit. Maybe an "I Love My Uncle" onesie. Simple. To the Point. Honest. My hunt brought me to a book which may be an even better purchase, even though my niece won't be able to use it for a few years.
"My Uncle Is a Hunkle, Says Clarice Bean"
--by Lauren Child
Aside from the fact that I am, in fact, a hunkle, this book offers one more meaningful tie-in:
"Clarice Bean is back in a second riotous family saga. When Mum and Dad both have to go away on Important Business, there's nothing for it but to ask Uncle Ted to babysit., Uncle Ted is a fireman and says he has had lots of close shaves which is funny because he has a beard. Pretty soon chaos reigns as the guinea pig escapes, Grandad disappears and Minal Cricket gets his head stuck in the railing."
Perfect, right?

That's awesome! (and really funny). I happen to know they make "I love my Uncle" and other such bibs (they don't not stock as many Aunt-related items, though...or maybe they are always sold out of them). Good luck on your "my uncle is the coolest" clothing search. And congrats on your upcoming uncle-dom. : )
Yeah, plenty of good options:
