Grandparents Day in the United States is on September 7, 2008.  That’s just a few days away, so I thought it would be appropriate to share some products that I think are a wonderful idea for grandparents.

First, here is a great book filled with activities for grandparents and grandchildren to do together, Kids and Grandparents: An Activity Book.

I also came across a variety of books for grandparents to record their memories for their grandchildren.  I think this is such a wonderful idea and a keepsake that grandchildren are sure to treasure as they grow into adulthood and have children (or grandchildren) of their own.  Here are a few suggestions for grandparent memory books:

For My Grandchild: A Grandmother’s Gift of Memory: A book from the AARP for grandmothers to record their memories.

From Your Grandfather: A Gift of Memory for My Grandchild: A book from the AARP for grandfathers to record their memories.

A Grandparent’s Legacy: Your Life Story in Your Own Words: A gender neutral memory book.

Grandparents’ Memory Book: Did You Really Walk Five Miles to School?: A gender neutral memory book.

You can find more books like these by doing a quick search on Amazon.  Check out the great products I found by doing a search for “grandparents book“.  There are so many great items to celebrate grandparents this Grandparents Day!

Here’s another cool contest.  Five winners will each get a Super Soaker Blaster package including a Super Soaker Sneak Attack 4 Way and a Super Soacker Bottle Shot.

The Super Soaker Sneak Attach 4 includes hidden side nozzles, so kids can surprise their opponents and drench them from any angle!  The Bottle Shot lets kids turn an ordinary beverage bottle into a huge water supply, meaning fewer trips to the water spout to refill.

The contest runs through September 20, 2008, and you can follow the link to enter to win the Super Soaker Blaster Package.

Good luck!

I just found this huge sale and have to share!  The online Disney Store is having a big Labor Day sale with up to 75% off popular products. 

Check out this High School Musical Mix Max Digital Video and Audio Player that normally retails for $79.99 but is on sale for $29.99!  It holds up to six hours of videos or 240 mp3 songs.

With High School Musical 3 due to hit theaters in October, this looks like a great gift for the holidays with a great price!
