these are my bosses kids, and they're great kids, but they do have everything. I'd like to get them something unique for Christmas this year...something they don't have and that their parents/grandparents wouldn't think of. But what's too much? And what's too unusual?

Museum passes, passes to a local kid attraction (around here it would be sea world and six flags), gift certificates to build a bear or something similar - somewhere they can go and it's an activity and they get to create something.

together with you and with their parents' consent, a day tour of museums and similar places of interest followed by a movie and then an enjoyable dinner. if not, some hobby kit for the boys and art kit for the girls. books are always good gifts (especially if you take the time to find out what is of interest to the reader). good luck.

Why don't you give them a gift certificate to go to the movies and lunch with you, then your boss gets some free time too.

This I think is the best gift you can give to a person who has everything, it is very unique and I know your bosses will think very highly of you and that is buy them one of these gifts for them to give to a poor country.
Here is a list of some of the things you can buy.
School Supplies $5.00
A year's supply of workbooks, exercise books, pencils and paper for a child in a community education program. (India, Bangladesh, Zambia)
Twenty-five Tree Seedlings $8.00
Tree seedlings for villagers to plant around homes, schools and water tanks to help protect the environment in drought-prone areas. (India, Kenya)
A Mosquito Net $10.00
By sleeping under a mosquito net, a family dramatically reduces the risk of contracting malaria, one of the most common causes of death in young children and women in many rural areas. (Burma, Uganda)
Safe Water $20.00
A supply of safe drinking water for a family through either a well, rainwater tank or piped spring-water system. Clean water will bring immediate benefits to family health. (Bangladesh, Nepal, Kenya, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma)
Training in Organic Vegetable Gardening $25.00
The training and seeds needed to help a family establish an organic kitchen garden. Fresh vegetables, herbs and nuts will help improve nutrition and earn extra income. (India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Cambodia)
Adult Literacy and Numeracy $35.00
Through a short course in literacy, participants learn about health, nutrition and life skills, as well as the basics of reading, writing and counting. These skills build personal confidence and capability, and lead to stronger communities. (India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sudan, Cambodia)
A Year of Health Care for a Family $40.00
A year of primary health care services for a family, delivered through a comprehensive community health program. Includes mother and child health care, immunizations, family planning, nutrition and sanitation education, essential medicines and referral to specialist services. (India, Nepal, Cambodia)
Primary Schooling $45.00
Primary Education for a Child for One Year
A year of primary education for a child in a community education program. Poverty, distance and discrimination prevent many children from attending government schools. Local schools offer them classes that meet their educational needs. (India, Bangladesh)
This is my favourite, buying a Goat $50.00
Just one goat can make a real difference for a poor family. They’re bred for their nutritious milk and meat, and their fast reproduction capability means a small herd can be built up in just a few years. (Uganda, Afghanistan)
This is just one site that does this type of thing
