I'm 46, have no clue. Love 'em- want to get cool, not real expensive stuff.
They are in the process of an 8 hour car ride, stopping here 1st.

For your nephew~~~I love the idea of a guitar "care pack", so to speak. Depending on if he plays electric or acoustic~~you can add guitars strings, picks, sheet music for either Green Day or ask someone at the music store what they would recommend for a kid who's into Green Day~~maybe a band that influenced them or who is influenced BY them would be a good choice to broaden his horizons a bit, especially if you aren't sure what Green Day albums he already has. One other thing I bought a good friend of mine was a really cool guitar strap~~his said Dept of Corrections on it, but they also sell items more age appropriate too. Oh! A Green Day beanie or Green Day biker wallet too.
Now for the niece~~~my daughter is 6, and thats a tough age. I agree with High School Musical, and HSM2~~~the webkinz are way popular this year too. My daughter is getting a lot of Bratz horses for Christmas, as well as a Disney Princess Gem Princess Horse and Doll set~~she wanted Jasmine, while my other girl picked Sleeping Beauty~~these are GREAT sets!! Fuzzy posters are always fun too, especially if she has more road time ahead of her after leaving your place!!
Best of luck to you!!

Well, if your son loves Green Day, buy him a shirt of the band (not the one he already has!!!), or buy him a Green Day Song book from the music store, so he can play the songs on his guitar ( or another band he likes). The book I'm reading now is I Am Legend (yes, this book is being made into a sure-winner movie), the book and movie are really, really different. Don't let the scary cover fool you though (Don't judge a book from its cover). I'm not sure what your girl will want, but my sister has a giant Barbie head in which she could design or do stuff to her hair ( she spends hours on that thing). If she already has that, then buy her any Barbie doll (not the one she has of course). Any Questions from me, just write me a PRIVATE Question or Opened question it is your choice.

Perhaps for the 11 year old you can get him an abulm by Green Day that he doesn't have yet.
Guitar hero????
Maybe a book like Harry Potter, but by a different author.
The girl, well thats pretty easy,
New pink things for her barbie or a new barbie doll.
a fluffy pillow?
Take her to Build-A-Bear workshop and see if she would like to make a stuffed animal.
Pink Pajamas?
I hope it helps a little bit......

Get him the game "Rockband" or "Guitar Hero 3" He will love either of them, he does however need a video game console like Xbox 360, or PLayStation. He will love it cuz he can play the guitar to a lot of alternative music like Green Day, as well as some similar artists. EVERYONE wants either one for CHirstmas, trust me!!!As for ur niece, im not to good with Barbie toys, but the word on the streets in Bratz Dolls are better , lol. Good luck this year!!!

You have all the help in your question. Go to wal-mart or target get the boy a guitar, something harrypotter and some books to read. Get the girl pink clothes, shoes, hats, barbies, the stylish doll with the cloths and all that stuff. Go to more stores and find different things. Hurry you only have 15 d a y s.

You could give your nephew something to do with music (guitar picks, strings, sheet music). Guitar Hero is fun too! A gift card to Borders or Barnes and Noble would also be nice.
Your niece might like a Barbi vanity set or dress up stuff. Barbi comes out with new stuff all the time. Bratz are another option. If you are trying to save money.....go thru all your old dresses and shoes and give them to her for dress up fun.

For your nephew, I would get him maybe a guitar book of green day music, a green day poetry book, guitar hero the game, or and music book for the guitar with rock music. For your neice, get her some Bratz dolls or hannah montana stuff. High school musical is really popular too.

For your nephew: Possibly buy him a Green Day CD, or the newest Harry Potter Book, or buy the 5th movie DVD.
For your neice: (tons of kids enjoy build-a-bear) You could get her a pink bear???(sorry that was the best thing I could think of)
Hope that helped.

There is a book out called something like "Everything a Boy Should Know". I've seen it at Sams Club. He will enjoy it.
There are all sorts of Barbie sets with changes of clothes for $20. How about a nurse Barbie or something like that?
