I need to purchase several gifts: here are the relatives of the whole thing:...gift range $20 to $30
Nephew1: I think he's about 8 and likes what most kids like...seems to be going through a transition from football & Soccer to who knows what
Nephew2: Nephew1's younger brother...I think he's about 5 and is very active...loves sports...soccer, football, just an all around ball of fire...
Neice1: she must be about 5 and loves girlie things...dressing up and playng princess...and all the like...
Nephew3: Neice1's younger brother...he must be about 3..isn't really into anything except that purple dino guy and beating the heck out of his uncle...
Okay...help...please...

I can relate somewhat to your delima, however with kids it's always easier to buy for them than it is adults or so I've found so you should consider yourself lucky on that one.. For the little ones you need to buy for I would suggest asking their parents what some of the items they might be asking for or put on their Christmas list... either that or you could always keep it simple and get a little present along with a gift card to a nearby toystore and then take them out for lunch and a shopping trip to buy what they really want... that's always a lot of fun!
Good luck on your decision and have a wonderful holiday

For my 5yo niece: Disney Princess Fashion Phone, Disney Tinkerbell doll (it's like a Barbie), anything with Hello Kitty on it, Herhsey's Kiss Maker.
For my 3yo nephew: Mega Bloks train or boat set (these are like Legos but bigger and easier for small hands to use)
For my 2yo nephew: Playdoh Fuzzy Friends Farm (you would not believe how big PlayDoh is now!), AquaDoodle mat
My neighbor is storing the 'Santa' stuff at my house for her kids. For her 8 yo son, she has video game cartridges, a pogo stick, and some other stuff that looks boring.
Good luck!

You can also do the ToysRUs gift cards...seems they now sell LOTS of pretty clothes for little girls and just about everything else. Of course all the Nemo stuff is gone...and some other things that were on MY neice and nephew's list.
And this one is a good one...if the kids live close you can volunteer to take them shopping to spend the gift card you got them! That is a double gift...fun with Uncle AND more stuff! Plus you can make sure you get them stuff someone else didn't get them.

ohh and jex...your family gatherings must be just like my family gatherings...you know, the kind where you are inevitably going to need to give someone the car keys to get you home...at 3 though I'm not sure he can reach the petals

You can also take a toy magazine and wrap it up with a personalized gift certificate that says they get a full day or full afternoon of private shopping with YOU! Be as creative as you want but it's better then the gift card...yet lets you go shopping with them. You can also create personalized gift certificates for "Lunch" together....a movie of their choice....a day or skating, sports etc.this is great...thank you... I like the idea of a pogo stick...I may get one for myself. And I like the idea of spending time picking out the real gift together...I'll keep that in the hip pocket. Hopefully though, I can come up with something other than the unclimactical gift card.

These are also nice gifts for your sister/sister-in-law since you give her a break from the kids as well!

Yeah, the tradition at my mom's is that she and I wake up early and make the eggnog (Recipe: one gallon of pure grain alcohol, wave an egg nearby), then the rest get up and we open presents and drink eggnog, then pass out 'til lunchtime, then we go skiing.ohh and jex...your family gatherings must be just like my family gatherings...you know, the kind where you are inevitably going to need to give someone the car keys to get you home...at 3 though I'm not sure he can reach the petals
I just figured from the way that you described the little guy that I was offering the perfect present!

These are tough. My nieces and Nephews (about the same age) all love video games. Otherwise, something that has to do with the sports they enjoy the most.Nephew1: I think he's about 8 and likes what most kids like...seems to be going through a transition from football & Soccer to who knows what
Nephew2: Nephew1's younger brother...I think he's about 5 and is very active...loves sports...soccer, football, just an all around ball of fire...

Nephew3: Neice1's younger brother...he must be about 3..isn't really into anything except that purple dino guy and beating the heck out of his uncle...
Okay...help...please...
