I shall spoil it rotten, give loud percussion instruments as presents, lots of sweets, and indulgent, pocket-money busting gifts of cash. And I shall get her roleplaying at the earliest opportunity.
"Don't buy the toys that make the noise" -Denis Leary
We have given our nephew many, many devices to help him explore his musical leanings. Remember: Red food colouring in their food just before you leave is your friend.
Fantastic! That's one of my dreams, actually, to be an eccentric aunty and stuff my nieces/nephews with chocolate and cake. Also to be the strange one who lives by themselves in a big house in the country full of cats and teaches them about all the cool strange stuff like the occult, theology, philosophy, astrophysics and roleplaying! :)
Excellent, you really have learnt from my school for scoundrels!! That has been my philosophy as an uncle for ten years now, bravo. *sticks a goldstar to your lapel*
Congrats, you sound like you'll be a thoroughly awful brother by giving the little one loud, messy toys. My brother gave my niece a ball pit with an extra 1000 jumping balls for her second Chistmas.

Admittedly, she was playing a 1 year old baby, but play to your strengths, that's what I say.

It *is* an odd feeling isn't it? I became a great-aunt not too long ago myself.
