Choosing Christmas gifts for nephews doesn’t have to be complicated even if they are little budding Einstiens. You’re probably already his favorite relative, anyway, so  you have that going in your favor.  In our recent holiday shopping survey, we found out that most Aunts and Uncles spend less than $100 per niece or nephew during the holidays. So, to help you stay within your budget, just think about things he already has and choose something similar with a twist.
