Go to the dollar store. For the 12 month old I would just find something cheap and safe. Like a shaker toy or little puppet.

Normaly I dont do dollar store stuff, as its crap and it breaks and falls apart easy. Ideas for a 1 year olds would be *Baby spoon/fork set, baby cookies(mum mums) a bib, and a small stuffie.
For the 7 year old, I would do nail polish, gum, hair stuff, stickers and maybe a can of play doh. Same for the 4.5 year old
For the 4 year old nephew, I would do a hotwheels car, spiderman stickers/pencils/notepad, bouncy ball, gum
For the 9/10 year old, Similar to the 4 year olds, Maybe one of those squishy ball things, if he has good use of his hands, they would be good for exercising them.

thanks minimo never thought of that they are always loooking to find stuff for him to use his hands. My 7 year old can't have gum becuase she has a spacer put in because she had a tooth pulled and my sister wont give my nephew gum but all the other things sound great

For family birthday celebrations, I never did goody bags. Once you start it's hard to stop and then the kids complain if it breaks because it's usually something really cheap. I have gone to Amazing Savings and gotten kids books or coloring books for about $1 each.
