Need gift ideas for older kids

My boys are 4 and 2 so I have no idea what to get the older kids in DH's family.
I really don't want to do a GC (especially bc DH's family can be real cheap). I do want to get them something useful and nice though.
Want to spend around $15 - $20. We do a big holiday party where all the kids get gifts. Lots of kids so need to get a bunch.

Something for boys around 10 - 12 years. Also need a gift for a girl who's 13.

Thanks!

I would say anything crafty. Michaels craft store has great stuff up to $20 bucks. I bought a magician tricks box pretty big box for $15 on sale for kids 8 and up. I believe they give out gift receipts.

Lego or science kits for the boys and make up for the girl with some real techniques or echo tools brushes.

For the 13 year old girl, maybe a makeup case filled with cute nail polishes? Nail art? I have seen makeup cases at walmart and I think bed bath and beyond. I just got a nail art book/polishes from ac Moore.

For the 10-12 boy.... I just got my nephew something called snap circuits. I ordered it from walmart. It looks cool!
