What should I get for gifts for the ring bearer and flowergirl?

I actually need gifts for three kids. The ring bearing is three and I also need a gift for his older bother (so they don’t fight over it) who is thirteen but is severely mentally and physically handicapped. The flower girl is six. I am not very good with children so I do not know what they would enjoy. The wedding is next week so I do not have time to purchase something offline so it cannot be anything to unusual.
I went to dollar tree and got a big shovel and pail set to use as the “gift bag” for our 2 year old ringbearer. I also got him a sailboat to play with too.
then I got some marvel superhero pop rock with a sucker(his parents let him have that…)
and then I got these from http://www.orientaltrading.com:

We got the frame and glass for our 8 year old flower girl too, then I got some tinker bell ringpops in teh shape of flowers for her, and her “gift bag” is a cute pink basket/purse. then we got her one of those play ribbons, and it’s a sleeping beauty one.
Everything but the frames and glasses came from Dollar Tree, EVERYTHING is a dollar there.
We even got BIG(like 2ft tall) coloring books from Dollar tree, one pirate one, and one princess one, and then we got 6packs of play dough to set up a kiddie table with.
We even got the zoo animal plates, napkins, cups and cutlery from walmart LoL. We want it to be fun for the kids too..
I know the ring bearer won’t really care what he gets, but maybe it’ll be something he can remember, but I know his parents will appreciate the gesture too. We just like giving back
Another big reason I tried to keep everything similar is because I don’t want anybody(parents) trying so say “well he/she got this, so they must be her Favorite” Nobody can complain if they get close to the same thing ^_~
They’re young so won’t appreciate the significance of a wedding gift. For the girl maybe a birthstone necklace – I know at 6 my niece was obsessed with jewelry and shoes… still is at 12 – just like her older sisters and Aunty… The boys – some sort of video game/accessory or star wars?
I would speak with their parents. Ask them what they have been wanting, not what they need.
When I was a flower girl the bride got me a gold bracelet with my name on it. It wasn’t super fancy but it was pretty and girly. That would be nice.
I got my children attendants personalized picture frames with their names and a cute poem and then engraved on the bottom was “thank you” love, us. They all loved it. We got separate pics with each of them so they can frame them and remember the day.
