Gotta get some Christmas gifts for my nephews - any ideas?!? I'm sooo drawing a blank!!
Oh and not too big/heavy cause we gotta ship it.

I think I've lost track of what little kids like these days. It's completely different compared to our generation! I'll have to ask my friend who has a son around that age. Hopefully someone else can help too!
-
Legos or anything they can build or go exploring with? Ive seen science kits and so on.
My nephew was at that age a few years ago though! -
What do they like?
Our godson was 8 last year and really into Harry Potter so I handmade him a personalized letter of acceptance to Hogwarts (used a wax seal and aged the paper with coffee grounds, etc. so it was really cool if I do say so myself!) and we got him a Harry Potter light-up wand.

I would see what they are into, but Legos always seem to be a hit. Maybe video games if they play them? Movies...
-
I'm getting my 7yo nephew a Lego set- he adores them. The other, 6yo, nephew may get Legos, may get something Star Wars, may get a game. They both love Star Wars and action heroes and building things, and I figure any sort of active game/toy should be good.
Do you know which of the many themes your nephews are into? Could you ask their parents? These two have been going nuts over the toy catalogs recently, which always has good leads!

@yoursilverlining: that is sooo cute! love it!
I have noo idea honestly. We live far away from them and don't know them so well anymore.
good set on the legos idea.

Our nephews both (one is 7.5) LOVE Star Wars anything! They also love playing some video game called "Little Big Planet". Spent last weekend with 5 boys ranging from 5-13 and they all love both of the above.
We've also learned that PJs in their favorite things: Star Wars, Legos, NBA Teams, characters, etc. are always well-received by parents & kids. -
We like to buy our nephew books because I'm an avid reader. I just ordered him the Chronicles of Narnia set for this Christmas.
If I were you, I'd talk to the mom though, and see if there's anything in particular she'd like you to get the kiddos. I always just ask my SIL what she wants, since I don't see my nephew enough to know what he has. Often, I'll phase it like "I really want to get Nephew some books for Christmas! Any recommendations?" That way I'm kind of picking the type of gift, but asking for the specifics. You could do the same for legos or movies or anything.

@Adira: oh good call! I love Narnia!
