My son wanted Doctor Who and Minecraft items for his 10th birthday.
If your nephew is a Whovian or Minecraft fan, I have found some pretty nice things at ThinkGeek, HotTopic as well as Etsy. LEGO also has some Minecraft sets.

OP here. In the past, if I ask my brother, he says he has to think about it and takes forever and then I have to nag him, and I feel like I can't get it off my plate (can't pull the trigger on a gift).
And if I have an idea, and run a potential gift by him--same--he has to think about it. (My SIL is a nut job and I can't ask her) I suspect the hold up is that he runs everything by my SIL. So I just want to get my nephew something--get your ideas and just pull the trigger.
Wow, in that case I'd suggest $$ because my son always loves money (a small amount like $10 -- one for every year or maybe $11 for one to grow on). However, if SIL would react negatively, do what DH and I used to do with high maintenance relatives: give a book and a gift depending on the kid's favorite hobby, like a book on the solar system and a solar system kit or a book on soccer and a soccer ball.
Good luck.

Is he a lego fan? Plenty of pricey (and non-pricey) kits out there.
A magazine subscription (SI kids is my nephew's favorite) Then he'll think of you every month when it comes.

He's my nephew, so I am happy to spend a bit. We've moved away from him and we miss him so much! I would like to get him something he'd really like.
Any advice? I'm not narrowing it down to "what he likes" because I think I'll get better feedback if I don't box you guys in.
Thank you!
