Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A bright and cheery kit to help grandparent and grandchild keep in touch.
Why we love it:
It's not exactly easy getting kids to keep up correspondence with their grandparents. Especially in the modern age, where kids are on the computer all the time and grandma and grandpa may not be quite up on the e-mail. If you're the parent between generations, or just know a kid or a grandparent who needs to be better about keeping in touch, the Grandconnect kit may be just the thing to keep the communication flowing. Each kit contains two notebooks, colorful stationary and envelopes, and writing topics for the grandparent and grandchild, along with a pledge that each participant signs promising to write each other at least once a month. It's an easy encouragement for both generations to keep in touch. Children will love receiving mail with their name on it, and grandparents will treasure the gift of learning more about their grandchild.
