niblings

Your siblings' offspring

Niblings is a gender-neutral term for nieces and nephews collectively, parallel to how siblings covers brothers and sisters.

Useful when you have both or when gender is irrelevant: I'm taking my niblings to the zoo this weekend.

The word is informal and relatively recent, more common in casual speech than formal writing.
