My brother wrote saying his oldest son, now seven, wrote his first email and sent it to Dad.
"Please get glow sticks."
Aw, Bless.
That is so cute.
The boys got 300 water balloons, a toy that fills them all at once. When filled they slip off into a bucket. The boys put the water balloons on the trampoline and bounce them around. They also have larger balloons, and now they want them to glow.
Come to think of it, that does sound awesome. How innocent. We threw our water balloons at each other. That was the whole point of them.
So I sent them a couple hundred glow sticks. It's amazing what you can get on Amazon. They can do other things with them, make bracelets, balls, eye glasses, and the like. The kits come with little connectors to build various things.

I can imagine what boys, oldest 7, could do with ~200 glow sticks.
Your brother may hate you, your sister-in-law may hate you, but you are now those boys' main man.
In years to come, you will be revered as the Cool Uncle.
Uncle Chip should gift the boys a potato cannon. Loaded with glow sticks and point straight skywards, it gives a colorful shower of glow stick which the kids eagerly run around and pick up. I did this for years on our cul de sac and was always the hit.
