Wenger's Escort Watch for Women$146.25 at Amazon.com |
I still have the watch my grandmother gave me when I turned 13 — now a special keepsake. Watches have always been a popular gift for grandchildren, often presented on landmark occasions. Because they’re so special, it’s important to find one that’s going to hold up through the years — look no further than Switzerland! This Escort women’s Swiss watch by Wenger is a great gift for a teenage girl. It’s especially nice because it’s classic and durable, so it should survive most fashion trends, as well as a teen’s active lifestyle. And it’s always helpful when something can be either dressed up or down (much like a teenager’s moods!). Water resistant to 50 meters, the Escort is rectangular, featuring a black dial, mineral crystal, durable stainless steel band and case. It’s just the watch to say, “you’re really growing up.” Many other styles and brands are also available.

It’s easy to match your grandchild’s bedroom or playroom, as you can choose from 14 fabrics and thread colors. The sofa’s size (36″W x 18″D x 21″H) allows for up to 12-letter names in your choice of script or block text.

There’s only so much you can do with a baby play gym… or so we thought! Well, we took in a big breath of fresh air from this outdoor Dream Meadow design by HABA. It includes lovely and lively colors, engaging toys to swat and grasp, as well as sensory-stimulating sounds we’d likely hear in a meadow. What’s especially nice about this design is that the side flaps can be turned up to transform the gym mat into a little bed or changer — great for when babies are still too little for a playpen-style crib. Certainly makes it easier for baby to snuggle up at Grandma’s!

Harry Potter Hardcover Box Set$122.85 at Amazon.com |
Once kids start reading a book from the Harry Potter series they just can’t put it down. While the average kid and many adults have plowed through most or all of the editions by now, this deluxe Harry Potter boxed gift set is a great way to memorialize the achievement. After all, how many of us ever read such tomes at such an early age? As an example the hardcover edition of Book Four is 734 pages! This set includes every book in the series, from Book One (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone) all the way up to Book Seven (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) — all wrapped up in a beautiful package that the grandkids will cherish for years to come.

Although this Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair for children may seem expensive, it truly does grow with the child, fitting all needs, from six-month-olds enamored by the newness of “food, glorious food,” to high-schoolers with books and laptops in tow. Like the brilliant design elements of its stroller cousin (see our review), Stokke’s Tripp Trapp chair design (formerly called the Stokke Kinder Seat), fits every stage of growth. What’s most helpful is that feet are never dangling (the footrest is adjustable, and can be removed when feet reach the floor). A study was even done at Cornell University that showed that preschoolers sit with less distraction, and function better when seated in this chair! You can purchase the baby rail with harness (necessary for babies just sitting up and new to feeding) separately, as well as cushions for added comfort. This eliminates the need for a traditional highchair altogether. And you can choose from different wood finishes and colors. We love ours, and will use it for many years to come!

Everyone is raving about this popcorn (even Oprah!), and we know why. Dale and Thomas Gourmet Popcorn makes decadent dessert flavors kids will melt over, like “Chocolate Chunk ‘N Caramel” (seen here), “Peanut Butter with White Chocolate Drizzlecorn,” and “Butter Toffee and Walnut Crunch,” They also offer plenty of grown-up flavors, like “Garlic and Herb Buttered Popcorn,” and “Southwest Cheddar Chipolte.” And Dale and Thomas place a huge emphasis on the quality of their ingredients and freshness of their final products. They even send chocolate covered popcorn flavors on vacation during the summer months, knowing that they can’t offer the quality they strive for with heat and humidy getting in the way. So know that this is the best popcorn out there, and treat your grandchild, their parents, and even yourself, to a present that really pops!
