Help! Gift Ideas for Niece (12) and Nephew (10)!

[robinb]

I know exactly what to buy my 6 year old Neice as my own DD is 6.

I need a couple of gift ideas for my 12 year old niece and 10 year old nephew for Hanukkah. My niece's birthday is next week and I am sending her a $25 Target gift card, so that's out. I want to spend less than $50 on each gift. My niece is somewhat girly (but not over the top) and my nephew is not into sports. Any ideas?

What about a GC for Bath and Body Works. That is one of my DD's favorite stores. She is almost 12.

Can't help you with your DNephew, though, boy gifts just aren't a strong area for me.

My boys are 10 & 11. Ok, he's not into sports - what is he into. Both of mine like building sets - asking for Erector Sets this year, also like K'nex. Is there a vido game he's like - mine also both asked for Nintendogs for GameboyDS. Mine also need their Harry Potter & Lemony Snickett collections completed.

Thanks . Bath and Body Works sounds like a plan. They have a new pre-teen line and I have a coupon .

As for my nephew ... I'm not sure what he's into. They live in CT and we're in WI and we only see them 1-2 times a year. I'll email his dad (my DH's brother) and see if he has a Nintendo. The Nintendog game looks like fun.

ETA: I see it's for the Nintendo DS and not for the GameBoy ... I may need another idea.
