Need some ideas guys!!  

what about some hot chocolate mix as well as maybe a gift card for a book store? what about some home made cookies to go with the mug? or some cup of soup and crackers? or perhaps they could use the mugs for pens and pencils which opens up a whole new idea? (pencil crayons etc.)

Hi! Well, I have a couple of ideas as to what you could put into the mugs for your nephews. I would hope that if you threw a few chocolates in each mug that the parents would be ok with that. I don't think there is anything wrong with a few chocolates or candies here and there, especially at Christmas! But, besides a few chocolates for each, maybe a packet of apple cider, and hot chocolate to actually drink out of their mugs. Also, you could include a sort of trail mix in a small bag, assuming that neither are allergic to nuts. A small bag of air popped pop corn or something of that nature would be fairly healthy also. Then the mugs could have an assortment of different things, some healthier than others, but then it does tell the parents that you did in fact try to keep some of the gift healthy.

Hello That's a lovely thought by you and you're an early christmas shopper! Depending on the age of your nephews, maybe some dried fruits such as apricots? Or some hazlenuts, walnuts? Do they have a favourite type of food that you could put in them? You could go in completely the opposite direction and put in small toys. My mother in law used to put small useful things in when my kids were young like those face flannels that are a hard square and you put them in water to 'grow', she once put in the packets to grow the sea monkeys, and small items like that.

What about stationery? That usually goes down well, inoffensive and very useful especially for children, pens, felt tips, that sort of thing. I know when I was a child I used to love getting pencils etc, as I was always drawing and stationery is very useful for school and homework etc... Hope that is helpful my friend, just send the sweets to Wolfie instead LOL!

Pencils....erasers.....other craft supplies...you can get a ton of them depending on the age of the twins.....or sports cards....transformer cards....

You cold always fill it with some kind of trail mix. You could add nuts, M&M's, raisins, cranberries. Or you could put chocolate covered raisins or even yogurt covered raisins in there. Another idea could be a mix of cereals with some mini pretzels, mini marshmallows and some peanuts.

Carob (which is a healthier alternative to chocolate) and/or sugarless candy. My father is a diabetic, so I know about these kinds of things. Sweets do change a child's attitude, that is for sure :)

Apple slices? Fruit? Tickets to DisneyLand? Frankly I think that on birthdays and Christmas a little chocolate etc is OK. It's up to the parents to ensure that it isn't all consumed in a second. I think that it is a lovely thought and any parent that takes offence is a very sad person indeed.

There are quite a few little toys that they make such as tiny cars, action figures etc. that would fit in a mug. U could always put a candy cane in to make it look like christamas. How old are they?

A rice crispies treat? Hmm... I don't know if that is better or not. Maybe you should consult with the parents, their rules may be a bit lienant at Christmas... what about just mini candy canes, or chewing gum? idk...

Change? You could always fill it with change!
