Kids love candy and snacks! Send him a Junk Food Basket filled with Oreo cookies, goldfish crackers, SlimJims, popcorn and stuff. It'll be full of bright colors and all his favorite goodies.
Yes, I will give the same graduation gift to nephew and a step nephew, even if they are not residing in the same house. Getting same gift will realise nephew that he is not superior and at the same time step nephew will also feel that he is not inferior in any manner.

Since she is going BACK to school, you could give her something that would be useful in the classroom. Something that is made by you, with your own hands, i am pretty sure would also be appreciated.

A birthday gift for your nephew would be appropiate, but it need not be something expensive. At 30 , we hope he is self-supporting by now. A hostess gift for his Mother wouild be optional.
It seems a little ... petty. But sure, if you want to be known as the cranky old aunt, you can enclose a note that the gift is for your nephew and not for "that slut he's marrying." Now ... does this note have any actual legal impact? No, of course not; a gift is a gift, not a contract, and your nephew is perfectly free to share it with his new bride (and, legally speaking, absent a pretty bizarre prenuptial agreement, it's probably joint property anyway).
You should refuse the gift. To accept it would be indicating to the guy that you like him back.

You can say "Congratulations on your new nephew!" or "Congratulations on becoming an uncle!" to express your joy and excitement for the new addition to the family.
