I know that kids love their bands and this is a perfect way to show them you can relate to them. There are some places online that also carry these types of shirt and you can even find them on eBay. A place that I would recommend would have to be www.cafepress.com they carry a ton of shirts in just about every size this would be a great affordable gift.

Make them a gift basket full of there favorite candy, what is better then opening up a gift as sweet as this? You can find little candies at the dollar store and they even have baskets there to put them in. A creative way to do this is in a Chinese takeout container they have them at craft stores and dollar stores now. Spend 10 bucks on the fillers and be done with it. You can even include little things like pencils, pens, and little notepads that will surely come in handy for school. There is also another gift basket in the form of a cookie bouquet you can get these specially made to order and they have them for any age. You can find a great one at www.cookiegarden.com from anywhere between 30.00 to 50.00. If this isn't in your price range create your own every kid likes cookies !

I have a place online where I like to order from its www.personalcreations.com you can find all kinds of stuff there and they start at 10.00 and go up. They also have a personal shopping assistant that you can chat with and they will help you find something perfect for them. This is a very good idea if you would like to add a personal touch to your gift you can even add onto it somewhere "Love aunt/uncle whoever and the year. This is something that they will cherish year after year and will not cost you a lot to make it happen. I have gotten one of the name collage frames that they offer and you can have it made with their name. They can add their favorite picture in behind it of whoever they may choose and pictures are something that every kid is into.

Last but not least if your nephew is into sports you can pick up a few things that is sure to make their day.
