Gift for 2 year olds?

I need help from the mommies

I need gift ideas for my Twin nephew's 2nd birthday.
here's the dilemmas:
- they have a sister that's 4 and a brother thats 5 (yes, when they were born, my BIL & SIL had 4 kids under 4 )... so they already have Alot of hand me downs/ toys/ clothes, etc...
- there's 2 of them, and i dont want to get them the same exact thing, but i want them to be similar, i guess.
- i dont want to get them bonds, money, or some random toy that they wont like

so, i was wondering if there was anything 'new' or 'in demand' now that would either
A. make them so excited
or
B. make life much easier for BIL and SIL.

any ideas???

Thank you!!!

what about a step stool or chair with their names written on them. Or something from Baby Merry Go Round and have it personalized.

how about some kind of 2 seater car...not sure what you want to spend,but like the escalades or hummer?
they have other ones at babies r us for less $$$ but as a mom of 2 boys that would be an awesome gift!!

there are these dolls that are computerized and can be prgrammed to sing happy birthday on your birthday, know your name, favorite foods, etc.

I know it comes in Elmo but I think there are other characters. I think its called Elmo Knows your name , but they have it at Toys R Us. Here is a picture I found on ebay

I would go with Hullabaloo. It's a game all of the kids can play together.
