I'm inclined towards pens with the recipient's name engraved on it. There are times when I want to write something with My nice pen, and in times like that I'm glad I have one.
I'm assuming he's teenager-ish? We got the son of a family friend (confirmed last year, age 16, I think?) a watch, kind of a 'grownup' gift. I'm not talking about anything gold or super-fancy like that, just an 'ordinary' watch, but I picked something that had some bells and whistles on it - stopwatch, alarm, stuff that a teenage boy would like to twiddle with and think it was cool. He loved it. I think I spent maybe $30-40, don't know if that fits in your budget.
Why don't you give your nephew money for his confirmation gift? Then he can use the money any way that he wants. You could also give him a gold cross if he wears jewlrey. I think money is the way to go in a nice card. I hope this helps.
My parents gave me a really nice cross as a confirmation gift, but I don't suppose your nephew would want a necklace. What about an ID-style bracelet? Do kids still wear those? You could have his name and the confirmation date engraved on it (assuming you can find someplace to do it this afternoon, but since you live in rather a larger place than I do, it shouldn't be too terribly tough).

I know, they're traditionally bar/bas mitzvah gifts, but in Italy, they used to give white fountain pens as confirmation gifts as well.
