You could also send her a picture of the pregnancy test or an ultrasound picture! She surely won’t be expecting this. 3. Auntie Shirt We’ve all texted our sister across the room. Maybe it’s to tell her something funny that your cousin did or simply because you want something to drink, either way she wouldn’t be expecting a text that says “You’re going to be an Auntie!!” If your sister likes puzzles, get her one personalized with her new name! Tell her she needs to put it together now because it has a hint of her gift.

This classic pregnancy announcement will surely catch her off guard. You can do this pretty nonchalantly.

Auntie Wine Does your sister enjoy wine? Get her favorite bottle and swap out the label! You could either wrap it up and give it to her as a gift or to be more discrete, set it on the counter and see if she notices. Maybe it’s her birthday, Christmas, or you want to give her a gift “Just Because.” This is the perfect time to tell her you are pregnant….. and she’s going to be an Auntie! This is another casual way to tell her! You could simply call her on the phone and say “Hey Auntie!” Or if you see her in person you could say “Awww Auntie.”There's a first time for everything. Growing up, you had a lot of firsts. There was riding your bike and having a sleepover, or going to school and taking the bus all by yourself. If your family is anything like mine, they made such a big deal about every milestone, and those firsts have become incredibly engrained memories in your mind. But, having firsts doesn't stop when adulting starts. If you have siblings, one day you might be an aunt, or maybe you're experiencing that role in life right now. Whether you officially take on the title, or are just one on an honorary basis, becoming an aunt for the first time is a once in a lifetime experience. And there's some things you'll only ever get out of having a niece or nephew. If you know your sister will want to show off that she’s an auntie, get her a cute new shirt to wear. You could wrap it up and give it to her as a gift or lay it on her bed if she’s coming to visit.
